Fleur East - 'Uptown Funk'

In the semi-final of The X Factor, Fleur performed 'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars.

Fleur became the first X Factor contestant to reach Number 1 during the competition.

'Sax' was Fleur East's debut single after The X Factor. The song was a massive hit in 2015 and reached Number 3 in the UK where it was certified Platinum. Speaking about her debut song, she said she wanted her music to be fun to listen to and that's what 'Sax' is for her.

Fleur East - 'Day in LA (More and More)'

Back in 2016, Fleur uploaded her 'Day in LA (More and More)' video to YouTube, which has now had more than 1.1 million views. The music video sees Fleur on the beaches and arcades near Los Angeles. 'More and More' was featured on Fleur's debut album 'Love, Sax and Flashbacks'.

'Favourite Thing' was Fleur's first song since leaving Simon Cowell's label Syco. Fleur released the stunning music video in January 2019 which featured the singer wearing an extravagant white outfit for much of the video.

Fleur East - 'Lucky'

'Lucky' fuses rhythmic percussion, smooth vocals and a pulsating bass line. Speaking about her excitement for her new release, Fleur said: "I'm really excited for people to hear 'Lucky'. It's such an uplifting, feel good song with a positive message. It's all about being grateful for the blessings you have in your life, and understanding that everything worth having is hard work."

Fleur East - 'Not Alone'

Fleur's song 'Not Alone' was initially written for an exclusive performance on The One Show, encouraging viewers to stay at home amidst the Coronavirus crisis. However, after getting so much attention online, she's decided to write an extra verse and chorus so the song can be released to raise money for the NHS. 💙
