Rita Ora: 'I'm not trying to make any tear-jerking anthems, I'm not in a bad place'

Songstress Rita Ora has revealed that she's trying to steer away from writing soppy songs because she's in a good place and can't identify with that mood at the moment. 

Speaking to MTV News about her new material, the 'Shine Ya Light' beauty confessed that she is so happy that writing 'tear-jerking anthems' would just feel forced:

"Remember that vibe that Whitney gave you with 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody?' It's kind of like you release that energy almost. It's that eighties synth mix. I'm in a great place at the moment. I'm not trying to make any tear-jerking anthems. I'm not in a bad place."

Ora went on to add that working with boyfriend Calvin Harris on her new music has been really great and they've done a total of four songs together: 

"We actually did four songs together. We didn't plan it. It's not like a Cher and Sonny situation. We were both kind of talking about music and we just happened to hum together and a song came out, and we ended up doing four tracks on the record. It's probably the best decision I made working with him."
