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.
Over the Moon
Cher Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doing my thing, doing my thing
I'm over the moon,
Just doing my thing, and I won't come down
I'm over the moon, no silver spoon in my milky way
When Simon told me I was trouble, all I said is okay
Now l-l-let me turn my swag on and step up the the plate
I've been chilling on a star, with my five star view
I wanna get so far, that I see you through
Reaching into the jar for a dream come true
[Chorus:]
I'm over the moon
Doing my thing, doing my thing
I'm over the moon,
Doing my thing, doing my thing
And I can't, get enough
Life is feeling so good, cause I keep moving up
I'm over the moon,
Doing my thing, and I won't come down
I'm over the moon, so watch your head cause I'm throwing rocks
It feels like Red Bull gave me wings and I can't be stopped
You see I rhyme like a beast, but I sing like a flower
I'm feeling tall, so tall like the Eiffel Tower
I've been chilling on a star, with my five star view
I wanna get so far, that I see you through
Reaching into the jar for a dream come true
[Chorus]
Floating in space
I love this place, ET says hey
My mind's so clear
This atmosphere, I got no fear
I've been chilling on a star with my five star view,
Reaching into the jar for a dream come true
I'm over the moon
Doing my thing, doing my thing
And I can't, get enough
Life is feeling so good, cause I keep moving up
I'm over the moon,
Doing my thing, and I won't come down
Keep moving on (and I won't come down)
I'm over, I'm over (and I won't come down)
I'm over the moon!
