The music video for the song 'Girls' by Rita Ora is a mix of natural garden and high-tech realities. Featuring guest artists Cardi B, Bebe Rexha, and Charli XCX, the music video—like the song—is full of girls.

Ora took to Twitter to share the video, writing, "Ahhh it's finally out! #GIRLSvideo!!! Let me know what you think. Thanks for everything beautiful ladies @iamcardib @beberexha @charli_xcx"



Since the release of the single, the track has stirred up considerable controversy. The most contested lyric in the song is "Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls." Many commentators claimed this made it seem like women needed alcohol to be intimate with the same sex.

For example, Haley Kiyoko, an artist who identifies as queer, labeled it "tone deaf," saying the song, "belittles and invalidates the very pure feelings of an entire community," according to Complex.
