*Rita Ora is headed to the Oscars.

The British singer-songwriter has been tapped to perform the Oscar-nominated song “Grateful” from “Beyond The Lights” during the ceremony. This is songwriter Diane Warren’s seventh nomination in the category.

“Grateful” will compete against “Glory” from Selma, as well as “Everything Is Awesome” from “The Lego Movie,” “I’m Not Gonna Miss You” from “Glen Campbell…I’ll Be Me” and “Lost Stars” from “Begin Again.”

Ora dominated the UK charts with her first and certified platinum album “Ora” (2012), which included the number one singles “R.I.P.,” “How We Do (Party)” and “Hot Right Now.” Currently featured on hit single “Black Widow,” with Iggy Azalea, Ora is preparing to drop her second full-length album this spring.

She will next appear on the big screen in “50 Shades of Grey” and Jake Gyllenhaal’s “Southpaw” to be released in July.

The 87th Oscars will air live on ABC on February 22.
