R.I.P
Rita Ora; Tinie Tempah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

R.I.P. to the girl you used to see
Her days are over, baby she's over
I decided to give you all of me
Baby come closer, baby come closer

Sexy senorita, I feel your aura
Jump out that new motor
Get in my flying saucer
I'll make you call me daddy
Even though you ain't my daughter
Baby I ain't talking books
When I say that I can take you across the borders
I'm young and free, I'm London G
I'm tongue in cheek
So baby give me some time to drink
Slow and steady for me
Go on like a jersey for me
And say the words soon as you're ready for me

I'm ready for ya
Hit 'em all, switch it up
Put 'em on, zip it up
Let my perfume, soak into your sweater
Say you'll be here soon, sooner the better
No option for, you saying no
I run this game, just play a role
Follow my lead, what you waiting for?
Thought it over and decided tonight is your night

Ca-a-an you fe-e-el my he-he-he-he-heart is beatin'
Ca-a-an you fe-e-el my he-he-he-he-heart is beatin'

R.I.P. to the girl you used to see
Her days are over, baby she's over (I-I-I'm ready for ya)
I decided to give you all of me
Baby come closer, baby come closer (I-I-I'm ready for ya)

Nothing on, I strut around
I do it big, I shut it down
I wonder if you'll be able to handle me
Mental pictures, no cameras please

Ca-a-an you fe-e-el my he-he-he-he-heart is beatin'
Ca-a-an you fe-e-el my he-he-he-he-heart is beatin'

R.I.P. to the girl you used to see
Her days are over, baby she's over (I-I-I'm ready for ya)
I decided to give you all of me
Baby come closer, baby come closer (I, I, I'm ready for ya)

Yeah I hear you talking
Don't know who you trying to flatter
Got my mind made up (I, I, I'm ready for ya)
I'm in control, but with you being a man
You don't seem to understand (I, I, I'm ready for ya)
I, I, I'm ready for ya
I, I, I'm ready for ya
So keep thinking you the man
Cause it's all part of a plan
I, I, I'm ready for ya

Ca-a-an you fe-e-el my he-he-he-he-heart is beatin'
Ca-a-an you fe-e-el my he-he-he-he-heart is beatin'





R.I.P. to the girl you used to see
Her days are over

Overall Meaning

"R.I.P." is a song by British singer Rita Ora, featuring British rapper Tinie Tempah, released as the lead single from Ora's debut studio album, Ora. The song touches on the theme of empowerment, as the lyrics suggest that Ora is leaving behind her old self and giving herself over to her lover, who seems to respect her more than her past self. Ora sings "R.I.P. to the girl you used to see/ Her days are over, baby she's over". This phrase is the recurring refrain throughout the song, serving to emphasize the message of moving on from the past and embracing a new sense of self.


Tinie Tempah's rap verse serves to reinforce the song's message of empowerment. He raps about a confident, young man who is unafraid to take risks and travel across borders. The rap also reveals that the two are not related by blood but he describes himself as the young lady's daddy, highlighting the loving relationships between the two.


The song is characterized by a catchy female pop vocal hook that is backed by a frenetic electronic beat. The pulsating electronic beat with the throbbing bass line and the catchy chorus, which is sung in a high-pitched, breathy voice, creates a perfect atmosphere for a club hit.

You're not getting the point (that I want to be with you)


So keep thinking you the man
Keep being confident in yourself


Cause it's all part of a plan
It's all part of my strategy
