      Rita Sahatçiu Ora(born Rita Sahatçiu; 26 November 1990) is a British singer, songwriter and actress. She rose to prominence in February 2012 when she featured on DJ Fresh's single, "Hot Right Now", which reached number one in the UK. Her debut studio album, Ora, released in August 2012, debuted at number one in the United Kingdom. The album contained the UK number-one singles, "R.I.P." and "How We Do (Party)". Ora was the artist with the most number-one singles on the UK Singles Chart in 2012, with three singles reaching the top position.

        Ora's second studio album, Phoenix, was released in November 2018. The lead single, "Your Song", reached the UK top ten, and the subsequent singles, "Anywhere" and "Let You Love Me", reached the top five in the UK. "Let You Love Me" made Ora the first British female solo artist to have thirteen top ten songs in the United Kingdom.

           "For You" is a song recorded by British singers Liam Payne and Rita Ora, for the soundtrack to the film Fifty Shades Freed(2018). It was released on 5 January 2018 through Universal Studios and Republic Records as the lead single from the soundtrack. The music video was released on 26 January 2018. The song was also included on Ora's second studio album, Phoenix(2018) and Payne's debut studio album, LP1(2019).

        "For You" reached the top ten in the United Kingdom, France, Norway, Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, Poland and Belgium, and peaked at number one in Germany.

       On 20 December 2017, both artists posted a promotional shot on social media of themselves standing together, dressed up to the nines, along with the hashtag "#FiftyShadesFreed". The picture started speculation on a possible collaboration between the two for the upcoming film Fifty Shades Freed, in which Ora appears. A day after, the pair released the first teaser of the song on social media. On 3 January 2018, they revealed the song's release date and released the second teaser, a video showing the studio session in which they recorded the song.

In your eyes, I'm alive

Inside, you're beautiful

Something so unusual

In your eyes

I know I'm home (Yeah)

 

Every tear, every fear

Gone with the thought of you

Changing what I thought I knew

I'll be yours for a thousand lives (Yeah)

 

I'm free as a bird

When I'm flying in your cage

I'm diving in deep

And I'm riding with no brakes

And I'm bleeding in love

You're swimming in my veins

You got me now

 

Been waiting for a lifetime for you

Been breaking for a lifetime for you

Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you

Ooh na-na ayy yes

For love, 'til I found you (Oh, yeah)

 

Skin to skin

Breathe me in

Feel with your kiss on me

Lips are made of ecstasy

I'll be yours for a thousand lives

For a thousand lives

 

I'm free as a bird

When I'm flying in your cage (So gone)

I'm diving in deep

And I'm riding with no brakes (Oh no)

And I'm bleeding in love

You're swimming in my veins

You've got me now

 

Been waiting for a lifetime for you

Been breaking for a lifetime for you

Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you

Ooh na-na ayy yes

For love, 'til I found you, oh

 

Been waiting for a lifetime for you

Been breaking for a lifetime for you

I wasn't looking for love 'til I found you

Ooh na-na ayy yes

For love, 'til I found you (Oh)

Oh oh oh, yeah

I wa-wa-wasn't looking for love 'til I found you

Ooh Oh yeah

 

I'm free as a bird

When I'm flying in your cage

I'm diving in deep

And I'm riding with no brakes

I'm bleeding in love

You're swimming in my veins

You've got me now

 

Been waiting for a lifetime for you

Been breaking for a lifetime for you

I wasn't looking for love 'til I found you

Ooh na-na ayy yes

For love, 'til I found you, oh

 

You know that I-I-I

I wasn't looking for love

I don't know

I wasn't looking for love 'til I found you

Ooh na-na ayy yes

For love, 'til I found you, oh, oh, oh, oh

 

I wa-wa-wasn't looking for love 'til I found you

Ooh na-na ayy yes

For love, 'til I found you, oh.
