Rita Ora Drops Inspiring New Song 'Proud'
Rita Ora has dropped her second bop of the year just 19 days in.
Today the 'Anywhere' star premieresa new song 'Proud'in partnership with Absolut Vodka's TheOpen Mic Project, a campaign for acceptance without exception.
'Proud' is not only an inspirational love letter to her fans but a resilientanthem that captures Rita's unstoppable power and hurdles she has overcome in life.
The lovely track opens with some '80s-tinged production and soon transforms into a booming, cinematic pop ballad.
"You make me proud, and I wanna tell the world about you now," Rita soars over the powerful production. "You know it’s you that I love.”
Speaking to Billboardabout 'Proud', she said,“It’s important to me because of my background and how much I [had] to fight to get to even this point in my life.”
"Growing up in Kosovo and refugeeing from Kosovo to the U.K. and starting a new life [...]having the chance to have my dreams come true thanks to my parents."
Did those dreams always include collaborating with Liam Payne for the'Fifty Shades Freed'soundtrack? Considering how perfect 'For You' is, we'd have to say it was meant to be.
Between 'Your Song', 'Anywhere', 'For You' and now 'Proud', Rita is absolutely unstoppable.
