Rita Ora has marked seven years since the release of her hit Hot Right Now with a nostalgic Instagram post.
The singer shared a promotional still for the DJ Fresh track, for which she provided guest vocals in 2012, on her Instagram account.
The shot showed the 28-year-old posing in a pair of hot pants and a crop top as she carried a boom box over her shoulder.
“7 YEARS! Happy Birthday Hot Right Now!” Ora wrote in her caption. “This track changed my life and I’m so grateful for my fans who have been there with me since the beginning!
“I love you all so much so grateful for you all and living my dream every day! See you on tour!”
On her Instagram Story, the star shared an image of the record sleeve for the vinyl version of the track, and wrote: “Happy birthday to the track that changed my life!!! 7 years ago today.”
The post sent Ora’s legions of fans into a similarly nostalgic mood, as they reminisced about the first time they heard the hit.
“I still remember the first time I heard Hot Right Now. Instantly made me a fan,” one wrote.
“I can still remember partying so hard to this song. Nothing but love since then!” another added.
Others said that they were “proud” of how “far” the singer had come since her debut.
“Ora was one of the first albums I ever listened to, and it’s been so amazing to watch you progress,” one fan wrote.
“I remember hearing this and loving you from then. You’ve come so far, can’t wait to see you so soon,” another added.
Ora followed up the success of Hot Right Now with her debut album Ora, which was released in August 2012.
