Rita Ora Opens Up; Admits She Thought Working with Calvin Harris is a ‘Bad Idea’

Rita Ora can now be considered to be at the peak of her career as her name, alongside her DJ boyfriend Calvin Harris, continuously graces the headlines.

Following her role as Mia Grey in the highly anticipated film adaptation of the E.L. James novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" and the release of her new single "I Will Never Let You Down," the 23-year-old British songstress has become a media and fan favourite.

But despite the positive response Ora is getting from the public, she also has had doubts, recently opening up in a new interview with The Mirror UK about her thoughts concerning her relationship with Calvin Harris.

The 'Fifty Shades' star confirms that she once thought working with Harris is a "bad idea" and her long distance relationship with him makes her "pretty sad," despite a report from The Sun saying the songstress is "smitten" with Harris.

"I thought it was a bad idea," Rita Ora told the publication. "I said, 'I don't know what's gonna happen, babe.' All that political s***, I didn't want to think about it."

"But when we started to write, it happened so naturally it felt right," Ora added, quickly clearing her statement.

Ora lives in the UK while Harris lives in the U.S. but the couple both reportedly still try to make time for each other.

"I'm not a fan of long distance relationships," the "I Will Never Let You Down" singer explained to the publication. "If you had a choice, you want that person with you. It makes me pretty sad. But you work with what you've got."

The "Fifty Shades of Grey" star confirmed that despite things that try to go between her and her DJ boyfriend, nothing can set them apart, and to prove that the couple is going steady, Rita Ora and Calvin Harris have worked together in the songstress' new album, which according to Capital FM includes writing and recording four songs.

Ora has also revealed that Calvin Harris has been an inspiration to her when she was writing her new single "I Will Never Let You Down," which made its debut on the UK charts at number one.
