Background

Originally Spraggan released the album independently in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2011. After she sang "Last Night" at The X Factor auditions the album peaked to number 2 on iTunes but the album had to be removed by request of The X Factor producers due to a rule change. She was told to take down her album and informed that all other The X Factor contestants this year have also been banned until the show is over, in order to give them the same level of exposure.[1] In an interview Spraggan said a short-lived romance with an older woman of 27, when she visited America at the age of 18, inspired the majority of her album's lyrics.[2]
