Rita Ora is gearing up to release a brand-new track titled Joy, recorded exclusively for the highly anticipated Netflix reality series Love Is Blind UK.
The How We Do hitmaker, 34, has been quietly working in the studio and is expected to unveil the song within days, offering fans a powerful anthem about 'finding inner peace'.
The track won’t be part of her upcoming fourth studio album, making it a unique project tied solely to the dating show.
A source told The Sun, “It’s no secret that Rita loves love, so she jumped at the chance to record a track for Love Is Blind UK. Joy is a standalone piece, a mini side-project that speaks to the emotions the show explores.”
Though Joy will be available for streaming and featured in the series, there are reportedly no plans for a music video or major promotional campaign.
The Netflix collaboration comes as Ora continues to stay active both musically and personally.
While fans await her new album, the singer recently opened up about personal struggles, including body image and online rumours that once put her in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
In a chat on Davina McCall’s Begin Again podcast, Rita reflected on the 2016 speculation that she was 'Becky with the good hair', the mystery woman referenced in Beyoncé’s track Sorry from the Lemonade album.
At the time, Ora was signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label and found herself wrongly accused of having an affair with the rap mogul.
Addressing the hurtful rumours, Rita shared that Beyoncé was nothing but supportive throughout.
“Behind closed doors, [Beyoncé] is literally my fairy godmother,” she said.
“She was my protector ... that’s what’s insane, because there was nothing but love.”
Separately, Rita also spoke about her changing relationship with her body on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast.
Partnering with Dove’s Self Esteem Project, she admitted feeling “ugly” in her late 20s due to societal beauty pressures.
“My stamina was low, I wasn’t looking after my body, and I didn’t feel like my body was hot,” she confessed. “It’s sad to think back because I know I wasn’t [ugly].”
