Rita sings: 'Sex on sight, anywhere you like. Inside or outside.'
Another X-rated line goes : 'Only one thing I need. Your heat on me.'
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Rita explained the song's not just about getting down and dirty.
'It's the need of it happening right now, in this moment,' Rita said.
'It's the idea that I want it on right now or I don't want to hear about it.
'It's that simple. I think that comes from the excitement of the song.
'I wanted it to feel instant and to have an impact.
Rita Ora looks incredible as she strips off to thong bikini to enjoy an ice lolly by the pool

Sony issuing refunds to PS5 owners over gaming blunder as players given ‘sincere apology' and promised urgent fix
The game has faced backlash since it launched PAY-STATION Sony issuing refunds to PS5 owners over gaming blunder as players given 'sincere apology' and promised urgent fix Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SONY has announced that it will be issuing refunds over a gaming blunder. The gaming giant had to issue an apology after gamers experienced significant problems with one if its new releases. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Sony has reportedly issued refunds after the developer wrote an apology Credit: Getty 2 Gamers have cited bugs and a slow frame rate as just some of the issues with the game Credit: Getty Players of Mindseye faced glitches galore when they tried to run the game which is available on PS5, PC and Xbox series X/S. The third-person shooter game was released on June 10, but TheGamer reported that Sony has already started handing out refunds. In the past, Sony has been reluctant to offer refunds unless a game is almost entirely unplayable. Gamers have reported recurring crashes and a sub-30 frames-per-second running rate. Developers of the game Build a Rocket Boy issued an apology after users complained about the issues they were facing. They also promised a "hotfix" to address the immediate performance problems. Build a Rocket Boy said in their statement: "A heartfelt thank you to all our day-one players. We know the launch of Mindseye hasn't been without its challenges for some of you. "Right now, our top priority is game performance. We understand that the requirements are high and have limited the experience for many of you, and for this, we sincerely apologise. "Improving performance across all devices is our immediate focus. A patch that begins our commitment to address this is scheduled for the end of this week on PC, which will also roll out to consoles as soon as possible." Even before the game's release it was already the subject of controversy, with Push Square giving it a 3 out of 10 review. The game is described on Stream as "a narrative driven, single-player action-adventure thriller set in the near-future fictional desert city of Redrock. "Featuring best-in class cinematics, high octane driving, and explosive combat from game director Leslie Benzies." Reviews so far have been mostly negative, with nearly 1500 reviews averaging out at 2.5 stars. One recent 2/10 review reads: "Mindseye isn't disappointing - disappointment implies expectations. This is a $60 crash course in how to wrap a hollow experience in cinematic lighting and misleading trailers." Another customer who had their purchase refunded wrote: "Absolutely horrible game." Even without the technical problems, gamers criticised it as a "boring" cash grab with "stupid" side missions. They did, however, praise the game for its immersive cutscenes, although for many this wasn't enough to redeem it. Others were more positive, with one writing: "I recommend it once all the bugs are fixed." Another wrote: "I really believe this game could turn around. The potential is there." Promotional Twitch content was postponed after the developer became aware of some of the bugs - with popular streamer CohhCarnage having his stream cancelled just as he was about to begin promoting the game. Others content creators that had been paid to promote the game clearly showed its many issues - with streamers trying to talk through the game while it crashed.

Legendary 90s band and huge chart topping pop star ‘revealed' for Glastonbury's ‘secret set' acts as bookies drop clues
The rumored acts are from opposite ends of the world and generations apart common royals Legendary 90s band and huge chart topping pop star 'revealed' for Glastonbury's 'secret set' acts as bookies drop clues Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BOOKMAKERS may have just helped add fuel to rumours of who the famous acts will be playing at this year's Glastonbury festival. Music fans have been speculating which big acts will make a surprise appearance as the major festival's opening night is just a few weeks away. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Bookies have shut down betting on Glasto's secret acts, with Pulp the runaway favourites Credit: Getty 5 Kiwi musician Lorde was also a favourite to take to the Pyramid Stage Credit: Getty Leading bookie William Hill has suspended its betting on the 'To Play a Secret Set at Glastonbury 2025' market after a run of money for acts Pulp and Lorde. William Hill reported sustained support for Britpop rockers Pulp who had shortened into 1/2 odds after starting at even-money. Another favourite was New Zealand singer Lorde who had been backed into even-money from 3/1, before the market was suspended. 'Punters appear to strongly fancy Pulp to make their first live appearance since 2013 at Glastonbury this year, and Jarvis Cocker's band was backed into 1/2 from even-money before betting was suspended," a spokesperson for William Hill said in a statement. 'Similarly, we saw a run of 'smart money' for Lorde, with the New Zealand singer shortening into even-money having opened at 3/1.' Pulp and Lorde are the latest names to be floated as potential secret acts just days after fans were convinced they worked out who would be playing. Some believed it would be crooner Ed Sheeran after the Glasto team released the schedule and punters saw a gap on the main Pyramid Stage which left them scratching their heads. However, on Reddit, some believe they may have cracked it –believing Ed Sheeran is adding the festival to his string of surprise appearances. "Ed sheeran for the TBA pyramid set. Been doing secret gigs all year and this fits," wrote one. The guitar-playing singer has been promoting his new album, Play, which is set for release in September. Fans slam Glastonbury as 'worst one ever' as full lineup announced As part of this, he has released a number of new songs - including lead track Azizam and Old Phone – to get fans excited. To kick off promotion of the album, Ed joined Jimmy Fallon to perform on New York's Subway in disguise, dressing up like an emo rocker. Glastonbury is never short of exciting surprises on the line-up, with another leaving fans convinced that HAIM will make an appearance on the Saturday of the festival. Glastonbury 2025 - rumoured acts THE Glastonbury line-up hasn't been confirmed - despite the fact tickets for the 2025 event sold out in minutes. Here are some rumoured acts. Basement Jaxx sparked speculation they will be playing at Worthy Fam after leaving a "Glastonbury shaped gap" in their latest tour schedule. It came after the hit duo announced their first live shows in 10 years - with gig-goers calling out a key "clue" in the order of their concert dates. Yet acts including Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Eminem are rumoured to be in the mix. Canadian songstress Alanis Morrisette and Simple Minds have also been tipped to take to the stage. The event will run from Wednesday, June 25 to Sunday June 29 for 2025. HAIM addressed the rumours during an interview on BBC Radio 2. The sister trio are set to release their fourth album 'I Quit' on June 20, just one week before Glastonbury kicks off and one week after the festival the group is playing a one-off UK show at Dreamland Margate. BBC Radio 2 host, Jo Whiley, pointed out to the sisters that they would be free on the Glasto weekend, Este Haim told her, 'Well, we're playing Margate.' Haim then teased listeners by saying they 'shall be in the area," when Glasto is on. It follows a similar mystery in 2023 when ChurnUps were revealed to be the Foo Fighters. This year's headliners include The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo, while the rest of the bill features big-name acts such as Charli XCX, Doechii, Rod Stewart, Loyle Carner, The Prodigy and Raye. 5 Pulp rose to fame in the 1990s with songs such as, Common People Credit: Getty 5 Lorde is releasing a new album on the same weekend as Glastonbury Credit: Getty

How to see your favourite musician for free: Meet the London DJ who ditched £60k a year sales job to bring the world's most famous artists to street gigs in the UK
A London-based DJ is giving Britons the chance to see some of the world's most loved artists for free. DJ AG, real name Ashley Gordon is quickly making a name for himself in the UK's music scene by inviting famous faces, including Will Smith, Ed Sheeran, and Rita Ora, to feature in surprise performances outside British landmarks, including London 's King's Cross. Fans and commuters have scrambled to watch the musicians perform alongside the 39-year-old DJ for free, often causing huge crowds to gather. He owes much of his fame to TikTok, where he multiplied his fanbase to one million followers by livestreaming his performances. With his impressive contacts book, internet stardom, and musical talent, most might assume that fame came naturally to DJ AG. However, his reality tells a much different story. For the past 12 years, he worked a £60,000-a-year manager job at an FTSE 250 sales company to provide for his family. But when bosses overlooked him for a promotion, his children urged him to pursue his DJ'ing side hustle on TikTok. Despite initially thinking the move was 'crazy', he gave it a go and quickly realised his potential. He told Metro, 'I was DJing at home, and then talked to my community, and I kind of tested it for a few months, and I realised that I could monetise and survive, so I effectively quit my job.' The decision was undeniably nerve-racking for his family, but they witnessed DJ AG's newfound sense of enjoyment that he was getting from his work, and they accepted the career shift. But it wasn't always so easy for him, and when he first started in the streets of the UK's capital in 2023, unimpressed viewers threw water at him and even egged his DJ decks. 'When I first started the walking DJ thing, I had people throw water at me, had kids throwing eggs at the equipment,' he told Dazed, 'Those moments made me question whether people would understand what I was doing, but I'm not a quitter.' The council also got involved in his performances, issuing him warnings and even an antisocial behaviour order in 2023 after he attracted a bigger-than-expected crowd in London's Shoreditch. His ASBO expired in January 2025. 'One day, I received a letter from Haringey council,' he told Time Out. 'On the basis that it was unsafe, for women in particular, which I found disgusting. 'I also had complaints about the noise and something about illegal trading. Oh, and I got an ASBO in Shoreditch, which they brought up.' Now, DJ AG has hordes of fans thankful for his determination to continue in the music scene, having given hundreds the chance to see some of the biggest names in the industry. Popular Grime artists Skepta and JME drew attention to DJ AG when they joined him outside London's busy King's Cross for a performance in October last year. This April, the DJ stunned commuters as he welcomed Jessie J for an impromptu performance outside King's Cross station on a Monday evening. The British pop star, 37, joined DJ AG behind his usual setup of decks outside the busy train station for one of his well-known London street performances. Then, in May, Ed Sheeran sent fans into a frenzy with a surprise street performance in Sheffield alongside DJ AG. The Shape of You popstar, 34, got behind the decks in the centre of the city for one of his signature performances live streamed on TikTok. The upbeat setlist included performances of Peru, You Need Me, I Don't Need You and a host of collaborations with Man Don't Care MC JME. Most recently, Rita Ora and Will Smith gathered a massive crowd as they performed with the DJ outside London's King's Cross station on Wednesday. Though he's attracted a string of famous faces, DJ AG also uses his platform to spotlight lesser-known artists. At the same time, he admirably takes a backseat when performing, allowing the attention to firmly remain on his accompanying guests, regardless of whether they're famous or not. He told Dazed, 'There'll be a time and a place for me to do a club event and show my mixing skills but, for me right now, it's about showcasing talent and seeing what we can do to help people.' Unlike many who experience a quick rise to fame, DJ AG has maintained a humble nature and is set on creating a positive impact, which sees him perform at care homes and streaming the show online. Elsewhere, he's striving to improve music education for children and aiding rehabilitation in UK's prisons. It's a set of morals that led the DJ to win Time Out's DJ of the Year in 2024, with the magazine commending his down-to-earth nature and ability to unite communities. The 39-year-old told the publication, 'For me, everything is done with humility and being grateful. 'So I'm grateful for this and everyone taking the time to bring it to life. And it's just nice that people believe in what I'm trying to do.'
