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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say I don't treat you right
I say that you're too uptight
Then we have a stupid fight
I don't mean to hurt you but I do
Break up, and then take you back
Boom boom, there's a heart attack
I don't mean to hurt you but I do
Be my buttercup, be my star
Beat it like a drum, beat it hard
Even though I'm out, in the night
Even though I'm wrong, just be mine
Be my lover boy, be my spark
Be my fire boy in the dark
Even though I'm out in the night
Even though I'm wrong, just be mine boy
Just be mine, just be mine, just be mine, just be mine, boy
I want you like
Sometimes, I'm a crazy chick
Do things that'll make you sick
But I get away with it
I don't mean to hurt you but I do
You say that that I make you wait
That's true 'cause I make you wait
Just one of the things you hate
I don't mean to hurt you but I do
Be my buttercup, be my star
Beat it like a drum, beat it hard
Even though I'm out, in the night
Even though I'm wrong, just be mine
Be my lover boy, be my spark
Be my fire boy in the dark
Even though I'm out in the night
Even though I'm wrong, just be mine boy
Just be mine, just be mine, just be mine, just be mine, boy
I want you like

I always messed up (I'm sorry)
Really mean it now (I'm sorry)
Just can't help myself (so naughty)
Uh uh uh, so naughty
I always messed up (I'm sorry)
Really mean it now (I'm sorry)
Just can't help myself (so naughty)
Uh uh uh, so
Oh
Boy
Oh just be mine
Oh, whoa
I want you like

The song "Just Be Mine" by Cher Lloyd is about a tumultuous relationship in which the singer and her partner have frequent arguments, break up and then get back together. Despite the disagreements and her own self-confessed flaws, the singer wants her partner to stay with her and be hers. This is evidenced by lines such as "Even though I'm wrong, just be mine," and "Be my lover boy, be my spark, be my fire boy in the dark." The verses illustrate the ups and downs of the relationship, with the singer admitting to sometimes being a "crazy chick" who does things that will make her partner sick. The chorus, on the other hand, is a plea for the partner to still stay with her, even though she may be out in the night doing the wrong things.
The lyrics of the song reveal a complicated and passionate romance in which both partners struggle to find a balance. Despite being argumentative and sometimes hurtful, the singer expresses her desire for her partner to stay with her and be hers. This reflects the universal human desire for love and companionship, even in the midst of difficulties.
