It wouldn't be a proper Pride Month without Rita Ora!

With a plethora of hits like "Let You Love Me," "Your Song," "Ask & You Shall Receive," "I Will Never Let You Down," and many more, the star is pulling out all the stops for her upcoming performance at WorldPride Music Festival in Washington, D.C.

"I'm literally so excited! I have performed at a lot of Pride's in my career and I just have this forever responsibility to show up for my LGBTQIA+ community, especially the ones that have had my back since 2012," Ora tells PRIDE.

Ora will not only be singing her catalog of hits, but she'll also be performing her newest steamy banger "Heat" for the first time at the queer festival.

"I keep coming back! One thing about Rita Ora... she's not going anywhere! My queens have always said that to me. You're getting everything you want! I'm going to take you through a timeline of feeling good. It's definitely sexy. It's perfect for summer. I'm going back into my sexy girl era!"

The bisexual singer has really found her home within the LGBTQ+ community and knows that she's very fortunate to have gay fans streaming her music all over the world.

"Where else can I go? Wherever the queens are, I'm going. Could I get any more queenie and any more fabulous? If that's not saying enough, I don't know what will. This is where I belong! This is where I'm happiest, so I'll be there."

"Heat" drops this Friday on all platforms. To see the full interview with Rita Ora, check out the video at the top of the page.
