We used to take bikes all over Paisley Park. It was amazing for me to be on this bike ride with him. “We hanged out a lot. We’ve always made music. He was the man about town. I am very, very lucky. It was one of the best experiences of my life.’ Later, Rita talks about being born in Kosovo and coming to the UK with her family.

The song is just me. It’s just me and my voice. It’s a very honest, real and authentic thing.’ Speaking about the duet with Charlotte Church, Luke said: “Charlotte Church – voice of an angel. I’ve known this girl since I was 10 and I was 16. I paid my own way for singing lessons and went to this little house with a roof.

He came up to me and said “What are you working on right now?” and I said “I just finished a movie about Vlad Țepeș turning into Dracula”. And he said “Just kidding, I’m related to Vlad Țepeș.” I thought he was joking! He passed down his lineage to Vlad.’ Later, Luke responds to rumors that he will be the next James Bond.
