During her time on X Factor, Lily performed numerous covers ranging from the Chris Cornell inspired Billie Jean (Live) (originally made famous by Michael Jackson) to the Queen classic The Show Must Go On (Live), usually receiving positive reviews from the judges. While she was the first girl to be eliminated from the live shows, Lily's popularity allowed her to be voted back into the competition. This interesting X Factor journey propelled Lily into the public conscious, even though she did not win the competition.
After Lily embarked on the X Factor Tour, it was announced that she had signed a £500,000 three-album record deal. In August 2012, she reveled that her debut album would feature an eclectic range of genres; "There's a bit of dubstep on there as well which I think will surprise people! The sound is all over the place but I think the record works because we've only included songs that I really connected with." In September 2012, she released her debut single, You Bring Me Joy, which reached number one on iTunes following its release, holding the top spot for 4 days and selling over 50,000 copies on its first week. Lily's second single, Shut Up (And Give Me Whatever You Got) was officially released in January 2013, peaking at number 9 on the mid-week charts and number 11 on the UK Singles Chart. The next month, she was announced to be the supporting act for Girls Aloud's arena tour, Ten: The Hits Tour, which she will participated in from February to March of that year. April 2013 saw the release of both the album Be a Fighter itself, as well as it's third single Party Over.

Amelia Lily Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shut up and give me whatever You got
I'm trying.
Oh yes my mind is playing tricks on me
It's the same as it's always been
Seeing things out the corner of my eye
Oh do waiting for a session and now we feel pressure
Oh do get some for the rest 'cause you'll never learn your lesson
You like it a lot
Shut Up And Give Me Whatever You Got
I'm tired of waiting
Baby can't you take it
Oh baby you're falling apart
Falling in love while I'm breaking your heart
Oh can't you take this crazy love darling
I'm trying.
Oh yes my heart is blowing hot and cold
Sending lightning into my soul
Seeing things out the corner of my eye
So are you gonna be my guy
Oh do waiting for a session and now we feel pressure
Oh do get some for the rest cause you'll never learn your lesson
You like it a lot
Shut Up And Give Me Whatever You Got

The lyrics of Amelia Lily's song "Shut Up" tell the story of someone who is trying to convince their lover to stop playing games and just give them whatever they've got. The singer is tired of waiting and wants their partner to take them seriously and commit to the relationship. However, the singer's mind is playing tricks on them, and they keep seeing things out of the corner of their eye, indicating a feeling of uncertainty and lack of trust. The lyrics imply that the singer's lover may not be entirely honest or faithful, as they need to learn their lesson and can never be trusted.
Despite the complicated nature of their relationship, the singer is willing to put in the effort to make things work. They are giving their all to try and make their lover committed to the relationship, taking the risk of falling in love while potentially breaking their heart. They urge their partner to take this "crazy love" and give them everything they've got. The song's poignant lyrics capture the angst and frustration of trying to make a relationship work, even when it's challenging.
