The 'Let You Love Me' hitmaker recalls how she felt "really down" when her music - which she refers to as her baby - was criticised online.
She told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I went through a phase where at the time I put out a song and people responded with 'what is this?' - it caused a lot of controversy and it made me question the power of the internet. Before that I only ever experienced one-off haters on pictures and things, but it never got under my skin. When it started to involve my music - which is my baby - I started to feel really insecure. It got me really down."
Meanwhile, Rita previously confessed she is finally getting "very confident" in her skin.
Speaking about her naked photoshoot for Clash magazine, she said: "I'm very confident in my skin. It took me a while to get to this point in my life. When I was younger, I was very conscious about me having, like, curves and being, like, a woman - I was, like, the first to mature in my class and I just felt really, like, shy. Now I'm at a point where I feel like I'm very confident in myself. It was very liberating. I did it more for me than for anyone else. I just feel like when I get, like, a little older and stuff, I'm gonna look back at it and be like, 'Wow, I like that I did that!'"
