Rita Ora is killing it right now. She's hosting Boy Band in the US to rave reviews and her brand new single 'Your Song' is soaring up the charts. It debuted at Number 13 on the UK Singles Chart in June and it has since been certified Silver.

It's safe to say that the Ed Sheeran penned hit has quickly become one of the songs of the summer.

Fresh off of this new wave of success, Rita dropped by MTV Asks with Becca Dudley to discuss 'Your Song', her new album and everything that we can expect from the 'I Will Never Let You Down' hitmaker in the upcoming months.

Rita kicked off the interview by revealing that she's "so surprised by the amazing reaction” that 'Your Song' has received. After working in TV and being away from the music industry for a couple of years she says that she "didn’t know what to expect”.

Rita also talks in depth about working with her close friend and fellow musician, Ed Sheeran, on the single.

She says it was amazing because she "always wanted to work with [Ed] but never really found the time".

When asked about the album, Rita is keen to discuss it. "I wanted this album to be as honest to me as possible so obviously I wrote some of the stuff but I was also inspiring the writers for the other records." She then adds that "it's really vulnerable".

Bearing in mind that she's worked with artists like RAYE, Charli XCX and Rudimental, we think that we're in for a treat.

Rita then talks about sliding into Shawn Mendes' DMs for a potential collaboration with the 'Mercy' singer. Unfortunately due to timing, a duet between the two stars is yet to happen but Rita says that they "became really good friends" so don't lose hope.

Not only that but she talks about her dog being "more of a diva than [her]" and the fact that she's "been writing [a film] secretly".

OMG. A FILM WRITTEN BY RITA ORA. SOMEONE PRODUCE THIS ASAP. WE NEED TO SEE THIS!

I woke up with a fear this morning
But I can taste you on the tip of my tongue
Alarm without no warning
You're by my side and we've got smoke in our lungs

Last night we were way up, kissing in the back of the cab
And then you say love, baby, let's go back to my flat
And when we wake up, never had a feeling like that
I got a reason so man, put that record on again

I don't want to hear sad songs anymore
I only want to hear love songs
I found my heart up in this place tonight
Don't want to sing mad songs anymore
Only want to sing your song
'Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Yeah, you know your song's got me feeling like that

No fear, but I think I'm falling
I'm not proud
But I'm usually the type of girl that would hit and run
No risk, so I think I'm all in
When I kiss your lips, through my heartbeat thump

And now we're way up, dancing on the roof of the house
And then we make love, right there on your best friend's couch
And then you say, love, this is what is all about
So keep on kissing my mouth and put that record on again

I don't want to hear sad songs anymore
I only want to hear love songs
I found my heart up in this place tonight
Don't want to sing mad songs anymore
Only want to sing your song
'Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love
Yeah, you know your song's got me feeling like I'm

I don't want to hear sad songs anymore
I only want to hear love songs
I found my heart up in this place tonight
I don't want to sing mad songs anymore
I only want to sing your song
'Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm

I don't want to hear sad songs anymore
I only want to hear love songs
I found my heart up in this place tonight
Don't want to sing mad songs anymore
Only want to sing your song
'Cause your song's got me feeling like I'm (Got me feeling like I'm)

I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love (I'm in love)
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love (I'm)
I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love (I'm in love)
Yeah, you know your song's got me feeling like that
