I was really inspired by that.
It comes from wanting to push boundaries, RAYE says of fearless writing style.
I love music thats on the radio, but I wanted to make pop music my own way.
I had so much fun trying to break the rules.
Roc Nation reached out and said they wanted me to write for her project.
Shes also beenworking with Ellie Goulding(Shes such a sweetheart) and recently wrote a song forLittle Mix.
Their people really really love [the track], RAYE says.
Fingers crossed its going to be the next single, but you never know.
