Mostly, she sings directly to the camera with glittery tears streaming down her face. Toward the end, she is confronted by an alien and a campy, outer-space version of herself who land in a spaceship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis video explores abstractly the emotions one feels when going through a breakup,\u201d director Dave Meyers explained in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s anger, longing, comfort, retreat, falling and of course loneliness. Ultimately suggesting that this is a necessary healing process that leads to the reawakening of one\u2019s true self.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, it seems we are all trying to figure out how to find strength on our own,\u201d Ora added, referencing the many countries under total lockdown due to the quickly spreading coronavirus. \u201cMany of us are separated from those we care about and aren\u2019t used to being by ourselves. In a time when everything seems to be so uncertain, I hope this song brings comfort and connection to those who need it. We will get through this together. Stay home and stay safe, everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ora released her sophomore album&nbsp;<em>Phoenix&nbsp;<\/em>in 2018 and embarked on a tour soon after. In between releasing new music, she has made a name for herself onscreen. She appeared in the <em>Fifty Shades of Grey<\/em> film series, hosted&nbsp;<em>America\u2019s Next Top Model<\/em> briefly and has most recently served as a judge on the U.K. edition of <em>The Masked Singer<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3> Popular on Rolling Stone <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/rita-ora-how-to-be-lonely-new-video-973599\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rita Ora has learned \u201cHow to Be Lonely\u201d on her new song, and the accompanying video sees the singer explore all the stages of going through a breakup.
