Her first UK exposure came after several collaborations with British singer Craig David. In 2009, she also auditioned for BBC talent competition 'Your Country Needs You' – to select the United Kingdom's entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest – but withdrew her application.
In 2009, she signed a recording contract with Jay-Z's label Roc Nation and relocated to America. The How We Do (Party) Songfacts reports that when Ora visited Clear Channel with Jay-Z to present music and videos from her debut release, the executives were so enthused by what they heard that they organised for How We Do (Party) to be immediately premiered on DJ JJ's afternoon show on New York's top hit music station WHTZ (Z100). Her debut album ORA was released on 26th August, 2012.
In December 2015, Ora filed a lawsuit against Roc Nation, seeking release from the label and citing that the contract she signed in 2008 is "unenforceable", due to California's "seven-year rule." The complaint stated that she's "only been permitted to release one album despite creating multiple additional records for release" and that her relationship with Roc Nation is "irrevocably damaged." Her complaint also pointed out a breach of contract, reporting that Roc Nation breached the recording agreement by improperly taking twenty percent commission of her income. In January 2016, Roc Nation filed a counter-lawsuit against Ora for breaking her recording contract. They reached a settlement in May 2016. In June 2016, it was reported that she signed a new record deal with Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group.
Ora's second studio album, Phoenix, was released in November 2018. The lead single, "Your Song", reached the UK top ten; and the subsequent singles, "Anywhere" and "Let You Love Me", reached the top five in the UK. "Let You Love Me" allowed Ora to become the first British female solo artist to have thirteen top ten songs in the United Kingdom. Phoenix was supported by the "Phoenix World Tour" which began March 1st, 2018 and commenced July 16th, 2019.
In September 2019, Ora revealed she had begun work on her third studio album.
Your Song
Rita Ora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can taste you on the tip of my tongue
Alarm without no warning
You're by my side and we've got smoke in our lungs
Last night, we were way up, kissing in the back of the cab
And then you say, "Love, baby, let's go back to my flat"
And when we wake up, never had a feeling like that
I don't want to hear sad songs anymore
I only want to hear love songs
I found my heart up in this place tonight
Don't want to sing mad songs anymore
Only want to sing your song
'Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Yeah, you know, your song's got me feeling like I'm
No fear, but I think I'm falling
I'm not proud
But I'm usually the type of girl that would hit and run
No risk, so I think I'm all in
When I kiss your lips, feel my heartbeat thump
And now we're way up, dancing on the roof of the house
And then we make love right there on your best friend's couch
And then you say, "Love, this is what it's all about"
So keep on kissing my mouth and put that record on again
I don't want to hear sad songs anymore
I only want to hear love songs
I found my heart up in this place tonight
Don't want to sing mad songs anymore
Only want to sing your song
'Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Yeah, you know, your song's got me feeling like I'm
I don't want to hear sad songs anymore
I only want to hear love songs
I found my heart up in this place tonight
I don't want to sing mad songs anymore
I only want to sing your song
'Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm
I don't want to hear sad songs anymore
I only want to hear love songs
I found my heart up in this place tonight
Don't want to sing mad songs anymore
Only want to sing your song
'Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love (I'm in love)
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love (I'm in love)

Ashley C : Thanks for reply to my comment in such a nice way.
I agree in most part but don't forget than Rihanna did hold a show in the past too. The huge difference is that she didn't became successful thanks to Roc Nation even if the owner was the same, she barely worked with Jay-z . In fact as soon she've changed her record label for the Roc Nation even her got some bad management issues.
Rita Ora wrote so many songs but they've refused to release it.
A beginner artist get so many opportunities than when they gets older. And if your record labels doesn't help you in that somehow you started to do other things outside music to get paid.
Let's be clear if you capable to be different from the crow like Adele or Amy Winehouse than your music/voice speaks for themself. I've mentioned 2 of the most female british singers of our generation which they've become international artists.
Rita Ora wasn't treat like the other on her previous record label. Even another artists admitted they didn't expect to be left so alone after been signed with Roc Nation.
My opinion was based purely by mismanagement of the Roc Nation. Instead of her could be another singer and I will express the same opinion.
