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.
We Just Go On

Pixie
All my friends are going out
But I've been thinking
Maybe I better stay in bed
The ceiling's spinning round
Like I've been drinking
I've got this banging in my head
Boom boom boom
I need my-yy medicine
And the cure ain't Aspirin
I don't care about tomor-o-o-oh
Here we go again, here we go again
I'll be the last one on the dance flo-o-o-or
When this party ends, when this party ends
I don't even care (No!), I don't even care (No!)
Never wanna stay
I I wish that I was there
I don't even care (No!), I don't even care (No!)
Never wanna stay
I I wish that I was there
Ooh
Ooh
I sleep through the alarm
Head under pillow
I know I'm gonna pay for this
I can't stand missing out
So when you call me, call me
I say okay if you insist
Boom boom boom
I need my-yy medicine
And the cure ain't Aspirin
I don't care about tomor-o-o-oh
Here we go again, here we go again
I'll be the last one on the dance flo-o-o-or
When this party ends, when this party ends
I don't even care (No!), I don't even care (No!)
Never wanna stay
I I wish that I was there
I don't even care (No!), I don't even care (No!)
Never wanna stay
I I wish that I was there
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Never wanna stay
Wish that I was there
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Never wanna stay
I I wish that I was there
I don't care about tomor-o-o-oh
Here we go again, here we go again
I'll be the last one on the dance flo-o-o-or
When this party ends, when this party ends
I don't even care (No!), I don't even care (No!)
Never wanna stay
I I wish that I was there
Pixie Lott's "Here We Go Again" is an upbeat pop song that describes the experience of feeling the need to go out and party despite the consequences that come with it. The song opens with the singer feeling dizzy and hungover, debating whether to go out with her friends or stay in bed. She then admits to needing some sort of medicine to keep up her energy and get her through the night. The song's chorus emphasizes her carefree attitude towards the future and her desire to stay out and enjoy the party until the very end, despite the potential consequences. The song's lyrics capture the familiar feeling of being so caught up in the moment that the potential negative consequences are ignored or forgotten, and the focus is solely on enjoying the present moment.
The song's opening lines suggest that the singer's friends are going out, a common situation that many young people can relate to. However, the song quickly takes a turn as she contemplates staying in bed and dealing with the consequences of partying too hard. Despite the pounding headache and spinning ceiling, she feels the need to go out and party, and as the chorus hits, she is determined to stay out until the very end. The song's description of needing medicine is likely a reference to the use of drugs or alcohol to stay awake and party all night long.
Overall, "Here We Go Again" is a catchy pop song that speaks to the fun and carefree experience of partying all night long. However, the song also touches on the potential negatives that come with this behavior, such as hangovers, missed opportunities, and other negative consequences. The song's lyrics capture the feeling of wanting to let go and enjoy the moment, while also acknowledging that there may be a price to pay for these choices.
