Cher Lloyd - Want U Back

The singer/rapper was a fan favorite on the UK edition of The X-Factor last year. Her label is now attempting to cross her over in the U.S. with this super catchy song. Though lyrically banal, it is a great example of bubblegum Pop with a great hook. It might wear thin on one's nerves after too many listens, but the song is cute. There seems to be too much autotune used on the vocals which doesn't really seem necessary. Compared to her other UK singles, this one has the greatest chance of bringing her international success.
