Rita Ora wants to collaborate with Zayn Malik after success of his hit with Taylor Swift
Hot Right Now songstress Rita has the former One Direction star firmly in her sights
RITA Ora has revealed she wants to make music with Zayn Malik after seeing the success of his hit song with Taylor Swift.
Zayn recorded I Don’t Want To Live Forever with Taylor for the upcoming soundtrack for Fifty Shades Darker and now Rita wants in on the action.
Rita, who’s currently working on her second studio album, said: “I would collaborate with Zayn, he's a really great guy.
“He's in the same family, we share management. I'm very happy for him. And I love his new song on the Fifty Shades soundtrack.”
It seems the Hot Right Now star already has some surprise collaborations lined up however.
Speaking to The Daily Star, she teased: “The collaborations on my new album are definitely surprising.
“They're all London-based. I worked with everyone I wanted to work with on this album. I've written everything myself.”
Should Rita want to snare Zayn, it’s best she tries to befriend his girlfriend Gigi Hadid first, as she’s the one who made his collaboration with Taylor happen.

Zayn explained: “The interesting thing was [Taylor] is friends with Gi, so she already reached out after hearing it because [producer] Jack [Antonoff] had just played her the song anyway and she went in the studio the next day to record it.
“She mentioned to me that she liked the song and I already kind of knew in the back of my head that she liked it.”
Straight after the sizzling song was released it raced up the chart to number one, and Zayn has now hinted that there might be a video featuring him and Taylor.
But just because they wrote the song doesn’t mean he’s seen the first film or read the book.
Zayn then broke down into fits of knowing laughter, which seemed to say more than words ever could.
Once he had calmed down, he simply said: “I like that,” before changing the subject.
While on the topic of his Gigi whose relationship was confirmed in February this year, the singer played it coy when asked how he “landed” her.
“I don’t know, I think you’ll have to ask her,” he said.
He then made out that charming the supermodel over was simple: “I just asked her, it was pretty straight up, I just asked her if she wanted to go on a date. I was in New York.”
However as the interviewer tried to delve deeper and learn whether they met at “an event or something”, Zayn remained tight lipped.
“Yeah kind of, yeah… A gentleman never tells the full details, but we met and we spoke and we went on a date.”
