The For You singer/songwriter candidly discussed the challenges of dealing with her public relationships being constantly analyzed by the media and the fans. Regarding the scrutiny she faces, Ora emphasized that she is affected when her “loved ones or those closest to me are reading something and it doesn’t sit right with them, it kind of hits me.”

The 32-year-old singer further expressed her frustration with the double standard, pointing out that men’s romantic history doesn’t seem to be as intensely scrutinized in the same way. She said, “You can’t control what people think of you, especially when you’re in the public eye, but I’m waiting for a man to be dissected for all the girlfriends he’s had.”
