Rita Ora has put her ''blood'' into her new album.

The 'I Will Never Let You Down' hitmaker - who recently dropped her new single 'Body On Me' with Chris Brown - has revealed she has worked incredibly hard on her new LP.

She told the MailOnline: ''So this album I wanna be the rockstar that I always was. I have to fight every day. I still have to grind.

''On this second album I've put my blood in it, literally. The album was my resurrection. I got myself together.

''I had amazing people around me. I went back to the drawing board and started writing with them.''

Meanwhile, the 24-year-old star previously revealed she would love to collaborate with former One Direction star Zayn Malik.

When asked if she'd like to hit the studio with the 21-year-old singer, she said: ''Well he does have the same color hair as my boyfriend. My man had it first. You know what, I respect people that work. You know I respect people that do their music. But I'm never gonna say no. You know I love music. It all depends on the song.''

Rita also opened up about collaborating with Ed Sheeran on her new album in a track called 'Us'.

She said: ''It's on my album. It's an amazing record. It's called 'Us' and it's a beautiful song.

''And it's something, it's a rare light shade of the record of me actually embracing a good time in my life of love. So it's that.''
