Rita Sahatçiu Ora, born 26 November 1990 in Pristina, SFR Yugoslavia (now Kosovo), is a British singer, songwriter and actress of Kosovar Albanian descent. Her debut studio album, [m=466629] (2012), debuted at number one in the United Kingdom, and spawned the number-one singles [m=503123] and [m=461817]. After reaching the peak position as a featured act on DJ Fresh’s [m=410746], Ora became the artist with the most number-one singles on the UK Singles Chart in 2012.

In 2014, she released [m=692072], intended to be the lead single from her second studio album, scheduled to be released in 2015. However, in December 2015, Ora filed a lawsuit against [l286913], citing that the contract she signed in 2008 was unenforceable, due to California’s seven-year rule. Although Roc Nation filed a counter-lawsuit against Ora for breaking her recording contract, in January 2016, they reached a settlement in May 2016 and Ora was released from her contract.

In June 2016, she signed a record deal with Atlantic Records. The debut single from her second studio album, [m=1222934], was released on 26 May 2017.
