Rita Ora:
He, for fun, made like a music video on AI where like you just sit and type in what you want with your favorite song. And he was like, Why do you guys spend so much money on music videos? You can just do this now. I’m like don’t. Hey, I’m Rita Ora and you’re watching Billboard News.
Rania Aniftos:
We got to talk about “Ask & You Shall Receive.”
Rita Ora:
Yes, the best mantra in my opinion.
Rania Aniftos:
It really is. I love that mantra. Tell me a bit about how you kind of came up with that and where you wanted to go with it.
Rita Ora:
Well, the mantra has been around for a long time. The song I got it sent to me in my email from RAYE, who’s a great friend of mine. She’s also another British pop sensation. And I love her. I’ve known her for a very long time as a songwriter and as an artist. And she came on tour with me back in 2017, sent me the song and I loved it. Sometimes, it’s sometimes it’s not that deep. My third record ‘You & I’ was very deep, emotional. It was about my like, personal life changing. I got married, and I really wanted to share my story with the world. Well, with this one. I was like, You know what, let’s just put out great things that feel good, you know, and the sun is out. I’m always about the sunshine. Everything with my music has been super positive.
Keep watching for more!
