With her distinctive, and some would say, atypical TV talent show vocal style and voice, she finished 4th in the show, losing out to JLS and Alexandra Burke. The singer, however, was given the best deal when she refused to sign to Simon Cowell's label, Syco, and instead signed to RCA Records where she sat aside artists like Alicia Keys and Avril Lavigne. She has since parted company with her label, claiming via her official Tumblr blog that this was by mutual consent and for purely creative reasons. As of February 2012, Vickers has released two promotional singles, Music to Make Boys Cry and Kiss Of a Bullet for free download, and given a clip of another song Boy In Paris to fans via Soundcloud. In April 2013, it was publicly announced that Vickers had signed a new worldwide record deal with So Recordings. On 9 April 2013, it was confirmed that the lead single to Vickers' second album is titled "Cinderella" and is expected to be released on 21 July 2013 in the United Kingdom. Vickers' second album titled, Music To Make Boys Cry follows in Autumn 2013.

Diana's debut single, Once, was released on April 19th 2010 and went straight to number one in the UK. Her debut album, Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree, was released on April 26th 2010. She co-wrote the record with artists such as Nerina Pallot, Ellie Goulding, Patrick Wolf and Lightspeed Champion. Vickers went on to release a second single on July 19th 2010 - The Boy Who Murdered Love - which peaked at number thirty-six in the UK.

Chasing You
Diana Vickers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see myself running
Around your wandering eyes, again
I wonder if you see me
With someone else I could never be

And I'm trying to find the moment I can ask you how you feel
And I'm trying to make this dream I had with you a little more real

Chasing you into the dark
Chasing you with all my heart
Don't turn around, don't let me down
You're more than I compare
You're everywhere
You're everywhere

I don't think you were with me
Holding me in your arms again
I lost myself in your presence
I lost myself in your everything

And I'm fighting past the fear of you pretending not to care
And I'm trying not to understand the need to have you here

Chasing you into the dark
Chasing you with all my heart
Don't turn around, don't let me down
You're more than I compare
You're everywhere
You're everywhere

There's nothing more that I can do
And Nothing I can say
I can't change my mind
And this feeling won't go away

Chasing you into the dark
Chasing you with all my heart
Don't turn around, don't let me down
Be here, be now, be every how
Chasing you into the dark
Chasing you with all my heart
You're ruling me, consuming me
You're everything to me

You're everywhere

You're everywhere
You're everywhere

Line by Line Meaning

I see myself running
I picture myself chasing, trying to catch up to you

Around your wandering eyes, again
I try to get your attention even though you are easily distracted

I wonder if you see me
I question whether or not you notice me

With someone else I could never be
I know I cannot be with anyone else but you

And I'm trying to find the moment I can ask you how you feel
I am searching for the right time to ask you about your emotions

And I'm trying to make this dream I had with you a little more real
I am making an effort to turn the fantasy I have with you into reality

Chasing you into the dark
I am pursuing you no matter the circumstances

Chasing you with all my heart
I am making an effort with all my strength and emotions

Don't turn around, don't let me down
Don't ignore me and disappoint me

You're more than I compare
You are greater than anyone or anything else

You're everywhere
You are constantly on my mind

I don't think you were with me
I am unsure if you were really there with me

Holding me in your arms again
Embracing me lovingly like you used to

I lost myself in your presence
I became so absorbed in being near you

I lost myself in your everything
I was completely captivated by everything about you

And I'm fighting past the fear of you pretending not to care
I am struggling to overcome the fear that you are just pretending to not care

And I'm trying not to understand the need to have you here
I am attempting to ignore my longing for you in my life

There's nothing more that I can do
I have done everything in my power to change the situation

And Nothing I can say
I cannot express my feelings in words

I can't change my mind
I cannot convince myself to feel differently

And this feeling won't go away
The emotions I have for you persist

Be here, be now, be every how
I want you to be present, in this moment, in every way possible

You're ruling me, consuming me
You have power over me, taking over my thoughts and actions

You're everything to me
You mean everything to me

You're everywhere
You are constantly on my mind
