Rita Ora announces third studio album with "Praising You (feat. Fatboy Slim)"

The track follows the release of "You Only Love Me" which was Rita Ora's first release since inking a partnership with BMG, which will see her own all her future master recordings.

"To not only get Norman’s stamp of approval, but to actually collaborate with him and pay homage to such a massive song from my childhood was truly a surreal experience,” says Rita Ora. “I think this record means something different for everyone, but from my perspective, it’s about praising your loved ones and really celebrating those relationships. I’m incredibly honoured that we get to breathe new life into the song and re-introduce it to a whole new generation."

The accompanying video, directed by Academy Award winner Taika Waititi, is a nod to the Spike Jonze-directed “Praise You” video and features a cameo from Fatboy Slim.

In an exclusive partnership with Meta, it is available to view on Facebook as a premium music video and on Instagram today and will be available on all platforms including YouTube from 28 April.

The single coincides with the announcement of Rita Ora's third studio album You & I which follows on from 2018's Phoenix.

Working with executive producer Oak Felder (Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Alicia Keys, Usher), and co-writing every track, Rita Ora has created an album conceptually threaded together to signify the different chapters of her relationship.

“This album really means a lot to me,” she says. “It's like my diary of the last few years, it's my sound and it just feels so true to me and who I am today.”
