First, Charli XCX teamed up with Iggy Azalea for "Fancy," and then Rita Ora joined the Aussie rapper for "Black Widow." But working together with Azalea isn't the only thing the two pop stars have in common anymore. Yes, they've teamed up for a new U.K. single, in a move that makes total sense. Today (Jan. 8), XCX released a new version of her Sucker track "Doing It," featuring none other than Ora.
"Doing It" originally appears as a solo track on the American version of Sucker, but ahead of the release of the album overseas, it's been reworked to add backing vocals and a new chorus courtesy of Ora.

The bones of the song remain very much the same, with XCX's sexual snark and sweet vocals remaining over the majority of the crawling, glitzy beat.
But, the second verse finds Ora taking charge, adding her own powerhouse vocals to balance out XCX.
"Friends like a team in a circle / We're together, we're so alive, yeah together we're so alive / Joy like a jewel, let it sparkle / Know that I got your back for life, yeah, I got your back for life," Ora sings, blending in perfectly to XCX's style while still maintaining her own personality.
The song, while obviously available for American audiences, will be promoted exclusively in the U.K. and included on British versions of Sucker.
