“I’ve had big gaps between my releases.” Cher begins, “so it’s really nice to give my fans a new song and I’m so excited to see what they think about it. You know, we are all indoors trying our best to stay positive and creative, so it makes sense to me to continue with what I love doing, and hopefully, my fans get that message of empowerment.” I spent a little bit of time thinking ‘is this the right time for me to release music with everything going on?’ and then I just realised that music is the only thing, apart from my family and friend, that is keeping me going right now, and I believe a lot of people feel that way. “Before all of this craziness happened, and before lockdown, we had planned for this video to come out. “I’m just so excited I can’t even begin to explain it,” Cher tells me. Speaking a week before the drop of ‘Lost’, we drive straight into the excitement of the new track as her legion of fans has been waiting patiently for this moment to come.

I just can’t believe it, but I genuinely feel so lucky right now.” My heart is with all the people on the frontline right now, and everyone being so negatively impacted by all of this. With ‘Lost’ being only the beginning, we sit down with the star to talk about growing up in the harsh UK spotlight, falling in love with the hardest parts of yourself and why you have to be lost to find yourself.Īfter we get through the now general ‘this is so crazy what are living through’ and checking in to see how each other is doing, Cher tells me, “As much as it’s unbelievable what we are living through, I’m just feeling super grateful right now to have a home with my family, and to have a garden, and to be able to continue doing what I love to do during this time. In charge of her own trajectory this time around, Cher Lloyd has been gearing up for this moment for a while. A mother herself now, Cher Lloyd’s biggest strength is undoubtedly her perseverance (amongst having bucketloads of talent). It’s easy to understand why – Cher Lloyd shot straight from being a teenager and into the homes of the UK public instantaneously, with the media trying to be her best friend and her enemy all at that same time. It’s clear that Cher has evolved into a strong young woman who is able to look beyond what other people want, or even expect of her, and choose what her heart tells her.

When she reflects on her past and looks to her future, there’s always a feeling of hope tying it all together. What’s interesting about the conversation is the underlying hope she has within her voice. When I speak with Cher over the phone, it’s hard not to immediately talk about isolation and COVID-19 – it would be weird not to. Every time I sing this song I feel empowered.” Everyone has found themselves in the same shoes – having the strength to move on and be bold enough to say that you’re doing great without that person. “You think I’d be lost without you, but I’ve got lots without you,” says it all. I had the most incredible time co-writing and recording this song and video. Speaking on ‘Lost’, Cher revealed, “I’m so excited to share my new single ‘Lost’ with everyone. Written by Raphaella, Casey Smith, Patrick Patrikios, Hanni Ibrahim, James Norton and Cher herself, the track is already a certified bop, and Cher Lloyd diehards are having a great Friday as they can escape the strange times we are existing in currently for a few minutes, to lose themselves in Cher’s new track which they have patiently waited for. With the release of her new single ‘Lost’ today, it appears to be only the beginning of a new chapter for Cher – ironically entitled ‘Lost’, it seems Cher is finding herself over and over again, consistently evolving and growing with each new challenge and hurdle thrown her way. The thing about underdogs though is that they always come out on top in the end, and that’s what Cher Lloyd is going to do. She always has been, and probably always will be – which she embraces fully. One thing has always remained true about Cher Lloyd – she’s an underdog. She has been embedded within UK culture for over a decade (yes really, a decade) since her polarising performances on The X Factor all those years ago in simpler times. Do ya, do ya, do ya know what I mean? I'm the princess, I don't wanna be the queen Please, don't say a thing, Mr.Cher Lloyd is an artist who certainly needs no introduction.
