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.

Hold tight, only just begun
All out, love the party gowns
We the only ones
Ready, go, go
Face down, wake up somewhere new
Space out, barely made it through
Whatever we do
Yeah, I'm with you
So, if you had enough
Dust your shoulders off
And we can kick it till the nights had enough of us
And if you didn't know
I should tell you so now you know
Don't matter what they say
'Cos we be killin' it, killin' it, killin' it
All the way, way
Okay, yeah we be killin' it
Killin' it, killin' it
All the way, way
Rewind where we started at
Playback all that we forgot
You, me, all the shit we got
Lovin' at the top
Ready, get hot
Wild hearts making all mistakes
Switched on but we never phase
Get down, we don't play it safe
Go out on the blaze
Live for the day
So, if you had enough
Dust your shoulders off
And we can kick it till the nights had enough of us
And if you didn't know
I should tell you so now you know
Don't matter what they say
'Cos we be killin' it, killin' it, killin' it
All the way, way

"Killin' It" by Cher Lloyd is a high-energy pop hit about having a good time with someone and not caring about other people's opinions. The verses describe a wild night out, where the singer and her friend/partner are going all out and not worrying about the consequences. The chorus is a defiant statement that they don't care what anyone else says; they are having fun and "killin' it" (slang for doing something very well).
The second verse starts with a reflection on the relationship: they are remembering where they started and all the things they've gone through together. But the song returns to its party mood, with the singer celebrating making mistakes and taking risks. The bridge is a catchy call and response section, with the phrase "Shit, you wanna get with this?" emphasizing the fun and carefree attitude.
Overall, "Killin' It" is a song that encourages people to let loose and enjoy themselves without worrying about what others might think. It's a celebration of living in the moment and having fun with someone who shares that attitude.
