The seven years between her debut album and this powerful follow-up were, by all accounts, tough, with record label legal entanglements, high-profile relationship drama, and unseemly rumors. “I was like, ‘I’m angry, I’m sad, I’m frustrated, I’m alone, I’m single, I’m sexless,’” she told curator Arjan Timmermans on Beats 1’s The A-List Pop. “Not anymore.” Armed with renewed self-confidence and a good-vibes-only outlook, she started fresh. Phoenix, of course, is a nod to rebirth. The album is adventurous, triumphant, and unflinchingly honest. “My fans deserve to know exactly how I feel, exactly what I went through, and exactly why they had to wait so bloody long for a Rita Ora album,” she said. Here are the stories behind a few of the album’s standout songs.
\nFalling to Pieces\n“‘Falling to Pieces’ was the first time [many of the album’s writers] had come to London. They asked me, ‘What is this city about?’ And I said, ‘Let’s start off with that, because this is where I’m from.’ It became incredibly emotional. London was rainy and dark that day, which is what we had mood-wise, but the song has this sense of empowerment to it. It feels like London—incredible people of all different personalities, cultures, races. It’s one of my favorites on the album.”
\nKeep Talking\n“Julia Michaels and I were in the studio, both pissed off about something, and I was like, ‘Don’t you just hate it when people just keep talking about you, and they don’t know you, and you just want to scream from the rooftops and be like, 'You’re all wrong!' And she said, ‘They can just keep talking.’ And the song started. I wanted it to feel like two girls talking about something they had in common. Chris Martin, who is an absolute legend, helped take this song to another level. He put that Chris Martin dust on it.”
\nSoul Survivor\n“‘Soul Survivor’ is, for me, the most honest I’ve ever been with myself, let alone my fans. I’m good at pretending things haven’t happened, at compartmentalizing things. This was the moment I said, 'I want to talk about being a survivor.' Because I don’t think anybody went through what I went through, with such powerful individuals in the industry, sacrificing maybe being blacklisted forever because of the moves I had to make to survive. I felt like that was an inspiring story. ‘It’s been seven long years/Fighting for your attention/Manipulated by fear and misdirection.’ That’s just the opening line. It isn’t about anyone in specific, but the demons I had to face to get here. Without this song, I probably would never have believed in myself.”","short":"\"My fans deserve to know exactly how I feel.\""},"isCompilation":false,"isPrerelease":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=23990&salableAdamId=1436290232&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$23.99","price":23.99},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=1436290232&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}],"contentRating":"explicit"}},{"id":"1294717355","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/nz/albums/1294717355?l=en-AU","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":4000,"url":"https://is2-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music125/v4/2d/99/b0/2d99b0e0-1d03-a570-3eae-8548738b3db0/190295720391.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":4000,"textColor3":"1c2028","textColor2":"110d0b","textColor4":"262728","textColor1":"04050b","bgColor":"7c8d9f","hasP3":false},"artistName":"Rita Ora","isSingle":true,"url":"https://music.apple.com/nz/album/anywhere-single/1294717355","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Pop","Music","Rock"],"trackCount":1,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"2017-10-20","name":"Anywhere - Single","recordLabel":"Atlantic Records UK","editorialArtwork":{"storeFlowcase":{"width":4320,"url":"https://is4-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features128/v4/2b/92/9e/2b929ea1-df0d-f813-0763-762126a8a4b5/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1080,"textColor3":"1e2025","textColor2":"170c08","textColor4":"2d2727","textColor1":"040405","bgColor":"8694a3","hasP3":false}},"upc":"190295720391","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"℗ 2017 Atlantic Records UK, a Warner Music Group company","playParams":{"id":"1294717355","kind":"album"},"isCompilation":false,"isPrerelease":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=2390&salableAdamId=1294717355&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$2.39","price":2.39},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=1294717355&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"1236109564","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/nz/albums/1236109564?l=en-AU","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":4000,"url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music117/v4/a9/51/5e/a9515e66-66c4-d681-4000-33f6271dfdd2/190295788841.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":4000,"textColor3":"2d2525","textColor2":"342013","textColor4":"4e3a30","textColor1":"0a0605","bgColor":"b8a2a5","hasP3":false},"artistName":"Rita Ora","isSingle":true,"url":"https://music.apple.com/nz/album/your-song-single/1236109564","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Pop","Music","Rock","Dance"],"trackCount":1,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"2017-05-26","name":"Your Song - Single","recordLabel":"Atlantic Records UK","editorialArtwork":{"storeFlowcase":{"width":4320,"url":"https://is2-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Features117/v4/ce/6d/db/ce6ddbda-4631-3c5f-897a-6a2ba10ab796/source/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":1080,"textColor3":"2d2929","textColor2":"2d1b0f","textColor4":"4a3931","textColor1":"080606","bgColor":"c0b4b6","hasP3":false}},"upc":"190295788841","audioTraits":["lossless","lossy-stereo"],"copyright":"℗ 2017 Atlantic Records UK, a Warner Music Group company","playParams":{"id":"1236109564","kind":"album"},"isCompilation":false,"isPrerelease":false,"offers":[{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=2390&salableAdamId=1236109564&pricingParameters=PLUS&pg=default","type":"buy","priceFormatted":"$2.39","price":2.39},{"buyParams":"productType=P&price=0&salableAdamId=1236109564&pricingParameters=SUBS&pg=default","type":"subscription","priceFormatted":"$0.00","price":0}]}},{"id":"1454323188","type":"albums","href":"/v1/catalog/nz/albums/1454323188?l=en-AU","attributes":{"artwork":{"width":2400,"url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music124/v4/a9/e6/05/a9e605b3-0df2-6788-00c1-ab8b7b098fa6/190296879579.jpg/{w}x{h}bb.{f}","height":2400,"textColor3":"bd7e31","textColor2":"8fa2df","textColor4":"7986b9","textColor1":"e39735","bgColor":"221820","hasP3":false},"artistName":"Sofía Reyes","isSingle":true,"url":"https://music.apple.com/nz/album/r-i-p-feat-rita-ora-anitta-single/1454323188","isComplete":true,"genreNames":["Pop in Spanish","Music","Latin"],"trackCount":1,"isMasteredForItunes":false,"releaseDate":"2019-03-15","name":"R.I.P.

It’s a global project that went beyond language and geographical boundaries but somehow stayed lovely and intimate.” Bang—recorded across a pandemic-hit 2020—might also prove the most important project of Ora’s career. After exploring pop’s borders across her boatload of hits, here she sounds liberated. It began with some lockdown me time. “I was listening to albums I hadn’t heard in ages,” she says. “And I was reminded of those classic artist/producer relationships—Aaliyah and Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Pharrell, Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson. You felt like those artists lived together and lived their music. I wanted that.”
\nSome library-digging took Ora to the viral remix of SAINt JHN’s “Roses” and its Grammy-nominated Kazakh producer Imanbek. Messages were exchanged, translators employed, home mics purchased (“I’m very proud of what a nerd I’ve become”) and horizons broadened. “I needed to go beyond people’s expectations,” she says. “There’s Rita Ora, pop star. I wanted to be Rita Ora, creative.” The resulting collaboration—burnished by its international supporting cast—puts Imanbek’s enormous house basslines in lockstep with Ora’s joyous hooks for something of a coming-out party. “I’ve never married so many styles together,” she says. “This EP relit something in me.” Below, let Ora guide you through Bang’s four tracks.
\nBig (feat. Gunna) (Rita Ora, David Guetta & Imanbek)\n“I messaged David to ask his opinion on something for the EP, and he replied, simply: ‘I know about this record and I have to be involved.’ I had no idea word had got out, but David knows everything. So he sent me a rough outline; Imanbek and I both loved it and changed a few things around; I added my vocal and sent it back to David before I decided it needed a rapper, so messaged Gunna. The song gave the project a life of its own. I’ve done a lot of collaborations and have learned when things feel right, you let it be. And this felt very right.”
\nBang Bang \n“I was in such two minds about using the sample [‘Axel F’ by Harold Faltermeyer from Beverly Hills Cop]. I had a wariness around using something so iconic, that was such a moment in people’s youths. But I couldn’t resist—I thought it was genius, and so much fun. It reminds me of being a kid. Because I was alone in the recording process, I just had to trust my instinct. There’s the melody and a chord progression there which makes it much more than just that sample. You’re going to hear it, know it, and feel good.”
\nMood (feat. KHEA)\n“This is my vibe. It’s the swaggiest song on the record. I always feel I’m a secret rapper deep down, and when I was recording these songs I had to push myself to sing like I wouldn’t usually sing. My roots are in soul music and my love for force-of-nature women, from Janis Joplin to Cher, Debbie Harry and Madonna. I’m inspired by them because I feel I’ve had to fight for myself through so much. I realised I don’t always have to really sing and show off my voice at all times—sometimes it’s just about the vibe.”
\nThe One\n“One of many things I love about Imanbek’s production is how distinctive his sound is. It’s entirely his own. This, for me, shows that sound off best. It’s got his ‘deep horn’, as I called it. He kept saying, ‘Rita, it’s not a horn,’ I’d apologise and we’d move on. It was supposed to be The Sad Moment on the EP, but he put this heavy club dance beat behind it and told me, ‘No sadness. We’re going to hit them hard.’”","short":"“There’s Rita Ora, pop star.
