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.

You just ain't with me
A distance growin'
Oh how can this be
Departing slowly
And I don't know how to stop this win
From the way we're goin'
This love is fadin' away
Nobody knows but I know, yeah I know
They don't see it, but I feel it
Without you, I never will be as strong
Oh I need ya, oh I need ya
You're the definition
Of a life I would be missin', oh

Lately, I see
I have been noticing something lately
You just ain't with me
You have not been present with me
A distance growin'
The emotional gap between us is growing
Oh how can this be
I am saddened by this and do not understand how this is happening
Departing slowly
Our love is slowly fading away
And I don't know how to stop this win
I do not know how to stop this from happening
From the way we're goin'
Based on the direction that we are going in
This love is fadin' away
Our love is fading away
Nobody knows but I know, yeah I know
This is not something that anyone else knows, but I am aware of it
They don't see it, but I feel it
Others might not see the changes, but I can feel them
Without you, I never will be as strong
I need you to be strong
Oh I need ya, oh I need ya
I need you to be by my side
You're the definition
You are a perfect example
