15 Surprising facts about Rita Ora (With Pictures)

8. She Wrote Her First Album Twice

Rita’s first album was a huge success, with two singles – ‘RIP’ and ‘How We Do (Party)’ – going to number one in the UK. But it almost never happened, as she actually wrote an entirely different album first time round. She went into the studio and wrote everything so quickly that it wasn’t up to the standard she wanted, and she ended up doing a second version that took three years in total to put together. It seems that putting in the extra effort and scrapping her first attempts really paid off well for the star, as it laid the foundations for her whole career.
