Here’s all you need to know:
2023 marks the dawn of a new era for one of the most successful British female artists of the 21st century, Rita Ora, as she releases brand new single ‘You Only Love Me’.
Co-written by Rita and produced by Lewis Thompson, ‘You Only Love Me’ is inspired by her personal experience of feeling vulnerable at the very start of her romantic journey. Underpinned by love and passion the song opens with a voice memo from Oscar and BAFTA award-winning filmmaker, Taika Waititi. ‘You Only Love Me’ is an infectious, upbeat pop anthem guaranteed to soundtrack fans’ very own love stories and be a floor filler for months to come.
Rita says: “With ‘You Only Love Me’ and my upcoming album, I wanted to capture the vulnerability I’ve experienced as I opened myself up to love and entered a new phase of life. Learning to let go of the past to make way for new experiences is a deeply personal process, and one I felt compelled to document through my music – the journey was not always easy, but I’ve come out of it stronger and filled with more love than I ever thought possible.”
‘You Only Love Me’ is the first track to be lifted from the internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter’s highly anticipated upcoming album – a deeply personal body of work intrinsically linked to a new chapter in Ora’s life and career. It is also Rita’s first release since inking a partnership with BMG, which will see her own all her future master recordings and enjoy artistic control in a way that she hasn’t had previously.
The accompanying music video for ‘You Only Love Me’, directed by acclaimed creative Charlie Sarsfield and shot in LA suburbs, is one of Rita’s favourite made to date. Depicting a fictional wedding through the lens of a Stepford Housewives meets Alice in Wonderland style narrative, it features hyperreal scenes of a bride’s big day turned tumultuously upside-down, (with bad bridesmaids, the venue going up in flames and more), and a surprise cameo from fairy godmother Sharon Stone saving the day.
Rita Ora’s multi-platinum music career has won her commercial and critical acclaim with 13 UK Top 10 singles and four UK Number One singles. She holds the record for the most UK Top 10 singles by a British female artist. In the US alone, Rita’s acclaimed singles and star-studded collaborations have earned her a #3 Billboard Hot 100 song, 7 Top 10 hits on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs Chart, 5 of which reached #1, and 6 Top 20 singles on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs Chart.
