Rita Ora has hit back at criticism of her song 'Girls'.
The 27-year-old singer was heavily criticised for the steamy track, with Hayley Kiyoko - who is open about her own sexuality, and has the nickname 'Lesbian Jesus' - calling it "tone deaf" as the lyrics include references to drunkenly kissing other women.
But Rita told Billboard magazine: "This song is about liberation and freedom and empowerment and celebrating who you are.
"I think the narrative is shifting already. There's not one way to come out."
