Songstress Rita Ora has revealed that her original plans to perform 'I Will Never Let You Down' at this past weekend's Teen Choice Awards were axed by her ex-boyfriend, Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, because he owns the rights to the song and the final decision was his. 

Speaking to Ryan Seacrest on KIIS-FM, the beauty admitted that because Harris owns the rights to the song, he had the final say in whether or not she could perform it at the ceremony and decided not to let her go ahead with the set:

"For anybody who doesn’t understand how it works, he wrote and produced the song. So he has to approve anything TV-wise for anybody who doesn’t get it. And obviously he owns the rights to it and he didn’t approve the Teen Choice Awards.”

When asked if she was at all surprised by his last minute decision not to give her the green light to sing the track, she added that she wasn't, but would have liked more notice about the disappointing change of plans:

"No, nuh-uh. I could have got told a few weeks earlier, you know. That would have been nice. It was a last minute change, but you know what, it happens and we move on and move forward… It is what it is, man. You know, you write a song with somebody, and I guess there’s some stuff that comes with it… Everything happens for a reason, that’s how I look at it.”
