Popjustice: Whereas – like a lot of people from the UK – if you go off to Dr Luke he’s already given his best stuff to Katy.
Cheryl: And you don’t just want to sound the same as everybody else. You want newness! You want to sound like you!

Can you explain the lyrics from the chorus of ‘Call My Name’?
You’ll have to ask Calvin.
Quote:
Without trying to start an argument, you did say you don’t know – for example – what ‘Call My Name’ is about.
That’s a feel-good song. It’s not to be over-analysed, it’s just a good pop song.

‘Ghetto Baby’.
This was written by Lana and I LOVED the demo.
Quote:
One imagines you would get sent better songs than Pixie Lott, for instance. Or they’d be sent to you, and if you say no, then they go to her. One imagines. In the same way that Rihanna might get first choice and you get second?
Rihanna has a team that works for her specifically and they all go in different rooms – writing camps. That’s amazing. That’s brilliant. And those are super-talented people. I mean writers have people in mind when they’re writing – they might think ‘oh this song is for Rihanna’, and then she doesn’t want it, and they just kind of put it away and you hear it years later with a different beat to make it current. Girls Aloud once did a song that Kylie sang a bit of later, for example.
The song may have a whole different meaning to Calvin, seeing as how he wrote and produced it. But to Cheryl, it's just a hit song and whatever she gets out of the lyrics. But only Calvin knows the real intent behind the lyrics.
