Rita Ora has claimed that she almost gave up on her music career after a low period of several years.
I did have a long moment in my life for the past few years where I didnt know if it was possible to put out another album and I was really scared, she told the crowd at her album launch party at Notting Hill Arts Club in London on Saturday.
I thought, “Oh my God, shall I just give up and wrap it up?” Then I remembered something… I was like, “I dont know what else I can do”, she admitted.
I remember feeling really low and feeling that everything was over, she revealed.
The 27-year-old has had a tough old week as her launch came after she suffered a seriously awkward moment during the Macys Thanksgiving Parade when she was caught out lip-syncing on a float.

As the music for her single Let You Love Me began, Rita appeared unable to hear the track – resulting in her lip-syncing along to the song several seconds late.
Viewers from home absolutely roasted the popstar, much like their Thanksgiving turkeys, but Rita has defended herself – and even retail giant Macys has her back.
The stores official Twitter account explained: During todays NBC broadcast of the #MacysParade several recording artists experienced technical difficulties that negatively impacted their performance.
We apologise and want fans to know these issues were out of the artists control.

Rita quote-tweeted the post and added: Thank you and I appreciate the honesty and I hope everyone still had a great time!
While some stars, including Ella Mai, did sing live on the float, the majority of the performers in the parade lip-synced due to the scale and difficulties surrounding sound requirements – including John Legend, who rushed to Ritas defence.
