Already added to Today’s Top Hits, I feel like this could easily be another smash. I love it.

Posted by: Botchia 23rd November 2018, 11:32 PM

This wasn't one of the standouts on first listen of the album but on repeated listens it's definitely an obvious single choice. I think it could be another big top 10 for her!

Posted by: Juliano 23rd November 2018, 11:34 PM

GREAT choice! It stood out the most to me out of all of the album tracks, but I really think more artists should take a leaf out of Dua Lipa's book and just release everything.

Posted by: liamk97 24th November 2018, 12:15 AM

I had Rita's album on at work before we opened and this was one of the songs that stood out to me. Pleased to see signs of it being the next single.

Posted by: JosephAvery 24th November 2018, 11:26 AM

Definitely my top choice for next single, think she's got another big hit on her hands!

Posted by: Theo. 24th November 2018, 12:51 PM

Debuts at #49 on Spotify UK - I think that's 1 place higher than "Let You Love Me" debuted at

This isn't my favourite track from the album but I'm sure when I listen to it more on its own, it will grow on me.

Posted by: JosephAvery 25th November 2018, 11:03 AM

Added to Hot Hits UK!!!

Posted by: ZaraRuinMyLife 25th November 2018, 11:13 AM

Expects a Nicki Minaj remix.

Rita confirmed that Nicki will feature on an upcoming project.

Posted by: JosephAvery 25th November 2018, 11:18 AM

Keep it

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th November 2018, 12:52 PM

I can see this being a massive hit.

Posted by: BigMixer 25th November 2018, 02:01 PM

Love this, such an obvious smash!

If we ignore Girls, the era is serving pop perfection

1. Your Song
2. Anywhere
3. Let Me Love You
4. Only Want You

all solo singles

Posted by: Wasabi. 26th November 2018, 09:52 AM

I'm guess the rest of Rita's promo for the year will be for this song now, Michael Mcintyre was filmed a while ago so I could see that maybe being LYLM, but I feel like 'Let You Love Me' has a very long an healthy campaign and it feels somewhat pointless now the song is on ACR.

Posted by: Theo. 26th November 2018, 01:54 PM

This is already recovering on Spotify after its fall yesterday, it's up 12 places to #130 even with an insane amount of Christmas songs ahead of it. It's not done anything on iTunes at all though so I don't expect it to chart officially this week.

Other than Michael McIntyre, what does she have lined up? Victoria's Secret has been filmed already.

Posted by: Wasabi. 27th November 2018, 11:45 AM

I'm not sure, Rita seems to get booked for everything, so I wouldn't be surprised if she pops up more! She'll be on at least one of the TOTP specials I'm sure, but if she does both I can see her doing LMLY on one and OWY on the other.

Posted by: danVember 27th November 2018, 11:56 AM

back in the spotify top 100 at #92, looking good for it so far.

Posted by: Wasabi. 27th November 2018, 01:26 PM

I really hope the video is going to be better than the snoozefest for Let You Love Me.

Posted by: Theo. 27th November 2018, 02:25 PM

Unless this has already hit the top 20 within the next couple of weeks, I don't think she'll perform it on TOTP as they usually record it in early December.

I'm sure Liam will be there for them to perform "For You" instead

Posted by: Botchia 27th November 2018, 09:47 PM

This isn't on any big playlists yet is it?

Posted by: JosephAvery 27th November 2018, 09:50 PM

It's on both Hot Hits UK and Today's Top Hits!

Posted by: Theo. 27th November 2018, 09:50 PM

It's on Hot Hits UK and Today's Top Hits

Jinx Joseph!

Posted by: Botchia 27th November 2018, 10:03 PM

Oh mess

It's flopping then x

Posted by: Theo. 27th November 2018, 10:18 PM

Spotify hasn't received its cheque to move her up their playlists yet
It'll be a hit when
they want it to

Posted by: Theo. 30th November 2018, 05:47 PM

Debuts at #89 in the UK and #59 in Ireland!

Posted by: TheGrinch 18th December 2018, 02:55 PM

Removed from TTH.

Posted by: Joeflake 18th December 2018, 05:25 PM

It’s there for me?

Posted by: slowdown73 22nd December 2018, 02:49 PM

There are stronger songs on the album than this that would make better singles!

Posted by: blacksquare 24th December 2018, 04:30 PM

I see her moving on immediately from Phoenix after this. I wouldn't be surprised by a lead single or a feature around summer.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 24th December 2018, 09:50 PM

Like what? I listened to the album and found nothing that would make a better candidate than this.

Posted by: 🎄Cqmerqn🎄 25th December 2018, 12:09 AM

I actually think Only Want You is one of the weaker tracks, she should’ve gone for Cashmere or New Look.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 26th December 2018, 02:08 AM

First Time High or Soul Surviour would’ve been my picks for the next single.

I do like this though.

Posted by: dannjohn 31st December 2018, 10:31 AM

is this still happening?

Posted by: Glühbotchia 31st December 2018, 02:54 PM

I imagine they're waiting until next week to start pushing it since we're still in the Christmas freeze / New Year boost for older songs

Posted by: slowdown73 6th January 2019, 03:58 PM

New look and first time high are both far better songs. In fact, only want you is one of the weakest songs on the album.

Posted by: danuary 6th January 2019, 03:59 PM

This song's clearly not happening is it?

Or at the very least it needs to be remixed.

Posted by: JosephAvery 6th January 2019, 04:17 PM

Although it's worth considering that a song can be a good single choice without it being your favourite on the album.

The campaign for this hasn't even started yet, it still sounds like a hit to my ears so let's give it a while to see when radio support kicks in.

Posted by: Joeflake 6th January 2019, 08:04 PM

It sounds like a big hit to me. As soon as it starts getting pushed I reckon it’ll take off quite fast. At least it was finally moved up from the depths of Hot Hits a few days ago!

Posted by: Jay ☆ 6th January 2019, 09:26 PM

I reckon this has great potential too. Let's wait and see

Posted by: Botchia 6th January 2019, 10:25 PM

I think this could do an IDGAF and grow very quickly out of nowhere once it's playlisted on radio / high up on HHUK.

Posted by: Jack 10th January 2019, 11:26 PM

I hope she gets a move on with this soon, really getting back into it again recently

Posted by: Cqmerqn 27th January 2019, 12:33 AM

Rita has confirmed that a remix is coming!

Posted by: Jack 27th January 2019, 12:57 PM

With a featured artist too

I really think she could've got away with not having one!

Posted by: Theo. 27th January 2019, 01:27 PM

Where has she confirmed this?!

Posted by: Cqmerqn 27th January 2019, 08:03 PM

In an interview, can’t remember which one but it was a US radio

Posted by: Joe. 28th January 2019, 01:27 PM

Yeah the feature single version is out soon apparently.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 30th January 2019, 12:36 AM

I hope it’s with a vocalist and not a rapper.

Posted by: dannjohn 2nd February 2019, 07:59 AM

Itll either be Swae Lee or Ty Dolla Sign as they seem to be the popular rent-a-rappers at the mo

Posted by: TheGrinch 2nd February 2019, 08:55 AM

'Only Want You' should truly have been impacting the radios by now.

Posted by: Joe. 5th February 2019, 09:21 AM

Yeah, I'm not really sure what's taking so long with this?!

Posted by: M4NG0 7th February 2019, 10:05 AM

Now there's a lyric video for 'Soul Survivor' so I'm completely confused as to what the next single is? Still got my fingers crossed that it's 'Only Want You', with or without a rent-a-rapper, but then what's with the lyric video??

Posted by: Joe. 7th February 2019, 10:15 AM

Apparently things have been halted a bit because Let You Love Me is still climbing on US radio. I hate it when this happens, their 6 month behind radio system is a pain in the neck.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 7th February 2019, 12:40 PM

I don't see why they can't just push this out here too, they're completely risking losing momentum in the market she's successful in.

Posted by: Jack 7th February 2019, 01:32 PM

She's never gonna be a huge US star, give it up and concentrate on the UK/Europe!

It feels a bit of a slap in the face, like her success here isn't good enough.

Posted by: Bjork 13th February 2019, 06:50 AM

wonder who will be the guest on the single?

Posted by: tommie 13th February 2019, 08:46 AM

It's coming across as she's yet another one who've become obsessed with the thought of breaking America and not realising that she's long-term wrecking her career where she actually has some success. I really wish some people would adopt Kylie's attitude when it comes to US success and not completely give everything else up in an effort to chase it.

Posted by: Theonix 13th February 2019, 09:34 AM

Apparently she's filming the video on Friday and Hannah Lux Davis is directing!

Posted by: Joe. 13th February 2019, 10:22 AM

Ohhh, exciting!

Posted by: Theonix 13th February 2019, 11:12 AM

Let's have the Phoenix rate results to celebrate! 😜

Posted by: Theonix 18th February 2019, 10:30 PM

Can she just announce the remix already? Let You Love Me is dying on US radio, she needs to move on

Posted by: BotchLikeThis 18th February 2019, 10:30 PM

She's still waiting for Girls to take off though!1!!

Posted by: Kehlindsey 18th February 2019, 10:32 PM

Posted by: 365 18th February 2019, 10:38 PM

Yeah I have no idea what’s taking so long!

Posted by: BigMixer 27th February 2019, 11:55 AM

Coming this Friday!

6LACK is the feature on the new version!

Posted by: danG 27th February 2019, 12:01 PM

All that time they waited and all they could get to feature was a rapper who's barely known in the UK?

Posted by: Jack 27th February 2019, 12:51 PM

6LACK is useless on features with Normani & Kehlani so I really don't care that much. I'm just happy at this point it's coming!

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 27th February 2019, 05:00 PM

Who the eff is that?

Posted by: Theonix 27th February 2019, 06:09 PM

Can't help but be disappointed with the choice of feature, especially as he has zero name recognition in the UK but we know by now that Rita isn't content with local success and hasn't been for a long time

Posted by: Theonix 27th February 2019, 06:46 PM

LOVE the artwork though! A shame they didn't bother with one for Let You Love Me

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 27th February 2019, 08:34 PM

It kind of looks a bit like a bit like one of those drunk selfies I have on my phone, where I accidentally blurred the image a bit.

Posted by: 365 28th February 2019, 03:45 PM

I like this remix! The rap is gooood! It's quite melodic.

Posted by: Theonix 1st March 2019, 12:09 AM

It's not on NMF. WTF?!

Posted by: SweetButJonjo👻 1st March 2019, 12:26 AM

They didn't add 'Think About Us' either, I wonder if they've stopped adding "Single Remixes" to NMF now?

Posted by: Jay ☆ 1st March 2019, 03:42 AM

The new version is serviceable, but I definitely prefer the album version. Hope it'll be a hit!

Posted by: 365 2nd March 2019, 04:45 PM

So odd that this wasn’t on New Music Friday? I hope it doesn’t have a Think About Us and take over 2 weeks to get added to Hit Hits UK....

Posted by: JosephAvery 2nd March 2019, 07:33 PM

Disappointing from Spotify there, let's hope it gets a Hot Hits add soon to make up for it.

The remix is fine, 6LACK doesn't add or take away anything from the song really.

Posted by: 365 3rd March 2019, 02:44 PM

If anything the remix has reminded me how amazing the song is. It really deserves to be another top 10 for her.

That's great but lol at them playlisting the album version.

And where is the damn video?!

Coming 10pm UK time.

Posted by: Botchia 6th March 2019, 10:11 PM

Well she looks good but the video makes no sense lmao

Posted by: liamk97 6th March 2019, 10:29 PM

Feels very Britney 'Everytime' at parts.

Posted by: Theonix 6th March 2019, 10:31 PM

I thought she was serving Britney - Everytime for the first look which made a lot of sense when the paparazzi arrived. She looked stunning in the gown though but I agree with Ben that it made no sense

Posted by: 365 6th March 2019, 10:51 PM

I didn’t understand the storyline really but I loved this moment.

Posted by: Theonix 6th March 2019, 11:11 PM

She's even wearing the same hat at Britney! Icons appreciating icons *.*

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 7th March 2019, 12:07 AM

Ahhh, I do really love this song. I hope it can be a decent sized hit for her!

Posted by: Kehlindsey 7th March 2019, 12:19 AM

not that keen on 6lack's verse but this is probs my fave from the album so i'm glad it's her next single, that video made no sense but i'm 110% here for brunette rita

Posted by: Jonjo 7th March 2019, 12:33 AM

I guess the video is basically saying she doesn't need anybody and she only needs herself. As if she's singing it to herself about herself.

Like, she'll take care of herself and she's proud of herself etc..

It's cute tbh.

Posted by: Cucumberella 7th March 2019, 12:43 AM

i thought the video was crap

Posted by: Botchia 7th March 2019, 10:13 PM

break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored teas

Posted by: Theonix 8th March 2019, 07:49 AM

!!! Ariana wishes

This has been added to Radio 1's C List, as expected. Hopefully Spotify add it to the playlist this week so the ball can finally start rolling, it's too good to break Rita's hit streak

Posted by: Theonix 8th March 2019, 05:47 PM

This has re-entered the chart at #90, one place below where it peaked when Phoenix was released - pretty decent given it had none of the support that the album version did in its first week

Posted by: pippa 8th March 2019, 06:54 PM

Hopefully the success can build and make its way into the Top 40 and keep album sales moving too.

Posted by: 365 13th March 2019, 09:41 PM

Up to B list on R1 already. For some reason I expected a few weeks stalled on C list.

Posted by: 365 18th March 2019, 03:45 PM

Starting to think that this won't be added to Hot Hits again, given the album version was on there for 2 months

Posted by: Jay ☆ 18th March 2019, 04:21 PM

Would be such a shame if this becomes her first single to miss the Top 40

Posted by: Nick F1 18th March 2019, 04:23 PM

yeah it looks like it will be ignored.

It's has started to grow on itunes #93 album version #107 6lack version.

Hopefully that it will reach at least top 40

Posted by: Botchia 18th March 2019, 07:49 PM

I fear this is true RIP to this bullshit x

Posted by: 365 21st March 2019, 09:08 PM

This is starting to do good things on iTunes. Shame about shady Spotify

Posted by: Theonix 22nd March 2019, 07:05 PM

New peak of #68 officially so at least all of her singles as lead have made the top 75. I agree that it really doesn't deserve to be her first to miss the top 40 though </3

Posted by: 365 25th March 2019, 09:15 AM

There's a vertical video out on some smaller playlists. Deserves HHUK

Posted by: LMLou 25th March 2019, 10:06 AM

I know most don’t agree but I just feel like this was the wrong choice of single - I reckon First Time High or New Look would’ve caught on a little quicker

Posted by: 365 25th March 2019, 10:39 AM

They would have done the exact same if they weren’t on Hot Hits while being pushed as a single.

Posted by: Wall 25th March 2019, 03:56 PM

spotify ruined this by putting it on playlists too early but at the same time her label should have released the single earlier. I can't believe this is going to miss the top 40.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 26th March 2019, 11:10 AM

They can't not add it to Hot Hits sometime soon surely?

I refuse to believe there's still not a chance for this.

Posted by: Wall 26th March 2019, 11:45 AM

The difficult thing is that once a song is removed from hot hits, it’s very difficult to get back on and the song itself isn’t doing well on any platforms really.

Posted by: 365 29th March 2019, 12:12 AM

Yay 59p!
