Rita Ora is back.
On Thursday night, the 27-year-old British singer delivered her empowerment anthem titled âGirls.â The record has been the subject of several rumors during the past few months, with many fans theorizing which female artists would appear on the track.
Well, last week, Ora finally confirmed the âGirlsâ all-star lineup: Cardi B, Charli XCX, and Bebe Rexha.
The catchy record is a celebration of female sexuality, with lyrics that nod to Katy Perryâs 2008 breakout single âI Kissed a Girlâ and Cyndi Lauperâs 1983 hit âGirls Just Want to Have Fun.â
Cardi raps:
Now I could be your lipstick just for one night
Girls just wanna have fun, they have their funds right
I mean, say my name, say my name, say my name
It tastes good just running up your tongue, right?
IÂ put this smack on your lips all so pucker upÂ
We ain't never heard of you 'cause you ain't gun enoughÂ
Ora spoke about the track during a 2017 interview with ChartShowTV. At the time of the sitdown, Cardiâs cameo had not been revealed.
âI look at, you know, waking up and see whatâs been outâwhen I was putting my record outâand thereâs just some amazing new artists that have come out since I put out ORA, that Iâve been obsessed with. [âŠ] I just gathered all the girls that I thought were just, like, cool vibes. Itâs always about the vibe and the energy and the connection. And, âGirlsâ is one of my exciting songs, which I canât wait for people to hear [âŠ] Itâs my way of showing love to the girls in this industry.â
You can listen to âGirlsâ now on Apple Music/iTunes and via Spotify below.
