The track entitled ‘You For Me’ was written by the ‘I Love It’ singer prior but she did not intend to release it for herself as a solo artist. Charli XCX then collaborated with DJ Sigala on the track, the British electro-dance producer and DJ responsible for such hits as 2016’s single ‘Say You Do’ and the 2018 release ‘Feels Like Home’. The finished track includes Rita Ora’s vocals and will be released as a single.

This is not the first time in which the singers have worked together, Ora had released a reworked version of Charli XCX’s track ‘Doing It’ on 12th January 2015. The track was taken from her second studio album ‘Sucker’, released on 15th December 2014 and peaked within the charts at number eight. Same track was featured within a Pepsi advert for the brand’s ‘Out of the Blue’ musical campaign and section of the song is sung by Charli XCX. The musical pair also worked together in 2018, were they performed with Cardi B and Bebe Rexha on ‘Girls’- a song that is charged with female empowerment and serves as an anthem for liberation and power.

A source has spoken with the Daily Star Newspaper concerning the duo’s recent collaboration on the new track. “Charli co-wrote You For Me a few years ago but never planned on it being for herself. She and Rita are best mates so naturally she loves that she is going to do her thing on it.”

Rita Ora has also previously discussed with NME regarding her new music, the singer spoke on her excitement concerning her upcoming third album. Ora spoke on what fans can expect from the ‘R.I.P’ singer’s follow up to her second studio album, ‘Phoenix’ released 2018.

She explained “People have been coming to studio sessions from all over the world. I’ve been working on this now for the past two year on and off. I have plans for this third album to be something I’ve never done before and I really want to experiment and come face-to-face with a bit of a bit of a challenge. So there are writers I’ve never worked with before and live instrumentation.”

In more recent news, Ora took to Twitter to celebrate the second-anniversary of her track ‘Ritual’. The track which saw the singer team up with Tiësto and British songwriter and producer Jonas Blue was released on 31st May 2019.
