After being signed, Ora recorded an album and wanted to release it, but her label advised against it and she started to work on other material for her debut album. She made a cameo appearance in Jay Z's video for " Young Forever" (2009). Ora signed a recording deal and a publishing deal with Roc Nation in December 2008, and was one of their first signees. Shortly after, Ora's management got in touch with the American label, Roc Nation, and told them about her. In 2008, she auditioned for Eurovision: Your Country Needs You on BBC One to be the British contestant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 and qualified, but later withdrew from the competition after a few episodes as she "did not feel ready" and thought "that challenge wasn't for her." Her manager, Sarah Stennett (who also worked with Ellie Goulding, Jessie J and Conor Maynard), later told HitQuarters that she reassured Ora that performing in Eurovision would hinder, rather than help her chances to make it as a solo artist. Ora began performing at open mic sessions around London and, occasionally, in her father's pub.
