Amelia Lily was a contestant on The X Factor in 2011 and ended up finishing in 3rd place. Her chart career went exactly the sort of way you'd expect an X Factor contestants career to go.
She made her Top 40 debut in September 2012 with "You Bring Me Joy" which reached number 2. Then in February 2013 she just missed out on the Top 10 with her follow up single "Shut Up (and Give Me Whatever You Got)" which made number 11. Then came this, her 3rd and final Top 40 hit in May 2013.She did release one further single, but it failed to make the Top 40.
This was a time when drum & bass was enjoying chart success, the week prior to this charting Rudimental were at number one with "Waiting All Night". This record was a drum & bass record, her first two singles weren't. What it had in common with her first two singles though is they were all written by the Xenomania songwriting team who have written for the likes of Girls Aloud and Sugababes. Additional songwriting on this record comes from Wayne Hector who wrote many Westlife hits.
Whilst Wayne Hector has still been charting as a songwriter in recent years, Xenomania were approaching the end of their Top 40 hits as songwriters.
