Rita Ora's new summer single 'Heat' was co-written with Troye Sivan
Rita Ora releases summer anthem 'Heat' ahead of World Pride performance, collaborating with producers and writers including Troye Sivan.
Rita Ora has released her new single 'Heat', coinciding with her performance at the World Pride Music Festival in Washington, D.C.
The track, produced by Peter Thomas, was co-written alongside Leland, Michael Matosic, and Troye Sivan. Thomas's previous work includes collaborations with P!nk, Selena Gomez, and Teddy Swims.
"Dropping 'Heat' on the same day as my World Pride performance feels like the perfect way to kick off summer — it's such a special moment for me and for my fans who have supported me over the years," Ora says. "I'm obsessed with this track, and honestly, I just wanted to have fun with it! It's bold, cheeky, and totally drenched in golden, feel-good energy. For me, it's all about celebrating freedom, joy, being unapologetically yourself and owning who you are!"
The accompanying music video, directed by Justin Daashuur Hopkins, was filmed in Miami Beach. The visuals draw inspiration from photographer Martin Parr's work, featuring technicolour tones throughout the beach-set production.
Ora previously performed 'Heat' during Kylie Minogue's Tension tour in Miami. She is scheduled to perform at Capital's Summertime Ball on 15th June in London.
