Pop artist Rita Ora has come under fire recently for the way her new song Girls represents bisexuality. After fellow musicians and Twitter users the world over criticized the way it perpetuates stereotypical imagery, Ora posted her own defense of the song, saying it was based on real experiences from her life.
