Background and composition
Prior to its release, Ora started to tease "I Will Never Let You Down" in mid-March 2014, uploading the single's cover art and a preview of the music video.[2][3] The song was written by Scottish disc jockey Calvin Harris and intended for her second studio album.[4][5][6] Produced and written by him, Harris explained that the song was reminiscent of American singer Whitney Houston and singer Pink.[1][5][7] Ora further stated, "I'm in a very good place and I really wanted people to see how I felt and how I want other people to feel when they listen to it – happy!"[5] The album was scheduled to be released in the summer of 2014 but was postponed.[6][8] In her 2015 lawsuit against Roc Nation, Ora stated that the record label had delayed her second album.[9][10][11]
"I Will Never Let You Down" was released as a single for digital download and streaming by Columbia and Roc Nation on 31 March 2014.[12] Ora's vocals in the song span from a low note of B3 to a high note of E5.[13] It was composed in 4 4 time and the key of E major with a tempo of 128 beats per minute and a chord progression of E–B–Cm-Gm-A.[13] Musically, "I Will Never Let You Down" is an upbeat 80's-sounding poplove song,[14][15] incorporating a dance production and EDM elements.[6][16] The song begins with an intro utilising guitars and synths as well as hip hop beats, which progresses into a disco and dance-described party.[17] Featuring an empowering and optimistic message, Ora lyrically promises her love interest that she will never let him down even when he feels like giving up.[18] On the chorus, she sings, "When you're feeling low on love / I'll be what you're dreaming of / Oh, oh, I will never let you down."[16]
Reception
Upon release, "I Will Never Let You Down" was met with critical acclaim from music critics. Writing for Teen Vogue, Phillip Picardi proclaimed the song as "the feel-good anthem you need to cure your Monday blues", while Casey Lewis of the same magazine felt that "[it] is one of those tracks that makes an enormous head-bobbin', toe-tappin' impression just a few seconds in, and then halfway through you already can't wait to start it over again".[19][20] While Devin from Rap-Up characterised the song as "uplifting", Matthew Anness for Urbanology named the song as "radio-friendly".[21][22] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard complimented the song as a "stylish spring jam", labelling it a "contented grin of a single".[6] Lindsey Weber from Vulture commended the song as "extremely catchy", writing that one should "beware of [an] earworm".[23] Liza Darwin for Nylon elaborated, "if your Monday is in dire need of a dance party, then Rita Ora is here to help."[24] Kelsey McKinney of Vox stated that "it showcases her voice better and gives a slower take on her skills between ['How We Do (Party)' 2012] and ['Black Widow' 2014]".[25]Renowned for Sound's David Whiteway further highlighted the collaboration between Ora and Harris, concluding that "[she] isn't shying away from that fact that she has and intends to continue to develop [...] Ora has definitely found clarity and direction."[17]
The music video for "I Will Never Let You Down" was uploaded to Ora's official YouTube channel on 31 March 2014.[5][50] Behind-the-scenes footage from various stages of filming the video was published on the platform on 16 April.[51] Taking place in Los Angeles, the three-minute and 27-second video was directed by Italian director Francesco Carrozzini and displays several sequences of Ora, alternating between black-and-white and color segments.[50][52][53] The attires worn by the singer in the video included designs by Adidas, Chanel, Hervé Leger and Moschino.[54] The video opens with a sequence of a camera panning over several black-and-white photographs of Ora in a vessel filled with water.[50][54] The camera then focuses on one of the photographs, which starts to transform into an animated picture, displaying the singer singing in a darkly lit surrounding.[50] Next, a close-up segment shows her in an outdoor-setting walking and dancing in the camera's direction, before being accompanied by two backup dancers Polly and Sophie Duniam.[50] Both black-and-white and colorful sequences of Ora are interspersed throughout the video, with her dancing in the aforementioned settings, in front of a pink setting and in a bright hallway.[50]
Edwin Oritz from Complex labeled the video as "sweet and sexy", writing that "[it] show[s] off [Ora's] playful side".[53] Christina Garibaldi for MTV noted the video's '80s theme, feeling "like a high-fashion photo shoot as it fully encompasses the fun vibe of the song".[55] Marissa G. Muller of the latter publication commended Ora's "killer" clothes, commenting: "We're left wanting to see more, which—hey—is the mark of a great video."[54] Lewis from Teen Vogue described the video as a "masterpiece on its own", applauding the singer's appearance and fashion as a "'90s extravagance".[20] Lipshutz for Billboard likewise praised her presence in the video, adding that "[it] re-imagines the carefree rabble-rouser from the 'How We Do (Party)' clip as an elegant model".[6]
