Rita Ora is killing it right now. Since making a triumphant return to music in 2017, the 'RIP' star has scored three Platinum singles in the UK, landed a performance slot at the BRITs and recorded the coveted lead single of Fifty Shade Freed with Liam Payne.

That's not all though. Rita now joins Shirley Bassey and Petula Clark as the British female artists with the most UK Top 10 hits.

View the lyrics
Time flies by when the night is young
Daylight shines on an undisclosed location, location
Bloodshot eyes lookin' for the sun
Paradise delivered and we call it a vacation, vacation

You're painting me a dream that I
Wanna belong in, wanna belong in

Over the hills and far away
A million miles from L.A.
Just anywhere away with you
I know we've got to get away
Some place where no one knows our name
We'll find the start of something new

Just take me anywhere, take me anywhere
Anywhere away with you
Just take me anywhere, take me anywhere
Anywhere away with you

Fun, little less, fun
Little less
Over-over-over-over
Me, me-me-me, me
Me-me-me, me-me-me-me
Oh

Fun, little less, fun
Little less
Over-over-over-over
Me, me-me-me, me
Me-me-me, me-me-me-me

Truth comes out when we're blacking out
Looking for connection in a crowd of empty faces, empty faces
Your secrets are the only thing I'm craving now
The good and the bad, let me in
'Cause I can take it, I can take it

You're painting me a dream that I
Wanna belong in, wanna belong in

Over the hills and far away
A million miles from L.A.
Just anywhere away with you
I know we've got to get away
Someplace where no one knows our name
We'll find the start of something new

Just take me anywhere, take me anywhere
Anywhere away with you

Fun, little less, fun
Little less
Over-over-over-over
Me, me-me-me, me
Me-me-me, me-me-me-me
Oh

Fun, little less, fun
Little less
Over-over-over-over
Me, me-me-me, me
Me-me-me, me-me-me-me

Take me anywhere
Oh, anywhere
Anywhere away with you, ooh, ooh
Take me anywhere

Over the hills and far away
A million miles from L.A.
Just anywhere away with you (Oh anywhere, anywhere, anywhere)
I know we've got to get away
Someplace where no one knows our name
We'll find the start of something new (Oh we'll find the start of something)

Just take me anywhere
Take me anywhere
Anywhere away with you (Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere)
Just take me anywhere
Take me anywhere (Oh take me anywhere, now)
Anywhere away with you (Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere)

Fun, little less, fun
Little less
Over-over-over-over
Anywhere away with you
Oh

NO. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. RITA NOW SITS ALONGSIDE LEGENDARY COMPANY WHEN IT COMES TO CHART FEATS.

On Friday, Rita's latest single 'For You' soared into the UK Top 10. In doing so, it's become Rita's 12th UK Top 10 hit and helped her match Shirley and Petula's previously unmatched record. There's really no denying Rita's relevance in pop culture today.

'For You' now joins the likes of Rita's other massive hits including: 'I Will Never Let You Down', 'Your Song' and 'Anywhere'.

We couldn't be happier for the 'How We Do (Party)' singer. There's no question that she deserves this after all her work.

Rita is currently in the process of finalising her highly anticipated second studio album. As it stands, it is unclear as to whether 'For You' will feature on the LP but both 'Your Song' and 'Anywhere' are part of the upcoming project. We can't wait to hear it.

The new record will also feature Rita's next single 'Girls' that's rumoured to star: Bebe Rexha, Charli XCX and Cardi B.

Rita first performed the song with RAYE and Charli last summer and we've been dying for her to release it since.

Fingers crossed that it's out soon. We have no doubt that it will become Rita's record-breaking 13th UK Top hit.
