Next single from Cheryl called "Let You", which was co-written with Nicola Roberts and will be released next month.
Hoping for something great with this!!
Omg this is very soon! When May was announced, I was expecting the back end Although this may mean the promo doesn't coincide with release week again, which is frustrating
She needs to stop with he Cheryl Cole the drama... it doesn’t help her sales anymore.
Ps she spent ages looking for the right man? She wasn’t divorced 5 mins (after a rushed marriage) before she started dating and got pregnant with Liam...
I think she's very much over, to be honest.
'Love made me like this' went to #1 on iTunes though and if it had received better spotify support from the start it could have been a reasonable sized hit! If the song is good quality it could get her another top 15 hit especially if it's BGT.
Nicola is so talented looking forward to this
The teasing her begun.

Oh my one of the comments... "looks like she has had a busy night" ouch, I must admit I did laugh though
So according to Genius this is coming May 31st, but apparently anyone can edit that?
But that would tie in with BGT, the Final is on the 1st of June and they obviously have live shows the full week leading up to that, so it would work.
According to someone on PJ.
Just to be known as plain Cheryl, if this isn't successful for her, I would think that her time for getting chart hits are over.
I’m ready for this.
Cheryl’s my favourite UK popstar in all honesty.
Hope she comes back with a complete banger.
At least this time around the big performance is in the debut week so it should hopefully peak higher than Love Made Me Do It.
Also guessing video will come out at the same time.
Can't wait to hear it .
She hasn't been announced as a guest on BGT, really shocked she isn't doing it.
Maybe they are keeping it a secret, but I don't know why they would.
Coming on Friday!

Choreo!
Sounded a little flat to me but listened a few times and I actually think I will really like this, there is a slight 80's feel about it.
I like the sound of that! It's an uptempo bop which is what she needs after Love Made Me Do It, however she's left it too late since then, whatever she releases
Excited for this, sounds promising!
Love the clip.. why didn’t she lead with this instead of ‘LMMDI’
Although, having said that, the media was all out to bring her down at the end of last year... so I don’t think it would have mattered what she lead with
I think she lead with that due to the whole Liam Payne thing which she was again thinking would help promote her single as she's done purposefully or unintentionally before - songs about her personal life have done well for her
Fight For This Love - Ashley Cole
Promise This - Malaria
Parachute - Derek Hough
Under The Sun - dancing with Tre
Crazy Stupid Love - Jean Fernendez Versini
Love Made me Do It - Liam Payne and all her other relationships
This is looking and sounding amazing....
Artwork:
Also out at midnight are:
Orchestral Version
Mighty Mouse Edit
Cahill Edit
Hate that artwork lol but excited for the song!!
The song is a bop!
The cover would be fine without that unnecessary border.
The image itself is quite nice! It’d work much better textless
I am really liking this.
It looks like they've taken a random screengrab of the video and added the rest on Paint.
The artwork is shocking.
But the snippet for this sounds all right.
Honestly don’t think the artwork is bad at all, in fact I really like it. An 80s aesthetic jumps out, border and all. The image of Cheryl is pretty striking too. It’s certainly a far more interesting artwork than Love Made Me Do It, which was also unflattering (quite frankly I’d say that Let You is one of her better artworks...)
Really liking the song yessss *.* This should have been her comeback last year. I feel the song would be even better if her vocals had more oomph to them. I assume the delivery is completely intentional but she sounds a bit bored/flat in parts. It’s a competent bop though and I hope she’ll do well!
This is miles better than Love Made Me Do It. Lord knows what she was thinking leading with that. I can't see it doing anything at all though unfortunately.
A BOP, I'm loving this 😍
Really liking the track and I’m on the side of those liking the artwork too!
This is perfect for summer. A low key bop not in your face but I really like it
I think this could do better than Love Made Me Do It in the long run as well she just needs some promo.
I actually like this!
It's almost the return to top form I was hoping for after that last dire single. As far as Cheryl songs go, I'd give it a 7.5/10 on first listen.
Such a banger! The Queen is back! Thought she lost it for a moment with that atrocious single, but this is great!
The music video is up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWvZKtPOFg0
It’s already been replayed!
I do think it’s a tad short like one more chorus or a extra verse may have added something.
But it’s a BOP.
Queen!
Such a return to form.. although it feels very short.. I’m sure the remixes are going to be great though.
Hopefully the length will help with streaming
Ok I like this a lot she’s back on form for me with this imo !
As others have said, a return to form. I'm still doubtful if she's weathered the Dan Wootton ring led hate storm, but there's no disputing that this is her best single in some time.
Yeah this is a flop
This is so good
Really good, I have doubts but I would love this to at least become a moderate hit.
This song is much better than Love made me do it.
This is so so good!
It's also her first single I can think of which doesn't in some way sound cheap!
It is a huge improvement on her last single.
Really good for Cheryl! Much better than LMMDI! Altho her fillers are still disconcerting
I love it .
Her vocal is so dead on this
Love the production though
I am really liking this atm! The production is SOOOO good. I def understand the critique Joe gives in regards to her vocals, but I feel like it's quite endearing in that way and I don't think it detracts or takes anything away from the song.
The production is really great but there’s no real strong hook/melody for this to be a hit. The singing doesn’t really work well with the production.
You can tell she’s no longer with a major label, a strong pop hit/moment this is not.
The production is great but I can't get past her voice either, it just doesn't work at all with the production
The vocal probably feels jarring as they clearly didn't bother to re-record it to fit the new tempo of the song once they decided to beef it up.
I actually like the vocal delivery weirdly, but I realise I am in the minority.
Hasn't her vocal been "dead" in pretty much everything before though?
Pretty obsessed with it!`
Happy with the overall reaction as it's mostly very positive - if only she could get a top10 hit with this.
I really like this, it's probably my 3rd favorite release of the week behind Katy and Tiesto/Jonas/Rita.
I agree with what a lot of you guys are saying - the production is a real explosion but her unenthusiastic vocals alongside don't mix well, so it's not connecting properly overall. A step up from 'Love Made Me Do It' nevertheless.
She should’ve returned with this song
This is going to be the last time she bothers with music isn't it?
I would predict it will be her last studio album for a long time if ever.
A Greatest Hits package will come at some point.
I don't really see an album happening tbh.
As if there will be an album.
At most I can see her appearing on some dance features like Louisa.
Dance features could be a good option for her.
I did think Nadine may have tried that route.
Cheryl is not top 40 today in the midweek chart information made available.
She was out doing some radio promo today, popped into Kiss to, I think, pre-record for their Breakfast show tomorrow and then pre-recorded something for Scott Mills's Show on Radio 1 tomorrow. While she was at Radio 1 she went on Grimmy's show for a quick chat a spin of the track.
This new interview with BBC News speaks volumes about how disillusioned she feels about the industry now (not to mention confirms what we all knew - that it would basically take an army of pigs flying over a frozen hell for a future Girls Aloud reunion of any description whatsoever): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48457642
If her career does end on this single, at least it's a relatively decent one it's ending on. But TBH I said on Friday I wonder if the backlash at the end of last year didn't hole her future prospects in music and sadly it looks like I'm about to be proved right. Be interesting to see if this artist forum survives the next clearout in a year's time as a result.
Single after single does not mean a 6 month release date in between lol cheryl.
Mad how 10 years ago she could throw out a banger after banger and get #1. I do feel her last two songs have been pretty weak
She’s at #36 in the midweeks so she might miss the top 40 all together depending how the best few days go
I think it will get a low top 70 entry on Friday. I think she should add the songs onto a greatest hits set and release while greatest hits still can do half ok as I think greatest hits releases are on the way out except for those who have huge catalogues to offer with older fan bases.
Greatest Hits might be difficult at this point considering she’s on a different label now.
Does she even have enough hits to fill an album with
Fight for this love
3 words
Promise This
Parachute
Call My Name
Under The Sun
Crazy Stupid Love
Are there any more
there's also
Heartbreaker (top 5)
The Flood (top 20)
I Don't Care (#1)
Only Human (hit is a bit of a stretch here, but top 75)
Love Made Me Do It (top 20)
and her extremely important contribution on that version of Will.I.Am's 'Check It Out' for the lolz
Still not on any huge or really crucial playlists but at least its moving higher on the bigger ones that it is on.
Spotify Update
New Music Friday - 720,000 followers - #8 (+8)
The Pop List - 650,000 followers - #5 (-)
Chart Hits UK - 220,000 followers - #10 (+22)
Future Hits - 60,000 followers - #4 (+11)
Correct me if I am wrong, I did ask on the Spotify thread but no one has responded yet, but doesn't it climbing on playlists indicate its at least popular in those playlists? If it does well in certain playlists it should find its way onto more playlists, at least that is how I have always thought Spotify worked.
I forget who it was that said it over on the Spice Girls forum, but how Cheryl is about new solo music now is how I imagine Geri Halliwell/Horner is about it (I say Geri because success wise, they're the closest in comparison). That's why Geri's only released two singles in recent years, and one of them didn't even come out here in the UK. Unless she could be guaranteed of a big number one with the smoke and fanfare that used to come with all of that back in 1999/2000, then as she sees it, it's not worth her time.
Cheryl is the same, but just swap out 1999 for 2009. She would do well after this to take a step back and consider what it is she really wants to do that will be satsifying for her personally and professionally. If you look at Geri now outside the Spice Girls reunion bubble at present, she co-hosts one of the most popular Saturday night shows on BBC One with Rob Beckett (All Together Now), she's still quite active with the United Nations in her ambassador role as far I'm aware, and she does other bits and pieces like her 90s documentary retrospective she did a couple of years ago and Celebrity Bake Off as well.
In Cheryl's case, it would be 'The Greatest Dancer' as she's clearly enjoyed that and got a buzz out of it (and rightly so, because dance is where she's always been strongest as a performer) and it's back for another series next year. Focussing her energies into that and also her centre for her Trust in Newcastle seems to be the way forward I would think.
This charted at number 57 today.
Any promo lined up? I imagine this will only get the 1 week top 100 if not.
"You say you played at Reading then you chart at 57"
...bored of this already
This deserves a higher peak than LMMDI - it's such a bop.
I don't see a compilation happening but it would be fitting if she had a '10 year' celebration singles collection-esq album given it will be a decade since the release of FFTL!
She has more than enough hits to do a GH.
I know she keeps saying no... but I’m fully expecting a Girls Aloud reunion tour next year...
It would be great if the girls could sort out their differences and reunite.
Musically, it is the only the girls will have success going forward.
As they all attempted solo music careers shows they want to remain in the industy and this would be their best way forward.
I would greatly welcome both Girls Aloud and The Spice Girls reuniting and recording new studio albums.
The reason she had such single success was because of her huge promo slot on X Factor at the time when XF was having 8+ mil viewers a night. It was translating to sales.
With no dominant show like that any more and no promo of a comparable level she simply doesn't have the platform. She should've tried to get some deal with Love Island or something.
I think it’s a combination of things. I agree that The X Factor was a big reason of course, but there were other things going in her favour. Even though she’d been in the business for 7 years, she was new as a solo artist & seemed fresh. She was young (26). The music industry was in a totally different place (6 week build up of radio, promotion & preorders). I think it’s fair to say Fight for This Love as a video, song & her visuals just really worked & connected with the public!
Sometimes it doesn’t work. X Factor was still a big deal in the ratings when Tulisa was a judge, but her album didn’t work out for her!
X Factor really helped Cheryl achieve some of her number 1 singles.
It wasnt the only factor in her success but it played an important part.
Not massively into the music video, but I'm absolutely LOVING the song. I actually don't mind her voice in this!
The best part for me in the instrumental is when she says "when am I gonna get mine?" and the beat gets louder/more echoed piano style than before, I'm not sure what it is but there is something about it that catches my ear every time I hear it.
Definitely one of her best in my opinion.
I feel like Tulisa never had Cheryl's accessible charm and that worked against her. Of course also she hit X Factor when it was starting its decline and seemed like a suspiciously similar substitute for her which never works out well.
Gives me "3 Words" vibes, which is a plus
It's unfair to put all the credit onto X-Factor. Cheryl managed a moderately big hit as a feature with Will-I-Am on Heartbreaker before she started X-Factor. She also went solo at the perfect moment with Girls Aloud being the biggest they had ever been. I think Cheryl took a lot of the success Girls Aloud would have gone on to achieve if they had continued over Cheryl's solo music.
Yes X-Factor certainly helped, and I'm not so sure whether she would have achieved the million selling #1 single and million selling #1 album without it, however a lot of other factors (FFTL song, the Ashley cheating drama, the fresh solo star coming off the back of massive girl group - think initial Spice success - etc) would have ensured she had a successful first era without X-Factor in my opinion.
Omg we slept on Let You's first birthday just like the charts did when it was released.
This song deserved so much more. I hope we get a performance including choreo one day!
I honestly think it would have been a bigger seller than Crazy Stupid Love or I Don’t Care if it had come out in 2014 Such an underrated song.
Agreed - it's a great track and deserved so much more
Both this and Love Made Me Do deserved so much more love. I wonder when, or maybe if, she will release new music because we know she has recorded a lot more songs.
One of the best songs of 2019 such a shame
I strongly feel this could've been the opposite of LMMDI and turned into a cute lil hit if she put it out in November 2018, as a package it's just leagues and bounds above that. Justice for Let You
Meh it’s an ok song but her last two solo singles are definitely her weakest two singles for me!
But this was better than Love Made Me Do It.
It's really saddening that it's SO much better than many of the songs she actually had hits with. She never stood a chance at this point though.
I'd be surprised if we hear from her again music-wise.
hard to believe this was a year ago, the album if there was one must be shelved as 2 singles in and a year later nothing. maybe a hits album album and include the 2 singles on that could be her best option and it might her get another top 40 album.
I still like this song, but Cheryl won't have another hit (unless she's in a mayor duet). Those kids who grew up with her music now listen to artists the same age as them and those fans who are Cheryl's age now got other priorities in life than checking out if Cheryl releases just a single song once a year.
I think it’s more Cheryl herself doesn’t see her career as a priority right now.
You could argue when her career was successful her personal life.... well wasn’t yet now it seems it’s the other way around.
I don’t think she’ll ever fully quit music and never sing or release anything ever again but I think she kind of knows she had success with music and the charts when the charts were very different so she just ended up being one of those artists who didn’t really transition into the streaming era.
Now Cheryls a mam too I think that’s her main goal set. In her autobiography she always said she felt she was put on earth to become a mother. I do hope we get some new music from her though as I love the woman. I still think albums wise she could score a top ten album again in week one but if she wanted success she’d ever have to go down the features route for a while or do real extensive promo!
I think with a lot of promo and bundles she could get a top 10 album but would fall fast. I think she should do the greatest hits release and promote a brand new single to push the album and she might get an album top 10 and a month or so in the chart.
