“I love you all so much so grateful for you all and living my dream every day! See you on tour!”

On her Instagram Story, the star shared an image of the record sleeve for the vinyl version of the track, and wrote: “Happy birthday to the track that changed my life!!! 7 years ago today.”

The post sent Ora’s legions of fans into a similarly nostalgic mood, as they reminisced about the first time they heard the hit.

“I still remember the first time I heard Hot Right Now. Instantly made me a fan,” one wrote.

“I can still remember partying so hard to this song. Nothing but love since then!” another added.

Others said that they were “proud” of how “far” the singer had come since her debut.
