Rita Ora to release her most personal track yet dedicated a special someone in her life
RITA Ora is set to release her most personal track yet – a country infused track all about her mum, Vera.
The Let You Love Me singer has teamed up with Aussie musician, and husband of Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban for Shape Of Me.
On the song, out January 29, Rita sings: “”Yeah my mama got that heart, she said don’t let go of the parts that keep you younger.”
She later adds: “She said, don’t you worry, babe, you got my blood in your veins. I’ll be here to catch you when your world is just about to break.”
Rita’s mum works on the frontline in the NHS as a psychiatrist and mental health nurse.
The song originally appeared on Rita’s third album You and I but without Keith.
Taking to Instagram, Rita said: “Happy Birthday mum.
“We’ve been through everything together, you’ve always been such a beautiful inspiration in my life and in my music.
“I wanted to write a song about you for the longest time, so when Shape Of Me was written by me and the You & I writing squad for my album and released I was finally able to share so much that I’ve been feeling about you.
“It really became clear how much love you’ve shown me and how much you’ve taught me over the years.”
The Sun’s Bizarre column first told of the song earlier this month.
Talking about working with Keith, Rita said: “I really started to get to know his daughters and his wife and just seeing all the feminine presence.
“Shape Of Me is about my mum and I felt like, verbally, Keith would really resonate to that.
“It also has this country twang, so it made sense.”
