Miscellaneous
Lloyd has performed on T4 on the Beach. She has also performed at the Leeds Aire FM Party in the Park and Key 103 Live Manchester, both on the day of release of her debut single.
She had auditioned for The X Factor twice before (when the minimum age was lower) singing ballads but it was only after reinventing herself in 2010 that she got through to see the judges. Lloyd has previously performed at holiday camps and said she gets a mixed reaction to her music. She auditioned singing the Keri Hilson version of Turn My Swag On. At bootcamp she sang a rap version of Viva La Vida adding lyrics she claimed to have written herself, but this was disputed and reports claimed she took them from a song by rapper Swizz Beatz.
At the judges' houses she performed Cooler Than Me but suffered a throat infection and was unable to complete her song. She was given a second chance, but broke down sobbing and could not complete the song. Despite this, she was picked as one of the final three girls by mentor Cole. Lloyd sang a rendition of Just Be Good to Me in the first of the live shows. In the second live show she sang "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)". In the fourth live show she sang "Stay" and did not rap for the first time. Cowell called the performance the best of the series. In the seventh week, Lloyd was in the bottom two for the first time after her rendition of "Imagine". Cowell, Cole and Walsh all saved her, resulting in Paije Richardson being eliminated.
Dub on the Track
Cher Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the kind - I'm the,
I'm the kinda girl to put dub on the track
I'm a, I'm a beast on the track
Lay a beat down
Put the vibe on the map
Try cut me up, try knock me down
But you ain't gonna take my crown
Try take me, take me off the map
You will never get why I can
From my mouth better than these feet, these feet
Why you gotta see there's a room for me
There's a room for me
There's a button up to the penthouse suite
I don't need all that
Rather be level headed than a one man [?]
Hold up a second bring it back
I'm the kinda girl to put dub on the track [x5]

The future of rap, righteous
You ain't gonna ask whose that
D-d-d-do you know we're already there
Are you mad?
Gotta track, got X Factor
Prepare the next chapter
