Rita Ora Returns With New Song “Heat”
British singer-songwriter Rita Ora returned with a new song “Heat” on June 6, 2025.
The song is her first single in a year since “Ask & You Shall Receive”, which was released last May.
Also, she released the song alongside her performance at the World Pride Music Festival in Washington, D.C.
Rita Ora first performed the song at Kylie Minogue's Tension tour on the US leg in Miami in April 2025.
The track was written by Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan, alongside Brett McLaughlin, Michael Matosic, and producer Peter Thomas.
The accompanying music video was directed by Justin Daashuur Hopkins and was filmed in Miami Beach.
She will appear on Capital's Summertime Ball to perform the song in London on June 15, 2025.- Rita Ora said of the song, “Dropping 'Heat' on the same day as my World Pride performance feels like the perfect way to kick off summer - it's such a special moment for me and for my fans who have supported me over the years. I'm obsessed with this track, and honestly, I just wanted to have fun with it! It's bold, cheeky, and totally drenched in golden, feel-good energy. For me, it's all about celebrating freedom, joy, being unapologetically yourself and owning who you are!”
