Rita Ora announces new single 'Poison'...

Throws some serious shade at ex...
When speaking about new single 'Poison,' Rita Ora previously told Clash magazine, “This is about my bad luck with love.” 

In the song, she compares her ex-boyfriend to the devil. It is believed the song serves as a personal attack on Calvin Harris who boycotted her album several months ago. He took back all the songs he wrote for the project and then banned her from performing their hit single 'I Will Never Let You Down.'

In the end, she had to delay the album and go back into the studio to record new songs. The Scottish DJ is now openly dating Taylor Swift and well... we all know she's the Queen of revenge songs when it comes to break-ups. Therefore, this song may not be the only one Calvin needs to worry about should him and Taylor split on bad terms. Rita announced the single today and it hits UK radio stations next Monday (May 18th). 

The artwork is rather interesting. She channels a French femme fatale on the illustrated cover, and it came with a caption expressing her excitement to perform the track at this year’s summer festivals. I'm not feeling the snippet at all but I'm totally here for the lyrics. I love when a woman wipes the floor with an ex that did her wrong.
