Cher Lloyd has finally conceded she might not be "everyone's cup of tea". However rather than letting that affect her, the 17-year-old singer is now more determined than ever to succeed.

Released on Sunday (31 August), Lloyd's debut single 'Swagger Jagger' has been the source of much ridicule since it was leaked online last month. However, speaking to Music Week, Lloyd now says she always knew that the song would divide opinion.

"We all made the decision that 'Swagger Jagger' should be my first single. I am very proud of the track, it was one of the first tracks I recorded and I instantly loved it. I think the song lyrics highlight what's happening now. People will keep writing/tweeting about me, even if they love or hate me."

Lloyd continued: "I always knew that I wasn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. Like every artist out there, you either like them or you don't. It just makes me want to go out and perform even harder for the people that do like me and my music."

As for her forthcoming album, Lloyd believes her debut will appeal to a wide demographic. She said: "My album is like a jukebox and I like to think I have a variety of music that will suit everyone. There is a bit of pop, bit of rap, reggae and of course, the ballads. I didn't want to make an album to suit a certain audience. I just want to share it with everyone."

Lloyd concluded: "I am very proud. I have been given an amazing opportunity and it was the album that I wanted to make. I think I did good for a 17-year-old girl from Malvern!"
