Rita started teasing her new single on Sunday 8th March with a video featuring Lewis and Rita, recorded backstage at Hits Live in Birmingham. In the video, Lewis explained that he wrote the song, but thought he couldn't sing it.
The 'Phoenix' singer followed up the video with a letter written, 'To my friends', in which she told her fans, 'The past year has felt like the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new and exciting one!'
She continued, 'I’m so excited to release my new single ‘How To Be Lonely’, a song that I’m very proud of. I’ve loved working with Lewis on this track and it’s been a lot of fun. He’s a great talent and a man of the moment and I really connected with the lyrics when he originally sent it to me.'
Continuing to tease, Rita, looking stunning with blue hair and a Wonder Woman style costume, has since shared a clip of her new song on TikTok.
After releasing her new song, Rita shared the audio on YouTube along with a clip on Twitter saying, 'IT’S HERE!!! #HOWTOBELONELY IS OUT NOW EVERYWHERE!! LISTEN NOW AND DROP ME AHigh voltage signhttp://rita.lnk.to/HTBL' (sic)
