She came to prominence in 2010 when she became the runner-up of the seventh series of British show "The X Factor" and was mentored by Cheryl Cole. Ferguson made it all the way to the finals where she dueted with her idol Christina Aguilera performing 'Beautiful'. Ferguson placed second behind winner Matt Cardle, and the same week was signed to Syco Music owned by Sony Music Entertainment. As Songfacts reports, her debut single, Nothing's Real But Love, was released in November 2011, a week before Ferguson's debut album, Heaven, was made available.
Ferguson is a qualified legal secretary, having studied at Hugh Baird College, Bootle. She has previously unsuccessfully auditioned for The X Factor and for P. Diddy's Starmaker in New York but in 2010 she got the chance she had been waiting for and got through to the audition process. She sang "A Change Is Gonna Come" during her initial audition. At her bootcamp audition, she sang "Like a Star" to which Cowell said "That is a recording voice!" and Nicole Scherzinger said, "I told you first time I saw her, she is our generation’s songbird." She sang "Fireflies" at the judges houses stage. For the first live show she sang "Teardrops", in the second live show she sang "Feeling Good" and in the third live show she sang "Why Don't You Do Right?". In the fifth live show, Ferguson received a standing ovation from Simon and Cheryl following her performance of "Make You Feel My Love". In the following episode, Ferguson received another standing ovation from Dannii and Cheryl after singing "Candle in the Wind".
Ferguson's second studio album, Freedom, was released in December 2013.
In 2015 Ferguson released her third studio album Lady Sings the Blues covering a number of jazz classics made famous by Billie Holiday.
She released the single "Uncrazy" on 1 December 2017, a dance song, which moves away from Ferguson's usual style of music.
On 8 May 2020, a single entitled "Nothing Left But Family", and featuring Nile Rodgers, was released.

Too Good to Lose
Rebecca Ferguson Lyrics
Hey when you get tired
When you’re waiting for a train
When nothing’s exciting you
I’m probably thinking about you then
Every time you cross my mind
You’re like a prayer, a precious sign, sign, sign, sign
Hear my prayer now
Just say the word and I could be there now
Oh I say my prayer now
Just give me time and I will be there now
Oh, you’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
Hey I lost my phone
It must have fallen out in the street
Maybe you called and I didn’t pick up
And if you wondered that’s all it means
All I touch and all I see
I give it up so freely
Hear my prayer now
Just say the word and I could be there now
Oh I say my prayer now
Just give me time and I will be there now
Hear my prayer now
Just say the word and I could be there now
Oh I say my prayer now
Just give me time and I will be there now
Oh, you’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
Oh, you’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
I’ll be there when you get lost,
When you need somebody,
Keep your name on my heart, because
Because
Hear my prayer now
Just give me time and I will be there now
Oh I say my prayer now
Just say the words and I will be there now
Oh, you’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
Oh, you’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose
You’re too good to lose

Can I just say how nice it is to see a female aritst wearing more than just a belt in a music video? She looks stunning, cracking voice too.
Loreal Madonna
Rebecca Ferguson looks absolutely exquisite in Red! She is my idea of perfect beautiful with a glow a flawless talent and very sweet down to her core. I am so happy that she has made it! She's the only R&B artist I actually love!

You know it's quite sad at the rate her career is going cause she's fantastic. Whoever decides wat singles should be released is doing a bad jobs of selecting songs of these albums. I mean...can u imagine a video of fighting Suspicion? Or Shoulder to shoulder?.....it's just fustrating.
Tony Powell
omg she is so damn good...what a voice!
Tsjaniqua Jeffrey
Anyone here in 2020 during quarantine to hear some real good music? Well I am and LOVING it just the same!
Stane Hering
