RITA ORA has teamed up with British dance music legend Fat Boy Slim for a brand new single.
The pop beauty, 32, hit the studio with the DJ, whose real name is Norman Quentin Cook, to rework his iconic track Praise You.

The track, which is set for release next month, is called Praising You and features new verses from Rita Ora as well as the song’s famous chorus.
When it was initially released in 1999 Fatboy Slim’s Praise You topped the charts and was nominated at the 2000 Grammy’s for Best Dance Recording.
A source said: “Rita has always been a massive fan of so to get to work with him is a huge honour.
“The track is very much destined for the dancefloors and is a club banger.
“To rework such a classic hit will always divide music lovers but they both think they have done the original justice.”
Last month Rita released her comeback track You Only Love Me – a track about finding The One in her Hollywood director husband Taika Waititi.
The Sun broke the news last August that the showbiz couple had secretly tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in London.
Confirming the news last month, Rita told Heart Radio: “It was perfect. It was exactly, exactly how I wanted.
“It was nice and perfect. It is nice to keep some things just to myself sometimes it was nice and sweet… Sorry it’s not that interesting. One day I will throw a big party.”
She added: “I have definitely thought about taking his surname but I have worked very hard for this Ora name. I don’t know… I haven’t really decided yet.”

Despite initially failing to make an impact, You For Me is slowly but surely climbing the charts despite Radio 1 opting not to add it to any of their playlists.
Rita said of the song which includes voice notes from Taika: ” “I knew putting music out that was inspired by where I am at [in my life] – I knew the questions were going to come.
“I just thought I may as well put it in my music so this is the first time where the music does all the talking. It explains my love story which is on the album.”
The album, which is due out later this year and her first since 2018’s Phoenix, is said to be Rita’s most personal yet.
Unlike her first two albums, Rita has written or co-written every track – with the star previously likening the experience to a diary.
The Masked Singer Guesser told GQ Hype: “I never really committed to the songwriting as much with the first and second album as I have with this, but after a few weeks of getting into the groove of it, I realised I could really do this. I can stand and sing on the mic forever, but in understanding the world of songwriting I was getting a bit nervous, because it’s a very vulnerable and open album.
“It’s my love story, basically, to the world, but I wanted people to really connect to it.
“I love to sing about my feelings. I like to make music about my feelings. That’s where it should live.
“The music, for the first time, will explain the questions people are going to want to ask me.”
