Rita Ora Premieres New Song Grateful From Beyond the Lights Film

(Radio.com) Rita Ora has been quietly transitioning into a film staple. After making her acting debut in the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey, and contributing a song to its soundtrack, the U.K. singer and fashion darling has now lent her vocals to another film, the impending romantic drama Beyond the Lights, which follows a rising pop singer who goes through some hurdles.

Rita's addition to the soundtrack - "Grateful" - is an aspirational track about bouncing back after a broken heart. Rita keeps it vague and anthemic enough that it could apply to a relationship or job with lyrics like, "But I had to fall to rise above it all/ I'm grateful for the storm / Made me appreciate the sun / I'm grateful for the wrong one / Made me appreciate the right one / I'm grateful for the pain / For everything that made me brave."

It could also apply to her recent breakup with Calvin Harris, which has reportedly left her without a second album. While the pair were together, they collaborated on a bunch of songs for her next album. But after her breakup, Harris allegedly blocked Rita from releasing any of their collaborative music - including the lead single "I Will Never Let You Down."
