[00:00:02] Moving right along in 2014, Cheryl returned to the X Factor UK for two seasons, joining the panel of Simon Cowell, Lee Walsh and...
[00:00:13] The Greats by Skulls. What I think is so cool having both of them on the show.
[00:00:17] Yes, and they had a great dynamic too. I was worried. I was like, oh no, what if they hate each other like Nicole hated Cheryl?
[00:00:22] But yeah, no.
[00:00:22] And like Mariah and Nikki, hello.
[00:00:24] Oh yeah.
[00:00:26] And during this time she released the first single from her new album, Crazy Stupid Love, in June 2014.
[00:00:33] I don't know Crazy Stupid Love.
[00:00:49] And the song features Tiny Tempah and hit number one in the UK single start,
[00:00:52] and it has been reported that the song was originally recorded by Kyla Vano for her Kiss Me Once album,
[00:00:58] and that's still on the, um, what is it?
[00:01:01] And hiding in the vault, whatever you want to call it, but we're looking for it.
[00:01:04] It would be fun if that was released.
[00:01:06] Yeah, I would love to hear that. Yeah.
[00:01:10] Yeah, this song is interesting.
[00:01:12] Oh yeah.
[00:01:12] This is another one where the first time I heard it, I was kind of like, you know, valid.
[00:01:18] But it's super catchy, and so it has grown on me through the years as well.
[00:01:23] The instrumentation is just so bare.
[00:01:27] Like it's literally just this like step clap beat the whole time,
[00:01:30] and then there's that like saxophone moment.
[00:01:34] Yeah, so I think I don't love that because I just think there's just so much more you could have done with it.
[00:01:39] That's valid.
[00:01:40] But I think she sounds great.
[00:01:42] I think it fit her voice yet again.
[00:01:45] I think Tiny was a great feature choice, like he was kind of everywhere at that point.
[00:01:49] He was.
[00:01:50] So and her promo was good.
[00:01:52] So like I have good memories of kind of this time in her career.
[00:01:56] It's not my favorite of her singles, but I think it, I think it's fun.
[00:02:00] Yeah, what do you think?
[00:02:01] I understand that sentiment.
[00:02:03] I think with Under the Sun how like it was like
[00:02:06] not the last single, but like kind of around the last singles that we had heard from her.
[00:02:11] So I guess it's kind of like a pickup from where we left off situation.
[00:02:14] I don't know dude.
[00:02:15] Like I'm trying to make sense of it.
[00:02:17] I feel like after so many idioms inspired singles, I guess this was like a nice switch up.
[00:02:23] Yeah, I guess sonically and then coming from the 10 tour, it was fun.
[00:02:27] It was safe for sure.
[00:02:30] It sounds almost like a movie soundtrack in a sense, like song where it could be placed in a wrong con.
[00:02:36] Obviously because of the title of the movie, but not because of that movie.
[00:02:39] But I was sure.
[00:02:40] Yeah, yeah.
[00:02:41] I mean not realizing, but yeah, it just kind of feels very like safe by the numbers
[00:02:45] pop track and doesn't feel like Cheryl, the album and also Cheryl.
[00:02:51] But yeah, I think also the video kind of left me a little more confused than being like wow,
[00:02:57] like did she look good?
[00:02:58] Yeah, but like the club concept with the old school Sonic was a little off for me.
[00:03:02] She looked great.
[00:03:03] Yes, it was a little basic just as a concept.
[00:03:05] I guess she had it done the kind of club concept yet.
[00:03:09] But she looks like she's having a lot of fun doing the choreo.
[00:03:11] The choreo is quite good, I would say.
[00:03:13] Yeah, totally.
[00:03:13] Very fun and good musicality there.
[00:03:16] So I guess this is one of those songs that I do enjoy watching the visuals maybe a bit
[00:03:21] more than just listening to it.
[00:03:23] I'm glad Kylie didn't keep it.
[00:03:26] Like I don't think this would have worked.
[00:03:28] I mean not, I mean Kiss Me Once.
[00:03:30] Yeah.
[00:03:31] We have to do an episode about Kiss Me Once, so keep an eye out for that because
[00:03:34] that's the whole thing to talk about.
[00:03:37] But yeah, the song is fine.
[00:03:40] I think Cheryl does elevate it though.
[00:03:42] Yeah.
[00:03:43] Yeah.
[00:03:43] Oh yeah.
[00:03:45] Wow to be her.
[00:03:47] So the album's second single was I Don't Care and it was released in November 2014
[00:03:52] and it also hit number one in the UK single chart making her the first British female
[00:03:57] solo artist to achieve a five number one singles.
[00:04:07] For me this song did not deserve the spot but that's just me.
[00:04:12] I know that probably sounds unkind, but this song is so generic.
[00:04:16] It gives to have Katy Perry, California girls, but like just the I Don't Give a F version of it.
[00:04:22] And again, I guess at this point you're beat up.
[00:04:26] It's the same kind of like my life is in a tabloid.
[00:04:29] So at this point, again at this point now it's getting a little old, getting a little sale.
[00:04:34] Love you with liberal content, Scott Segal.
[00:04:38] And then the song just sounds like again just like a throwaway track off of Katy's
[00:04:42] Teenage Dream album.
[00:04:43] So I don't appreciate that and for her.
[00:04:45] This was definitely the case if I was like if she didn't have the X-Factor and this
[00:04:50] you know this fame that she has, this would not have hit number one.
[00:04:54] Like that's wild to me.
[00:04:55] I think quality wise this song is so much lower.
[00:04:59] Yeah it makes me sad for her.
[00:05:00] A lot of her other singles at the time.
[00:05:02] Yeah, a lot of her.
[00:05:03] And I was quite sad that she actually got that record with this song as well because
[00:05:06] I think Jerry was, I think it was Jerry and like Hallowell and Rita Ora I think that
[00:05:11] were the two.
[00:05:12] And like Jerry, like her first or single run is awesome.
[00:05:16] So yeah to have that kind of her lose that was a little sad.
[00:05:20] But um yeah I guess again I appreciate the message because yes she was still
[00:05:27] you know like being scrutinized a lot by the public and the media so like her just
[00:05:31] kind of reiterating like I don't give a crap what you say about me like I think that's
[00:05:35] that's fine and it's on brand at all but yeah the song is just so forgettable.
[00:05:40] I think the bridge is nice it's maybe the best part for me.
[00:05:43] Um yeah the video is nice like the color grading is nice like I like her like her on the boat and
[00:05:50] stuff.
[00:05:50] Yeah yeah yeah that feels super summery and stuff but yeah just just nothing no no nothing
[00:05:57] special about it.
[00:05:59] Yeah no no yeah so the album Only Human was released shortly after and it peaked at
[00:06:04] number seven in the UK albums chart and it featured an introduction by philosopher Allen
[00:06:09] Watts which set the theme of the album to be about living life to the fullest and being true to yourself.
[00:06:16] I can't tell you something this album I also was two in the car and I was like sir I'm driving
[00:06:20] to work right now shut up literally oh my gosh I rolled my eyes too I'm gonna be honest I
[00:06:27] never listened to this album like I don't did not remember any of the tracks on this album
[00:06:31] like when I was been listening to this the past few weeks and yeah I've totally
[00:06:35] forgot about this intro and only rich people say stuff like this that money doesn't matter
[00:06:41] and you should just live you should just do what you want to do only rich people say that because
[00:06:46] they don't have to worry about money so that annoys me as a concept whatever pop star whatever
[00:06:51] celebrities say stuff like this I'm just like screw you.
[00:06:56] Because literally I was sitting here like in my car no AC because I have to go to a child
[00:07:01] to get money for the fix the car for the AC for you to go oh dude money was an object oh
[00:07:05] I don't know not drive myself to work I want that for one release more albums I don't know sir
[00:07:11] what about you? I'm totally joking but also very much serious I'm not angry I'm just like wow
[00:07:17] no I think it's funny yeah yeah it's funny we're just being funny guys but um um but yeah
[00:07:21] you know what honestly I feel like at this point with this album just hopping right into the
[00:07:25] whole critique of it yeah um whatever was going on in her life at the time I'm not sure
[00:07:30] she was dating and we're not here to talk about who she was dating but I think we can I started to
[00:07:35] notice that she looked different as well like she let her she lost a lot of weight around this time
[00:07:40] um and I feel like the passion in terms of like I would say music was dying but
[00:07:46] music was changing around the time it was really hot was changing around the time and
[00:07:50] after a while you kind of feel like you don't fit in and I feel like this album has a little
[00:07:54] bit of that feeling for me it kind of has it kind of tastes like what should I be doing right now
[00:08:00] um and I just feel a little bit like dang um I wonder what would have happened if she explored more
[00:08:09] more not genres but like more sub-genres within the genre of EDM right so instead of just doing
[00:08:17] more big drum ballads and exploding club tracks what would have happened if you would
[00:08:22] explored more 70s disco and even more house concepts you know like there are some moments on
[00:08:27] this album where I'm like okay this is interesting but no wow like firecracker I can say I was like
[00:08:32] ooh hang on honey where is she going and she has the tone she could fit it I mean after the lady
[00:08:39] end to belem situation with the whole country pop the go go off girl you better sing your fire
[00:08:43] cracker um but I like what it sounded like on her voice the country sound doesn't sound bad on her
[00:08:48] um but like I said I just wonder what would have happened if she would have explored more of that
[00:08:52] the decades of electronic music as opposed to just being like okay I'm gonna do what's
[00:08:56] trendy or what I did before and hope people like it but again it might be heard being like you know
[00:09:02] I'm kind of tired um I don't know what I'm supposed to do right now as a musician like I like music
[00:09:06] but what how many things am I supposed to make I don't know what she was thinking about at
[00:09:09] the time but it just right now this one feels a little anemic in terms of effort not vocal
[00:09:14] performance not like everyone trying but in terms of like the cohesion in terms of like the thematic
[00:09:21] elements I don't know yeah how I feel that one feels strongly like I love it I don't hate it but
[00:09:27] it's just kind of somewhere like in the middle and that's where this album sits somewhere in the
[00:09:30] middle you know well yeah I yeah I kind of felt the same way as you so then when we were doing
[00:09:35] research for this I you know I listened to interviews and I read a lot of interviews
[00:09:39] that she was doing at the time sure and I mean of course it might just be a PR thing but like
[00:09:45] she speaks about it quite passionately actually this album interesting which also I was like I don't
[00:09:51] feel that I do appreciate that the album has kind of a concept even if I don't fully agree with
[00:09:58] the message of it okay but just again this album is just like just not a lot of memorable moments
[00:10:08] on there I think some of the Nikola co-writes were good I think it's about time
[00:10:13] was good there's some sexier moments on there like all in one night and coming up for air with
[00:10:18] Joel Compass as well that are that have some nice moments in there and are a little different for her
[00:10:24] but most of the songs are just a bit like meh and especially when you add in all like the
[00:10:30] bonus tracks on there too the album feels so long dang it dang it and I'm just nothing
[00:10:38] really has a lot of replay value you know like I tried being listening to it just you know just
[00:10:44] like sitting down and like with my headphones and like it was hard for me not to want to just get up
[00:10:49] like do something else while I was listening to this like it just wasn't really capturing my
[00:10:54] attention and like again the mid tempo stuff like waiting for lightning and goodbye means hello
[00:10:59] like they were just so boring for her I think she sounds good yeah there are some nice production
[00:11:06] elements on it but yeah again kind of what I said about some of the previous stuff just nothing about
[00:11:11] it just makes you want to return to it oh I feel so I pull back because I'm like oh yeah she looks
[00:11:16] too like it seems like they don't know what they're doing they don't care and she really did care it's
[00:11:20] just the care is just I don't know yeah but it could just be like her pr training it was like
[00:11:25] here's your messaging when you talk about this album even if she wasn't really feeling that you
[00:11:28] know what I mean yeah but she did write quite a lot on the album as well you know so I think
[00:11:34] the effort was there yeah you know yeah maybe it's just a production at this time just at this point
[00:11:38] for me the exploding drum ballads I'm over them so I think for me just sonically I think it was
[00:11:43] just a little like okay um speaking of an exploding drum ballad only human the title track was released
[00:11:50] at the album Spinal Single in March 2015 and it unfortunately only peaked at number 70 in the
[00:11:57] UK singles chart mind the big drum ballads like I think with this one it it sounds nice like the
[00:12:18] electronic elements are interesting there's a big build to it there's like an epicness that they're
[00:12:24] trying to kind of bring to it yeah I think the melody has some nice moment she sounds good on it
[00:12:30] she did do some like acoustic performances of it as well and she actually did sound pretty good
[00:12:35] on it because right I would say actually like this is actually kind of a tough song to sing
[00:12:39] like the notes are kind of all over the place a little bit yeah you do have to use your whole range
[00:12:42] it goes quite low in the verses she has to use her head voice you know throughout it and she did handle
[00:12:48] it well but again do I listen to this song or would I choose to listen to this song a lot
[00:12:56] no no that was valid um I think for this song the concept was interesting
[00:13:04] um obviously it's a titular track so like let's just go for it right um the vocoder and the isolated
[00:13:11] vocals were the chilling moment I thought okay mama like okay cute cute again I just think that
[00:13:18] the production is heavy in the chorus and it's okay as a song yeah the meaning the meaning is great
[00:13:23] like if you take the word the music away the words mean so much and I I appreciate it but
[00:13:28] overall maybe I don't understand what was happening in her in the whole pop culture that was going on
[00:13:34] in the UK but dishonically and just listening to it I could understand that I see reception
[00:13:38] toward it like it's not as dynamic as this as it masquerades itself to be yeah um and like I said
[00:13:45] at this point I just think the titular tracks on her in her career aren't as strong as some of
[00:13:49] the other like album tracks um but yeah like I said I do appreciate her voice I don't think
[00:13:54] she's ever come across as lazy um but yeah I think overall on the album lower register is great
[00:14:02] moments in the higher parts of the song that are good um she's constantly in a state of improvement
[00:14:07] and I appreciate that you can hear it in this song so I totally appreciate it yeah but again I just
[00:14:11] think overall the sound was already just kind of just not good for her and this current like
[00:14:19] state of music the soundscape was just so different at this point not so different but
[00:14:23] it was different yeah yes yes so following her departure from X Factor in 2016 Cheryl focused
[00:14:32] more on her personal life and she did have a child with one direction member Liam Payne crazy in
[00:14:37] 2017 but she was still working on new material and she eventually would release some new music
[00:14:43] in 2018 although Cheryl has said that she had an album pretty much done after signing with a new
[00:14:49] label 3 beat she stated that she just wanted to focus on the singles and went with love made me do it
[00:14:56] in November 2018 and the song had notable writers including girls a loud bandmate Nicola Roberts
[00:15:15] fellow pop stars Kylie Minogue and Natasha beddingfield and former xenomania collaborator
[00:15:20] Miranda Cooper Miranda Cooper the single hit number 19 the UK singles chart which I don't think is too
[00:15:28] bad considering you know what happened with only humans so nice comeback after the baby and the
[00:15:34] breakup let's get it um lots of promo too she had huge promo slots for this so I think
[00:15:39] because of that it was was kind of like oh it only hit number 19 so oh interesting I did not
[00:15:46] know she had all that promo yeah like with fight for this love I like the remix better the initial
[00:15:52] talk one is a little bit better for me only because it just sounds like it's doing something it fits
[00:15:59] her sonics I think for what I know her now as like a dance EDM girlie at this point like
[00:16:06] I feel like it's just more true to her sound and even the visuals that were featured in the
[00:16:09] video like in the video she looks super edgy and editorial and then the song is like this
[00:16:13] minimal quirky situation I'm like I don't know she looks so chic and cool and then you have like this
[00:16:19] like kind of the new girl sounding song um I just feel like that the visuals and the
[00:16:26] song is just more incongruent doesn't make it a bad song but I'm just like oh there's a
[00:16:29] stronger version of this that that exists in my opinion um did you like this song because I feel
[00:16:34] like you know it wasn't bad but what did you think about it it's not bad I would say I like
[00:16:40] it more than crazy stupid love like I like it more than these past few singles yeah okay but I will
[00:16:46] say the team is wild for this like Kylie Natasha Bettefield Nikola and Miranda like in my mind
[00:16:52] those four should be putting together something better than this oh you know yeah I wonder I doubt
[00:16:57] it was like the four of them in a room together like I'm sure it was like it started off as a
[00:17:01] concept between like Kylie Miranda and then Natasha and then added stuff to it and then Nikola
[00:17:07] you know I don't think it was like a four of them in a room situation yeah this is but yeah I don't know
[00:17:13] similar to crazy stupid love like it's just so bare like the production is so understated yeah I think
[00:17:21] I think helps her vocals in a sense because then you really hear the harmonies and stuff which
[00:17:26] I think are very well produced um and there's some like little bloops and kind of like basic
[00:17:31] percussion and stuff that then just stand out a lot just because there's not a lot going on
[00:17:37] but I think as a song it's actually pretty good and then when you listen to the remixes like
[00:17:44] the initial talk one that you said they all make the song faster and just give it a bit more energy
[00:17:49] and so yeah it just makes a much bigger impact with those yeah so I just feel like if the production
[00:17:55] maybe actually lets this song down because those remixes show that there is potential a song
[00:18:03] like a good song there but there's just something about the regular version that doesn't make much
[00:18:08] impact yeah but I was excited for her to be back she seems very excited about it
[00:18:13] like and those performances are good I would say yeah totally I love the bodysuit but yeah
[00:18:19] for some reason it just doesn't reach its full potential at all yeah yeah I think the
[00:18:27] the wind and the silt are starting to kind of let up a bit in terms of
[00:18:32] yeah wow factor yeah yeah so following her participation in the BBC one competition show
[00:18:39] The Greatest Dancer as a dance captain she released the single Let You in May 2019
[00:18:53] and the single peaked at number 57 in the UK singles chart with the music video filmed in LA
[00:19:00] oh right yes let you what do you think I'm so tired of someone getting her heart broken oh my goodness
[00:19:06] I am so tired of her getting hurt oh my god like I said she's become almost like the
[00:19:11] like her music has become a diary it's become like J.Lo where it's like something has happened
[00:19:17] and people know about it unfortunately so when she releases the song and it's just like oh what
[00:19:21] did you let him do but at this point it's like the song isn't bad it's just the same from her
[00:19:26] thematically I want a screw you I want a you know um I'm not like I know I'm old but I'm still
[00:19:33] here like I don't want that kind of thing I want her that sounds crazy but in pop she's old
[00:19:37] let's just say that yes um but yeah you know I want something that's a little bit more like
[00:19:43] I am Cheryl I am woman hear me roar without signing to Katy Perry asked oh god we don't
[00:19:48] we're not gonna talk about that but something that's just like bad ass and this just wasn't
[00:19:54] bad ass for me and she could deliver bad ass you know um the song is okay I guess
[00:20:00] in terms of trend she was right in there with the whole like retro 80s thing right before
[00:20:06] 2020 took it and like vomited everywhere so good for her
[00:20:10] good for her yeah for her so it's valid yes you know and the video was cute she's back in LA
[00:20:18] doing her thing like she looks cute yeah but that's it you know it's fine I think the chorus kind of
[00:20:26] lets the song down a little bit I think the verses are nice but the course just doesn't really go
[00:20:30] anywhere um it just feels a little simple yeah I really don't have much to say on the song honestly
[00:20:40] like I remember yeah like when it came out you know as the chart shows like it just there's just
[00:20:46] didn't make much impact on anyone you we don't have to nitpick it I get you yeah I mean to be fair
[00:20:53] like the music industry had fully changed already by this time you know like the whole downloads
[00:20:58] era and everything streaming era I mean so you know it's you can't expect to be number one all the
[00:21:06] time anymore because it's not as it's much harder to do that probably but yeah just the response was
[00:21:13] muted and I think that yeah I don't know I agree with that oh it's heartbreaking it's heartbreaking
[00:21:20] but yeah you know since then Cheryl has not released any solo material since let you um and
[00:21:25] interviews during this era she was quite open about not trying too hard to be successful
[00:21:29] and that if the singles didn't do well it's time for her to move on with her life
[00:21:33] and she said I'm not going to jump around working hard and spending time away from my son
[00:21:38] for that is the juice worth the squeeze I agree it's not at this point you already have a legacy
[00:21:43] as a great girl group member a great soloist yes so at this point like what is there to prove
[00:21:48] and we always say that on the show with our legacy artists like girl you ain't got nothing
[00:21:51] to say except here I am yes although what I would add to that is you can also at this point just
[00:21:57] release music because you want to exactly right because if you really don't care about the charts
[00:22:01] you know then just do it stuff you don't even need to do any promo for it if you want to
[00:22:05] create music then create music but I think I guess for her it's like that juice really
[00:22:09] isn't worth the squeeze because she probably loves the performing and then kind of all the stuff
[00:22:13] and it's yeah so I understand oh yeah yeah yeah so since then she has done some acting
[00:22:19] the last few years she appeared in the film for kids and it in 2020 also in the stage play 222
[00:22:26] a ghost story on the west end in 2023 she also performed at mighty hoopla in 2021 and that
[00:22:33] actually featured a cameo from nicola as well yeah and more recently uh when asked if she had any
[00:22:39] plans to continue with music she noted that the music industry has changed a lot and she's not
[00:22:43] sure if she fits in so yeah it's kind of in line with what we've been saying uh so in 2024 girls
[00:22:49] allowed reunited to go on tour in remembrance and celebration of member sara harding following her
[00:22:55] death in 2021 uh so you know she got to perform her little ass off and killed it on that tour
[00:23:02] she did she's so good yeah she's a great performer she knows she knows her bag so she's
[00:23:08] the fact that she's unable to do it to like I guess more consistently I it probably does hurt
[00:23:13] um yes I'd be curious to know if if there'd be any traction if she did do like a jenet
[00:23:18] together again kind of situation or like a madonna or like a taylor's era's version of
[00:23:25] like just a tour just to celebrate her solo career yeah well not even a tour maybe like a
[00:23:29] very limited engagement like hey i'm gonna be here you have three nights to figure out if you're
[00:23:33] gonna buy tickets or not let's go you know i don't know what the legit is but that is
[00:23:37] yeah because you know she would just perform the crap out of it yeah totally she's got her
[00:23:41] her kid's old enough where she has to be like you know you know nursing him he's like
[00:23:44] he can watch it like he did um the girls allowed tour so I'm curious to know that would be like a
[00:23:50] possibility for her but if not that's fine too I mean the girls have done a lot she has done a
[00:23:55] lot she's been through a lot she's near deaf experience a lot you know so yeah at this point
[00:24:01] I'm pretty sure she's not even just getting started she has so much time to figure out if she
[00:24:07] wants to keep making music if she wants to do movies if she wants to come to the US even
[00:24:11] if she decides not to do that she has so much wealth of knowledge and talent that she could either
[00:24:16] mentor like she has been doing yes or just cute you know like you said release music so yeah
[00:24:22] I think it's just up to her what life leads here I just hope there's no more BS that finds her
[00:24:27] because she deserves better fortune treat her well I mean it's been interesting because you know
[00:24:32] of course like at the beginning of girls allowed like she was so blunt with kind of everything
[00:24:36] now she kind of just holds her tongue a bit more yeah but you know that that feisty that's still
[00:24:41] there we did get to see some of that on the girls allowed tour as well so I think she's just a great
[00:24:46] media personality so even if she just does more reality TV I'd be here for that um because yeah
[00:24:51] like you said like a lot at the time with these with these pop stars that become parents you
[00:24:56] know then they kind of once their kids get older it's like okay now you have time to like do
[00:25:00] your own thing again so I'm I'm just curious like she kind of has she can't do whatever she
[00:25:04] wants honestly at this point and like she's still regarded as you know the nation sweetheart
[00:25:10] like she still is like that popular like across the UK like even at the concert like she always got the
[00:25:16] largest reception like every time they show it for the first time in untouchable like the screen
[00:25:20] is always crazy you know regardless of what city they're in um you know so her name is still there
[00:25:27] like her her reputation is still there and so she could pretty much do whatever she wants
[00:25:32] so that's kind of an amazing place to be in yeah yeah that's valid that's valid go ahead Cheryl
[00:25:38] yeah okay so before we wrap up uh any highlights from the discography other than the singles that
[00:25:46] you would like to talk about okay so I was going to say fire hydra because I just liked it I was
[00:25:53] like hey being biased because this sounds like country pop and um you listen to cowboy Carter
[00:25:58] on repeat um that's okay and like firecracker a lot but also I think my actual like bam boom
[00:26:07] listen this represents her music more than firecracker is actually growing the mirror
[00:26:27] I like the performance on the on the tour too like again like she does feisty so well and she's
[00:26:33] saying like she's gonna take an easy on herself and she's gonna be like show herself just love
[00:26:36] and I'm like that's the Cheryl I want self love Cheryl not I love you so much I you know our
[00:26:41] love is so amazing together or I let you hurt me I want I want I love me Cheryl and the song is very
[00:26:48] much I love me Cheryl so yes and firecracker too just as a honorable mention was very much like girl
[00:26:54] I will I will come for you if you try to come affirm what's why I know like yeah I love um so
[00:27:00] yeah I still have a little lover girl at heart but this one is very much like self-lover girl
[00:27:03] but yeah like okay what about you yes I will highlight screw you again featuring wretch 32
[00:27:22] because yeah it really did deserve to be a single it is it's so perfect it is
[00:27:27] it just fits her so perfectly like in every way yeah and she performed the crap out of it too
[00:27:35] so yeah I do think it deserved a little moment uh so yeah I would definitely add that one
