[NEW] Listen to Rita Ora's Debut Single "Party & Bullsh*t"

Rita ora

With a U.K. number one hit and her big appearance on the Red Carpet at the Brit Awards earlier this week, things are finally moving full steam ahead for emerging pop sensation Rita Ora. Her debut LP has been three years in the making and now pop fans finally get to hear the record's very first single, entitled "Party & Bullsh*t." And based on the hooky, feel-good qualities of the song, "Party & Bullsh*t" is beyond doubt a serious contender to be this year's big summer anthem.

The track is a potent, radio-ready pop production that stays true to Ora's infectious exuberance that marks her delivery and performance. It's a song about running wild, being free and living in the moment, because "that's just how we do," Ora explains in the song, while telling tales about "tearing up the town" and "dancing in the dark" when the "sun sets on the avenue."

The song was produced by The Runners, and written by hitmakers Kelly Sheehan and Bonnie McKee. Pop fans among you will most certainly know McKee. She recently penned songs for Katy Perry ("Teenage Dream," "Last Friday Night," "California Gurls" and "Part Of Me") and Britney Spears ("Hold It Against Me," "Gasoline" and others). McKee, Sheehan and The Runners sure know how to craft a monster hit and this "Party & Bullsh*t" is a prime example of that.
