The track is a high-profile dance-pop collaboration between Dutch DJ Tiësto , British producer Jonas Blue , and British singer Rita Ora , released on May 31, 2019. It is celebrated as a "summer anthem" that blends EDM energy with smooth, radio-friendly pop. The Collaboration and Sound

: The project began when Jonas Blue approached Tiësto with a "great idea" for a track. Tiësto was instantly drawn to its unique soundscape, which he noted was different from his previous releases.

: "Ritual" earned Platinum status in the UK, Canada, Norway, and Sweden, and achieved a Diamond certification in Poland for selling over 250,000 units.

: Jonas Blue infused the track with his signature elements, including "sunshine melodies," acoustic guitar layers, and rhythmic finger snaps. The final production features a deep house bassline and a progressive drop.

: Tiësto credited Ora’s performance for taking the track "to the next level". Her vocals on the song span from B3 to D5 , delivering sultry verses and a euphoric chorus that reviewers compared to the spiritual themes in Madonna's "Like A Prayer". Commercial and Critical Reception
