For several years it was speculated that Ora’s second album was delaye dover the use of Calvin Harris’ tracks, as they dated briefly in 2013. However, on Monday, November 28th, Harris stated that the “Entire thing is a myth, there is one unreleased song i worked on and it isn’t good.”
In 2015, Ora addressed drama between herself and Harris explaining, “There was a reason why I split up with him. And there was a reason why I’m at this point in my life where I feel like I have so much musical freedom, and I don’t have to explain myself to anybody… It was more of a thing where I was in awe. I was at that point in my relationship where I felt he could do no wrong. I thought he had my back and that he’d never steer me wrong.” Adding that after the pair’s collaboration “I Will Never Let You Down” was released, “everything started to go a bit weird. I don’t know if it was because business was mixed with personal or what.”
Back in August of 2014, Ora had a scheduled performance of the song at Teen Choice Awards shut down due to behind the scenes issues between the two. Harris ultimately didn’t approve the rights to use the song on the show.
