Rita Ora says she won’t ‘hold back’ from being sexy in new music

Rita Ora sat down for an interview with People where she opened up about the new track she released last month called Heat.

Co-written by Troye Sivan, she explained that it truly embodies the spirit of her upcoming album.

At The Hill in New York in Brooklyn Bridge Park, she said, "The whole theme of this record is really about being instant [and] really direct with my messaging and stripping everything back behind me, production wise.”

"This energy with ‘Heat’ was so perfect just to get people ready for the new character," she continued.

About Sivan, Ora added, "I love his sexuality and the celebration he has with that. I was really inspired for me and my womanhood to really kind of celebrate my sexuality, my sexiness and get back into my body, you know? And this really just embodied that."

The singer explained that the first line of the song represents "such a clear message of, like, ‘Oh, wow, she really isn't holding back this time.' And I'm really not."

"I just feel as if I have so many things to sort of remind the public with, especially my new fans," she added, "I kind of love the idea of explaining who I am again."
