Wikipedia article"'How to Be Lonely'" is a song by British singer Rita Ora, released as a single through Atlantic Records UK on 13 March 2020. Composition"How to Be Lonely" is a mid-tempo ballad that deals with themes about "battling insecurity". Critical receptionMike Wass of 'Idolator' wrote that the song is a "nice way to kick off an era" that "does showcase the 'Anywhere' singer's powerful pipes and growth as an artist". Rob Copsey of the Official Charts Company wrote that the song features "opening guitar strums[,] Coldplay-sized chantalong chorus [and] catchy finger snaps, punchy electronic beats and some killer adlibs", concluding that Ora's "take on ugly crying powerhouse pop is masterfully done". Music videoIn the music video, Ora is in an empty room alone and then alone with a lot of people. An arrow hits her. In the next scene, she is walking in a room filled with eggshells. Then, she is dancing with a skeleton and a bear hugs her. After that, she falls into the sky. Then she smashes a wall with a baseball bat. A UFO lands. Live performancesOra performed the song live at BBC's Sport Relief 2020 telethon on 13 March.
