Composition and reception

"Ask & You Shall Receive" was written by Rachel Keen (Raye) and Oliver Peterhof (German), and produced by the latter. ^{[3] [4]} Raye sent Ora the song via email and Ora "loved it". ^[5] George Griffiths of the Official Charts Company wrote that the lyric "I've got this feeling that's refreshing my life" is sung by Ora "over a bouncy, funk bassline" and that the single "chugs along with a house-inspired beat, buoyed by its euphoric chorus". ^[6] According to Tayo Odutola of Earmilk, "Ask & You Shall Receive" is "bolstered by a prevalent bass-driven groove and rousing guitar licks that rise to a crescendo on the chorus". ^[4] Time Out 's Chiara Wilkinson described the single as an upbeat dance-pop song. ^[7]

Griffiths said that "Ask & You Shall Receive" is a "funky summer tune". ^[8] Odutola deemed it "a vibrant and uplifting jam". ^[4] Wonderland called the song an "infectious floor filler infused with summer vibes and carpe diem spirit". ^[9]

Music video

A music video directed by Dano Cerny was released alongside the single. The visual was shot in a 24-hour laundromat in Los Angeles and is inspired by a 1985 Levi's 501 commercial which featured singer Nick Kamen. In it, Ora "take[s] over" the establishment by smashing it with a bat and taking its money. Her husband, filmmaker Taika Waititi, appears in the music video as a laundromat attendant. According to Ora, the laundromat featured in the visual is the same one that appeared in the film Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). ^{[10] [11]}
