Speaking to Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp about her 17th single as a lead artist, 'How To Be Lonely', Rita said "Well, it just naturally happened.

"This was actually really easy, because - obviously the industry's quite small - we see each other at events, and I was just like 'I love your songs; I love what you're doing."

According to the 'Ritual' singer, after praising Lewis Capaldi, the pair went out together for a few drinks and become friends before Lewis sent her the song, saying it suited her.

Rita Ora was eager to record the single as she claimed "it really hits exactly what [she's] going through".

Rita Ora has explained the importance of self-love in relation to 'How To Be Lonely', saying that everyone should consider spending time alone, and not being so concerned about finding a partner, as she's done.

"I actually think it's a beautiful thing, because it makes you a better person," she said about spending more time to care for herself, as opposed to looking for a boyfriend.
