I liked "How We Do". I'm sure I'll like this.

"There's nothing wrong with an energetic love song. And also, it makes me happy."
True words, Rita. Listening to the song playing softly in the background, it seems likely she's coming with stronger material this time. Her next UK #1 is likely in the bag, but is her US team's commitment still there? Guess we'll find out soon enough.

This is produced by Calvin Harris. A different feel from him though.

Reminds me of Jessie J for some reason. Sounds nice, can't wait to hear it in full.

I prefer this to everything she's released before. It's great that she's got a single where her voice isn't fighting against the arrangement.

It's fine, I guess, if a bit generic - that being said, it would have been the ideal single to lead Jessie J's most recent album campaign. The chorus is giving me How Will I Know teas. It'll be a hit in the UK but I can't see it doing anything in North America.

Nothing groundbreaking but who would expect that from a Rita Ora song? This fulfills its purpose efficiently and effectively- it's some fun radio music with a melody that's instantly hummable.

Catchy song but doesn't feel like a Calvin Harris production at all. Good filler music for what it is althrough.

Catchy song but doesn't feel like a Calvin Harris production at all. My ears hear a bassline that sounds nearly identical to "Let's Go" f/ Ne-Yo.

I actually like this! Not as much as Radioactive, but it may be my 2nd fav song of hers now.

I was actually thinking to myself "well you just did" based on the preview a few days ago, but this is actually quite adorable and infectious.

The song itself isn't bad; Calvin's given store brand Rihanna a nice hook. But that video has no idea what it wants to be.

I like this song. It has potential to do better than her previous attempts in the US (Radioactive, RIP, HWD) but I still am in love with all of her previous attempts more than I am with this. I'll give time for this to grow on me though.
But...that video is just horrendous. What the hell was her team thinking when they decided to put this out?!

Its like a weaker Rihanna song and video. She's too close to being the same as Rihanna and not really offering up anything as good as Rihanna or better than Rihanna. Sorry, Rihta.

I liked this song on first listen. nice, easy pop record. nothing crazy production-wise or anything, but solid effort. could possibly be her breakthrough hit in the U.S.

This song/video scream Jessie J and does nothing to help her find an identity as an artist. Idk maybe it's because I don't like her personality; if there's any that is. I just think she's a money-hungry ho who doesn't give a fuck about music. At least Rihanna doesn't lie and is edgy. Rita is as interesting as a white chalk eventhough Radioactive was one of my favorite songs of 2012 and I find her voice to be good enough to be able to record some catchy pop tunes.
