Rita Ora's most personal project to date with the singer co-writing every track on the album. Throughout it, she has woven together a conceptually cohesive album that explores different chapters of her relationships and delves into the experience of falling in love.
Leading up to the album's release, Ora dropped the single "Praising You," a reimagining of Fatboy Slim's iconic hit, "Praise You." The track which, like the Fatboy Slim song, also samples Camille Yarbrough's "Take Yo' Praise," once again brings the glory of Miss Yarbrough back to the airwaves!
Collaborating with Fatboy Slim on the track holds special significance for Ora. She expresses her gratitude, stating, "To not only get Norman's stamp of approval but to actually collaborate with him and pay homage to such a massive song ["Praise You"] from my childhood was truly a surreal experience. 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 honored that we get to breathe new life into the song and reintroduce it to a whole new generation." Fatboy Slim, aka Norman Cook, adds, "From a chance meeting late one night in the Naughty Corner at Glastonbury, a friendship and collaboration grew that, on paper, may look unlikely. Yet here it is, and it has a life of its own!"
