Drinkin'
Songfacts®:
- Here, Joel Corry teams up with American DJ MK and British singer-songwriter Rita Ora. It marks the first collaboration between the artists.
- Rita Ora belts out a tale of a wild night of drinking, with boozy, deep convos with strangers, snapshots of forgotten faces, and waking up in someone else's kitchen. With her head still spinning, Ora has no regrets – she's ready to hit rewind and do it all over again.
- Joel Corry, Mk and Rita Ora wrote "Drinkin'" with Sam Harper, Jon Shave and Neave Applebaum. Sam Harper also sings the backing vocals and Shave and Applebaum helped Corry and MK produce the track.
- "Drinkin'" samples the hook of Chance the Rapper's 2016 track "All Night." Consequently, that song's writers, Chance the Rapper, Kevin Rhomberg, Kaytranada and Nico Segal also get credited.
