It's definitely coming! 
There's a video of her announcing the release here: https://twitter.com/RitaOra/status/863049879395999745
And it's now available for pre-order of iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/your-song/id1236109564
No false alarm this time

f***ING FINALLY
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 12th May 2017, 04:05 PM
She better BRING IT

Elton John teas
Posted by: mdh 12th May 2017, 04:08 PM
Maybe it's a cover of Jasmine Thompson covering Ellie Goulding covering Elton John?
In all srsness tho, I'm rather excited for this. Hope she doesn't go R&B like Body On Me was.
Posted by: ~josh~ 12th May 2017, 04:29 PM
Yaaaay, hyped at this FINALLY happening! She's basically put out banger after banger since Hot Right Now so I have high hopes for this. Hope it's an undeniable smash like IWNLYD to get the public to take some notice too.
Body On Me is her second best track for me though, mdh! 
Posted by: mdh 12th May 2017, 04:31 PM
I liked the track, but I FAR prefer pure pop Rita
Posted by: cqmerqn 12th May 2017, 04:31 PM
A pure pop song is what I want but it will obviously be R&B.
Posted by: Cremey 12th May 2017, 04:32 PM
Echoing the FINALLY comments.
Really hoping the break doesn't cost her too much in terms of success, I want this comeback to be HUGE.
Posted by: cqmerqn 12th May 2017, 04:34 PM
She'll get a ton of R1 support.
Posted by: Tombo 12th May 2017, 04:34 PM
If she's covering Ellie Goulding -facepalm
Posted by: l♀tita 12th May 2017, 04:36 PM
you do know ellies was a cover right?
Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 12th May 2017, 04:37 PM
Lmao she is finally coming, coincidentally, after Calvin allowed her to use the music again!!
Talentless.
Also, I don't think a dance cover of the Ellie Goulding version of Elton John's Your Song is gonna work at all tbh :/
That's like Jonas Blue's niche.

Whaaaaaat
Posted by: Jonjo 12th May 2017, 05:42 PM
I'm ready!
I will be really pissed off if it's a cover of the Elton song though! Please be amazing.
Posted by: Cody S. Berry 12th May 2017, 05:52 PM
Well now she's got time for promo now that she ain't doing ANTM anymore 
Posted by: WallIsSoGood 12th May 2017, 06:06 PM
Calvin Harris diss track incoming
Posted by: cqmerqn 12th May 2017, 06:10 PM
it leaked.... and it's a big pop cover of Elton John's original..
Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 12th May 2017, 06:25 PM
OI KNEW IT!!!
Lmao at her doing a Calvin Harris remix version of Ellie Goulding's pop version of Elton John's Your Song!!
Steppin on Jonas Blue's toes!!!
Posted by: danG 12th May 2017, 06:43 PM
Don't tell me we've been waiting so long for a new Rita single and it turns out to be an Elton John cover version
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 12th May 2017, 06:52 PM
It's not a cover, it's apparently co-written by Ed Sheeran and Steve Mac!
Posted by: Jonjo 12th May 2017, 06:54 PM
Yup!
Posted by: Juliano 14th May 2017, 10:19 PM
A very small snippet of what I assume to be the start of the song is on Rita's insta, sounds promising just from that.

Cheap Thrills 3.0 
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 14th May 2017, 10:34 PM
But 'Body On Me' wasn't R&B? If anything, musically it was a carbon copy of Nick Jonas - Jealous.
Posted by: Jonjo 14th May 2017, 10:35 PM
I think it's sounding more 'Symphony', but I think it'll fit really nicely in between both 'Symphony' and 'Cheap Thrills'!
Posted by: cqmerqn 14th May 2017, 10:39 PM
In what world?
Posted by: Klaus 14th May 2017, 10:41 PM
I wonder if she'll ever carve out her own music style rather than riding the coattails of others.
Posted by: Liаm 14th May 2017, 10:41 PM
omg like 3 seconds of the song and already HRH Queen Sia of inventing tropical pop has to be given a comparison 
Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 14th May 2017, 10:54 PM
It's desperate Rita Ora
She would go to McDonald's to order a hit if she could.
Posted by: Roba 22nd May 2017, 03:19 AM
I adored IWNLYD so hopefully another big tune like that and consider me hyped *.*
Posted by: Вuzzjack 22nd May 2017, 08:05 AM
I thought everyone thought she was going to do a song with Marshmello 
Posted by: burbe 22nd May 2017, 10:02 AM
She has but it's not the lead single
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 24th May 2017, 06:25 PM
The preview clip sounds like what would have happened if Clean Bandit had produced Work From Home - sounds VERY good from the tiny teaser we have!
Posted by: cqmerqn 24th May 2017, 06:33 PM
WHere can I hear the preview?
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 24th May 2017, 06:48 PM
Her instagram 
Posted by: cqmerqn 24th May 2017, 06:50 PM
Oh yeah ok.
By the way please check your DMs on Twitter :/
Posted by: liamk97 24th May 2017, 08:49 PM
That was my first impression too (as it happens, just recently a Clean Bandit cover of 'Work from Home' was uploaded to Spotify!).
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 24th May 2017, 08:51 PM
Erm, listen to them back to back and see.
Posted by: Jonjo 25th May 2017, 10:32 AM
I am SO excited for this tomorrow! (Hopefully today!)
COME ON RITA. GRAB THAT 5th NUMBER 1! *.*
Posted by: Ryan. 25th May 2017, 12:54 PM
It's very radio-friendly, it doesn't quite have that all-out chorus I would like but it has an earworm quality that I imagine will really settle in after a few listens. Very carefree and summery though!
Posted by: Cremey 25th May 2017, 01:21 PM
I like the verses a lot more than the chorus. It's not as huge as I was hoping it'd be but I'm loving it all the same.
I'm a few listens in and I can see it being stuck in my head for the rest of the day. And yeah, carefree and summery for sure!
So good to have her back ❤️
Posted by: Jonjo 25th May 2017, 01:32 PM
I really love it.
Yeah, I understand the comments about the chorus being not as "grand" or as "big" but I really love it.
BIG HIT PLEASE!
Posted by: lotita 25th May 2017, 01:32 PM
YAAAAAAAAS
this is a brilliant comeback*.*
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 25th May 2017, 01:33 PM
This is fab! 
Definitely gonna be a defining song for me this summer that I already know I'm gonna have on repeat! *.* <3
Posted by: Kye 25th May 2017, 01:43 PM
Where are people hearing it? 
Edit: thanks for the PM's <3 I love it!
Posted by: Cremey 25th May 2017, 02:33 PM
Okay I'm already obsessed with this.
I don't like when she sings 'kiss your lips' in the second verse though, you can just tell that's the way Ed sang it and it puts me off, haha.
Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 25th May 2017, 02:41 PM
Can someone pm me with it please??
Posted by: burbe 25th May 2017, 08:39 PM
LOVE IT! YES RITA!!!!!! WELCOME BACK!
Posted by: Davidson 25th May 2017, 08:41 PM
Meh, this is the definition of average.
Sounds like it could be an album track on the Zara album.
Posted by: Dane 25th May 2017, 08:42 PM
Pleaseeee could someone pm me this! So excited to hear this.
Posted by: cqmerqn 25th May 2017, 08:44 PM
Could someone pm me this too pls?
Posted by: Liаm 25th May 2017, 11:25 PM
Can't fathom the praise for this I can see it being a grower but after 2 listens it's left next to no impression on me.
Posted by: Jay ☆ 26th May 2017, 05:15 AM
It's not love on first listen, but it's a pleasant track and I can see it worming its way into my affections soon!
Posted by: cqmerqn 26th May 2017, 05:58 AM
Is Ed Sheeran on this? Whoever it is ruins it a bit
Posted by: mdh (ft. Quavo) 26th May 2017, 06:26 AM
I'm just happy she's gone for a pop banger instead of going R&B again 
On first listen I can see this being a grower, but I feel like the chorus will end up as quite the earworm.
Posted by: ~josh~ 26th May 2017, 06:35 AM
This is a catchy little tune and definitely an earworm of a chorus as others have said. I do wish it was a little more explosive like IWNLYD is but it still sounds like it could be a massive hit! I do hope we get a couple R&B tracks on the album in a similar style to Body On Me though (lol, if we EVER get an album that is).
Posted by: blacksquare 26th May 2017, 07:48 AM
This is so basic - keep it.
Posted by: *Tim 26th May 2017, 08:10 AM
It's featured on a Snapchat filter, Queen of Promo
Posted by: Cody S. Berry 26th May 2017, 12:19 PM
*shrugs* it's pretty nice I guess
Posted by: SevenSeize 26th May 2017, 01:05 PM
I do like quite a few past Ora singles but this is pish- more inoffensive semi-tropical for the spotify charts + where's the chorus 
Posted by: Dexton 26th May 2017, 04:21 PM
No More Sad Songs + Now and Later 
Posted by: Martyn 26th May 2017, 04:26 PM
It's cute but so Ed it hurts.
Posted by: J▲hq 26th May 2017, 04:49 PM
'Pleasant' and 'nice' are exactly the words to describe it. IWNLYD and Poison >>
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 26th May 2017, 04:54 PM
It's not bad! To me it sounds like a pop Clean Bandit.
Posted by: troylovesmusic 26th May 2017, 05:10 PM
Really liking this it's so breezy and feel good !
Posted by: TMD_24Quavo 26th May 2017, 07:35 PM
Sounds like Sheeran is on backing vocals again if you listen to the Chorus.
Posted by: FezVez 26th May 2017, 07:37 PM
I love it!
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 26th May 2017, 09:49 PM
This really is worming its way up my affections with each play
Posted by: Roba 26th May 2017, 09:56 PM
it's nice, certainly a lot more chilled than what I was expecting from her after two years away but it's definitely a smash I think despite using the tired tropical sound that's been infecting everyone's music in the past year. it's instant as well for me. obviously it's no 'I Will Never Let You Down' but it'll do!
Posted by: Cremey 27th May 2017, 11:37 AM
Can't get enough of this. Don't even want to know how many times I've played it already 🙃
Absolutely adore the artwork too 👌🏼
Posted by: ReyOfSpunShine 28th May 2017, 12:28 AM
I really like it! It feels like ages since I've properly enjoyed a Rita Ora song
Posted by: Dobbo 29th May 2017, 04:01 PM
This is awful. At least Poison was catchy.
Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 29th May 2017, 04:09 PM
Reminds me of Poison or IWNLYD, chillednouy rnb vibed pop. It's a solid niche and sets her apart. I like it!
Thanks to Jonjo and Cremey for the link too.
Posted by: jase. 29th May 2017, 10:33 PM
where's the chorus?!
Posted by: Cremey 29th May 2017, 11:15 PM
🙄🙄🙄
This is already one of my songs of the year.
Posted by: Liаm 29th May 2017, 11:29 PM
Still really not getting this, I've given it countless chances but I just find it too basic and doesn't go anywhere. It's alright to the point I wouldn't change the station if it was on the radio and would probably bop if I was in a good mood or drunk, but it's the least I've liked a single of hers where she's the lead (obviously the meh ones like that New York one and Lay Down Your Weapons are worse).
Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 29th May 2017, 11:38 PM
I love it! I love Rita too but it's disappointing she doesn't have a defined sound.
I feel like every release is totally different and I haven't worked out if its a good or bad thing
Posted by: jark 30th May 2017, 09:04 PM
Really? I feel it's a very natural evolution of the Let You Down / Poison sound. Great single.
Her 1 Big Weekend set was so phenomenal.
Posted by: Yeasty Clutch 30th May 2017, 09:18 PM
That's because it is. Her style now is basic throwaway mellow pop. It won't last the ages but it will keep a fanbase so propa to her. It is very of the moment, designed for radio, inoffensive pop.

This song is perfect with good lyrics. Rita 's Genres is Pop.
Posted by: Regina 31st May 2017, 08:45 AM
Kept hearing this yesterday while doing exhibition set up and the more I heard it the more I liked it. Shocking cause I've never taken to her before.
Posted by: :up: 29. Sigrid 1st June 2017, 11:10 AM
Future #1?
Posted by: Quavo (ft Quavo) 1st June 2017, 01:28 PM
Yeah this is going to smash. Will 100% guaranteed be a top 3 hit.
Posted by: burbe 1st June 2017, 02:19 PM
This has been such a well managed comeback so far! I don't think it will hit #1 but surely a big top 3 is on the cards with how well it's held up this first week?! Almost top 20 on Spotify already is quite amazing for her.
Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 1st June 2017, 02:22 PM
This is coming for a top 15 debut which is VERY impressive I think, considering Body On Me didn't make the top 20 at any point and Coming Home failed to debut top 40! Hopefully it can hit the top 10 next week and keep climbing from there.
Posted by: Liаm 2nd June 2017, 01:10 PM
Ok this has finally properly hit me *.* The more I listen to this, the more it really feels "her" which I feel about I Will Never Let You Down as well rather than her earlier work (although Radioactive and How We Do are still my faves from here alongside I Will Never Let You Down). It's refreshing that this is just a breezy pop song not trying to be anything else.
Posted by: Sigrid(ft.Quavo) 3rd June 2017, 04:06 PM
2 on iTunes!!
Posted by: liamk97 22nd June 2017, 11:34 AM
Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd June 2017, 11:35 AM
Doubt this will have much effect as there is a lyric video playing across channels
Posted by: Jonjo 22nd June 2017, 11:41 AM
Very good!
Imma be pissed if she snatches Little Mix's top 10 placing tomorrow though 
Posted by: BigMixer 22nd June 2017, 09:21 PM
Why isn't this on her VEVO channel?
Posted by: Jay ☆ 25th June 2017, 09:29 AM
It's because she's now on the Atlantic label, part of the Warner Music Group. Their artists don't use Vevo channels for some reason!
Posted by: Martyn 25th June 2017, 07:25 PM
The video is nice, but is it just me who think it feels like the video was supposed to be for a different song?
Posted by: liamk97 26th June 2017, 01:37 PM
I got that vibe too. 'Your Song' sounds so light and summery and I expected something to match, not Rita's version of 'Notorious' with dull colours and cloudy skies.
Posted by: cqmerqn 26th June 2017, 05:15 PM
I echo this.
--
Could be its final shot at going top 10 this week! Seems pretty likely it'll move up to 10.
Posted by: mqh 26th June 2017, 05:28 PM
#1 on Hot Hits UK, I'm feeling quite certain it'll be able to snatch a top 10 placing - which will be a great result for a comeback single.
Posted by: cqmerqn 26th June 2017, 05:30 PM
Before release, I predicted that she'll flop in at a #32 peak!
Posted by: Cremey 26th June 2017, 06:13 PM
Yeah I'm thinking it could be finally top 10 this week! Fingers crossed anyway.
One of my songs of the year so obvs I would prefer it to be a multi week number 1 but it's done really well for her considering how long she's been away / how shoddily handled her music career has been since the first album.
I actually LOVE the video. I was expecting a bright, summery video too but I think this one actually really suits the song too! Plus she looks incredible and comes across as such a star, she really should be up there with the huge pop girls in my opinion.
Posted by: Martyn 26th June 2017, 10:25 PM
Is it the same office? Or just similar?
Posted by: jase. 26th June 2017, 10:38 PM
STILL can't get into this. It just doesn't go anywhere.
Posted by: OutstandingMixer 27th June 2017, 01:48 AM
Same. It's just a lame Ed Sheeran song that plods along with no melody whatsoever
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 27th June 2017, 08:33 AM
I'm loving it, as someone who is not a Rita fan at all. I'd even say it's possibly running IWNLYD close.
She does look stunning in the video, but it's ridiculous.
Posted by: cq(uavo)merqn 1st July 2017, 10:10 PM
Anyone else shocked at how well this is doing? I really thought her chart career was over as she was on The X Factor as a judge. She was seen as a celebrity rather than a singer! Maybe she has Nick Grimshaw to thank.
Posted by: JosephStyles 1st July 2017, 10:13 PM
I was starting to get worried after Body On Me underperforming and her not releasing anything in about a year and a half, so I'm pretty surprised too that she's come back with a top 10 hit in this day and age! Very impressed, and pleased, can't wait for the album (when it eventually comes ).
Posted by: cq(uavo)merqn 1st July 2017, 10:24 PM
Well IIRC, the release for Body On Me was very messy, and it was her first OA/OS single after all.
Posted by: burbe 2nd July 2017, 11:16 AM
I'm really shocked at how successful this has been! Her having friends in high places has definitely helped, I think.
Posted by: jase. 2nd July 2017, 06:20 PM
Body On Me was such an anthem!
Posted by: SeanGrey 8th July 2017, 04:05 PM
I didn't realise Heart were playing this until I heard it in the car earlier!
Posted by: lewistgreen 19th July 2017, 12:19 PM
Video for the Cheat Codes Remix
Posted by: 360Jupiter 19th July 2017, 12:50 PM
Prefer Cheat Codes remix I think
Posted by: burbe 19th July 2017, 06:35 PM
This to become a US hit pls
Posted by: Tombo 21st July 2017, 07:47 AM
This is such a good song, I hope she cna get an album out this time or maybe she will just continue as a singles artist(?)
I also re-listened to Poison recently and omfg, it is incredible!
Posted by: Saenerys 21st July 2017, 07:55 AM
I also re-listened to Poison recently and omfg, it is incredible!
Poison is incredible - easily one of the best songs of 2015. I do hope she has some killer singles like it for this campaign as I do like this, but isn't in the same boat as Poison just yet!
Posted by: ML Hammer95 21st July 2017, 07:59 AM
I actually really like this. Like the original more than the TeamSalut Afrobeat remix with Burna Boy which says a lot.
'Poison' was crap though, no redeeming features about that one.
Posted by: burbe 29th August 2017, 10:53 PM
It was only a matter of time *.*
Posted by: Jonjo 29th August 2017, 11:01 PM
Kinda over this now. Still really like it, but I'm ready for something new.
Posted by: Envoirment 30th August 2017, 01:28 AM
Hopefully Rita Ora (feat. Ed Sheeran) remix doesn't come next. Glad this song has done so well, but ready for the next single now!
Posted by: Liаm 30th August 2017, 02:29 AM
Yeah 100%, this is still a bop but please move on Rita
Posted by: THEO. 18th September 2017, 10:23 AM
She's performing this, a new version of "I Will Never Let You Down" and a cover of "Like a Virgin" mashed up with a Travis Scott song in the Live Lounge from 12pm.
As much as I love her/this song, I really wish she'd move on and give us the damn album already! I'm happy for "Lonely Together" to smash right now but she NEEDS to release another solo single before 2017 is over!
Posted by: lewistgreen 18th September 2017, 10:33 AM
'Girls' is coming no? I just wished she'd released it before today as that would be the performance we would be getting. Considering they're supposed to be doing a 'current single' and this came out in May, it's not really that current anymore
Posted by: THEO. 18th September 2017, 10:49 AM
I'll believe it when I see it on Spotify. Honestly her record label are ridiculous, I don't know why you wouldn't want to capitalise on the success of 8th biggest song of the summer... It's not as if she's got a good track record for singles with good longevity either...
Posted by: THEO. 18th September 2017, 04:49 PM
Interesting choice of mash-up. Decent performance overall.
