She was given her Pixie nickname by her mother early on and it stuck. Lott began singing early, too, starting in church and earning a scholarship to London's Italia Conti Academy of the Arts at age 11. Two years later, she made the transition to West End musicals, appearing in a revival of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and a BBC One production of The Sound of Music. All this was prelude to a run at the pop charts. Demos she cut made their way to Def Jam impresario L.A. Reid and he was eager to sign her to Island, but after a change of Lott's management she shifted to Mercury in the U.K. and Interscope in the U.S. Over the next couple of years, she worked on her debut and established her career by writing for other artists (most notably for Dutch X Factor winner Lisa Lois) and touring with the Saturdays. Finally, her debut single, "Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh)," appeared in June 2009 and it became a smash not only in the U.K. but throughout Europe. "Boys and Girls" was equally successful, setting the stage for release of Turn It Up in September of 2009. On its way to double-platinum certification in Britain, the third single "Cry Me Out" reached 12, "Gravity" peaked at 20, and the title track headed to 11.
In the wake of this success, Interscope planned on releasing Turn It Up in the U.S. but after "Boys and Girls" faded in 2010, the record never saw American release. A re-release of the debut called Turn It Up Louder did show up in the U.K., and it was a hit thanks to the single "Broken Arrow." Lott's second album, Young Foolish Happy, appeared in November 2011 and while it didn't replicate the success of her debut -- it only went gold -- it did have the number one single "All About Tonight" plus the Top Ten singles "What Do You Take Me For?" and "Kiss the Stars," which reached the charts in 2012. Lott spent most of 2013 working on a third album, a record that would take over a year to complete. Preceded by the number nine single "Nasty," the eponymous Pixie Lott appeared in the summer of 2014; it debuted at 15 on the U.K. charts. Later that year Lott appeared as a contestant on British TV show Strictly Come Dancing, and a greatest-hits album, Platinum Pixie, was set to appear in the fall.

So I keep calling heaven
Meant to be back home with you
My shining star, you got me
Miss like limbo inside me
Will you wait, I won't be long
I won't let, I won't keep anything
I'm telling the
Truth I'm promise you
I'll be there soon
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
These days grow long and weary
And it takes it's toll, I'm dreary
Smell your fragnance in the air
So close I'm weak and tired
Was lost but now I found it
Hear your voice get loud and keep
I won't let, I won't keep anything
Hold me back from you
I'm telling the
Truth I'm promise you
I'll be there soon
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
Coming home
And I'll be back before you wake
See I'll be back before you wake, darling
And I'll be back before you wake
When I'm near you I'm alive
When I feel your love I fly
What I need is you and I
I'll be there soon
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
I'm coming home to you
Coming home
Pixie Lott's "Coming Home" is a beautiful, heart-warming song about the longing for a loved one and the desire to be with them. The opening lines, "I want these streets an answer, so I keep calling heaven", convey a sense of desperation as the singer seeks answers and guidance from above. It's clear that the person they miss is their "shining star", and their absence has created a sense of emptiness ("miss like limbo inside me").
As the song progresses, the singer asserts their determination to be reunited with their loved one, promising that nothing will hold them back ("I won't let, I won't keep anything, hold me back from you"). The repetition of the chorus drives home this point, with its simple yet powerful statement of intent: "I'm coming home to you". It's worth noting that the last repetition of the chorus ("Coming home") is sung a cappella, as if to emphasize the conviction of the singer's words.
The second verse of the song deals with the toll that being apart from someone can take, with the singer describing the weariness and dreariness that results. However, the mention of the loved one's fragrance in the air and the sound of their voice serve as reminders of what awaits the singer upon their return. The song ends on a tender note, with the singer speaking directly to their loved one ("When I'm near you I'm alive, when I feel your love I fly"), reaffirming the importance of their relationship.
Overall, "Coming Home" is a beautiful love song that captures the emotions and determination of someone who cannot bear to be separated from their beloved. Its simple yet powerful lyrics and melody make it a standout track on Pixie Lott's album.
