Rita Ora, Cardi B, Charli XCX and Bebe Rexha Unite On ‘Girls’
The all-female collaboration of the summer is here…
It’s finally here: the Rita Ora-led summer anthem ‘Girls’ has arrived and it is glorious.
The ‘Anywhere’ diva teams up with Charli XCX, Bebe Rexha and Cardi B for the massive tune, which is a major Song of the Summer contender.
‘Girls’ is a breezy, flirtatious dose of pop perfection, featuring one of the catchiest choruses in recent memory and an effortlessly killer energy between the four artists.

The sapphic bop has Rita, Charli, Bebe and Cardi confessing their love for getting down with girls (yes!), adding another banger to the ever-growing #20GAYTEEN playlist.
"Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls / Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls," they sing on the stadium-ready chorus before Cardi elaborates with a hilariously cheeky verse.
The 'I Like It' rapper closes out her epic verse with an invitation to Rita and Miss XCX, saying "Tonight, I don't want a dog, I want a kitten (meow) / I might French a girl from Great Britain." Oww, indeed!
We first heard 'Girls' last year when Rita and Charli debuted the track at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend with RAYE, and have been waiting ever since for its official release.
Speaking to Capital FM today, Rita revealed that the song was never intended to be a single until she saw the response from fans after that performance, before stating that Cardi was the first feature on the song.
"I got Cardi on the song about a year and a half ago [...] and then I got Charli and then I got Bebe, and it really naturally became this song of girls that I really love and inspire me."
Describing it as her "dream collaboration", we think we need to agree because 'Girls' is an absolute monster of a song and we are completely obsessed with it.
Bring on the music video, queens!
