Will check this out for sure. Loved "Your Song" and really like her Avicii feature.

[Juan Carlos]

Out next week with the music video.

She told the following about the song:

"This single really represents the urge to break free from anything, which I think is very relevant to what we've been through this year as a city and a country."

[Elusive Chanteuse]

The song is out now in NZ and it's...really good, if not, one of her best singles. It should do very well worldwide.

Not sure if they plan to push it in the US at the moment because Lonely Together is being pushed.

[Khia]

I don't like it as much as "Your Song", but it's good. It'll probably grow on me. I don't see this breaking her in the US. Maybe she'll be able to get some traction with Lonely Together?

[Linnethia Monique]

She just needs to shift focus from the US because this is going to be HUGE worldwide except for here.

The US is trash, so..

Hello, Hi, Goodbye and Poison will remain the two best things she's ever done to my ears.

Yeah, I really like this. If it was released by anyone with actual career momentum stateside, it would smash.

[Dreams]

WaiTTTTTTTTTTTTT! This is actually good. An earworm even?? Color me surprised.

The only thing that's off to me is the ending which is hella abrupt. The song needed another repeat of the hook.

[Kologne]

Such a pleasant surprise, very good work
It's smash-worthy, but she doesn't have the stardom / appeal to do much outside the UK I guess?

[Ty]

I'm obsessed with this. Not as great as "Lonely Together" but it's good pop music.

[Deleted]

I really like this a lot, has potential to be a favorite from her as a whole
Very earworm chorus and hook 

[shayonce]

i really love this! more than your song.

[Gray.]

This is good! Between this, "Your Song", and "Lonely Together", I'm shook that I'm anticipating the release of a Rita Ora album.*

*If it actually gets released this time.

If someone told me even a month ago that I'd end up liking 3 Rita songs together more than 3 Taylor songs, I'd have hit them with a fish.

[divasummer]

I like this a lot after a couple of listens.
Parts of it are very breezy and pretty but it's still pretty danceable.

[Glove Slap]

[Dreams]

I'm still astonished at how great this is. I haven't listened to a pre-chorus as melodic as this one (which flows into an almost as huge melodically chorus) in years. What a killer dancepop song.

It's still soon to tell if this is going to be a hit, but one thing I do know is that had Rihanna released it, it'd be sitting at #1 on every country's iTunes chart right now.

[Leo ✔]

This is really great... I can't expect this turning into a hit in USA but at least in UK this should go top 5.

The US needs to step up their production value because that was great solo performance.

[Janhova's Witness]

Wow. Mother TeRita blesses us yet again. F*ck me up mama!

2017 in Pop is the year of Rita Ora and Dua Lipa. Let that sink in.

Also, LOL @ this being hyped as being premiered at the EMAs yet it has already been released, performed, and had a video released. What exactly is being premiered, sis?

[rickroller]

It smells an another not-US smash.

[JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME]

This is soooo good! It's probably one of the best new songs released this year. This somehow needs to be made huge here in the U.S. It just cannot be ignored. I love Rita's vocals and the production is so smooth and groovy.

[born]

This is kinda generic. Plus, it's a CARBON COPY of "It Ain't Me". Similar verse and the chorus with a kinda choir-y feel and then some vocal chops. Carbon copy.

But this is way better, and is free of Selener's deuce-dropping struggle vocals.

100% Agree with all of this. I’ve always considered Rita Ora to be extremely bland but this is one of the catchiest and genuinely hookiest songs I’ve heard in a good while and it doesn’t come across too cheesy, and she sounds great on it.

Just to clarify this (and I guess you already know this), "Lonely Together" is a song from Avicii, which Rita is doing the vocals. That said, the promotion is being handled by Interscope (Avicii's label) instead of Atlantic (Rita's label), so the latter could push this in the US.

I double checked the OP because I thought I wrote 'premiered' instead of 'performed', but I realized that it was from MTV UK with the 'will debut her brand new single' tweet.

Either way, she's hosting and performing there, so MTV needs to hype their show with this, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
