The couple dated for a just over a year before separating in June 2014 and she claims cracks started to appear in the romance in the wake of the success of the single - written and produced by Calvin - which came out in March the same year.

Rita wonders whether things went sour between her and the superstar DJ - who is now dating Taylor Swift - because they mixed "business" with pleasure.

Discussing went wrong between the pop pair, Rita told the new issue of Britain's Marie Claire magazine, "There was a reason why I split up with him ... It was more of a thing where I was in awe. I was at that point in my relationship where I felt he could do no wrong.

"I thought he had my back and that he'd never steer me wrong. But then I Will Never Let You Down came out, and everything started to go a bit weird. I don't know if it was because business was mixed with personal or what."

The split was acrimonious at the time, with Calvin preventing Rita from performing I Will Never Let You Down at the Teen Choice Awards.

However, the 24-year-old beauty has no regrets about the end of their relationship, because she believes there's a reason for everything that happens in life.

She added, "There's a reason why I'm at this point in my life where I feel like I have so much musical freedom, and I don't have to explain myself to anybody."

Rita also confessed she is scared of being on her own and prefers to be in a relationship even though love often makes her feel "crazy".

Rita - who has also dated Rob Kardashian and Ricky Hill - shared, "I'm afraid of being alone. I'm not afraid to admit that, you know. I'm not embarrassed to admit that. I just hope it's not a never-ending cycle. Sometimes love just makes you feel crazy. And that feeling that we have as girls, just to have that feeling, even for five seconds, it's like crack. I mean, don't compare it to that, but you know what I mean. It's like comfort eating."

Rita's full interview is in the July issue of Marie Claire magazine, which is out on June 23.
