It took me out of my jazz piano niche, and it took him out of his urban scene. Then we started writing for pop people. While trying to get into the she was studying Medicine at the , but she decided to stop in her fourth year.

She also revealed that it was never an option to go out and sing other artists' songs which they had written for her. She wanted the whole album to be her own, and every song to be written by herself. The message that the lyric carries is as important to me as singing in tune. Not everyone is a writer or wants to be, so shows like that can be a great way of getting exposure — and as we're all aware, this is a tough industry to break into. I just know I'd have found it very difficult to go out and sing other people's songs week after week, though. It simply wouldn't have felt truthful. But arriving in London from Scotland, it seemed appropriate to ask myself, OK, if you're no longer a medic, who are you? She was just getting bigger and bigger, so I thought I just really need it. It felt like a long battle to get people to see me and believe in my music. Lots of Record labels didn't want to sign me. So it was great to prove people wrong in that sense.

She said, as much as she would like, she would never play the piano as well as Simone, but she would give it her best shot. There's no point chasing that kind of success because it's so transient. Far better to follow our own paths and be true to ourselves. When Sandé was 16 years of age, her parents took her to and she said she always wanted Keys to hear her music. She was like me, a great student who'd been top of her class, who played piano and loved Nina Simone. And there she was in the pop charts, yet with songs that had a message.

She said that she wanted the songs on her debut album to be fresh and she wanted to try and take it back how she wrote songs at the beginning of her career. Sandé had classical music training as a songwriter in her teens and learnt to play the piano at an early age, and getting across that she played, made and wrote her own music was very important to her. She said on the album, she wanted people to see every side of her as an artist, so it was important to have songs there where there could be a real connection with the , rather than there just be throwaway. She began working with on the album. This became Sandé's and Professor Green's first number-one single on the. The singer pointed out that she has set the song out like a story of her life.

In the recording studio, heard some of Sandé's songs which they wanted, but she refused and told them she wanted to keep them for her own album. They later asked her to write for some of their artists, and went into the studio with her and to record for a couple of weeks, and she said that her and Lewis had a lot in common. She also said that Lewis has a phenomenal voice and she was lovely. However, she said when she heard Cole sing it, she loved how what the lyrics meant to Cole was different from what they meant to her when she wrote it, so Sandé decided to give the track to Cole. I was always going to try to be the best and make this happen. The fact I'd given up the chance to be a doctor was driving me. It was an incentive to do better than that lifestyle. When I left medicine, I knew I wasn't going to muck around. I planned to write for as many people as possible and develop as much as I could for myself and others. This inspired her to write a few songs on the album. Sandé said the key to a successful song was simplicity. The singer pointed out that she could never have used songs which she wrote when she was 17 because she made the songs too complicated; saying there were too many words and parts to the track. If she has to work on a song longer than a day, she will not go back to it because it won't work. She went on to say if it was to work, the idea for the song would be almost instant.

It came about when she was having a late night conversation with , the song's producer with whom she worked throughout the whole album. She said that Naughty Boy had a beat running in the background, and then she got the first line of the song and the song began to write itself from there. However, she said lyrically or melodically the songs are not similar, but the Funky Drummer loop has been used so much and it has strings on people and that is why the connection is made between the two songs. The song's genre featured a pop. Sandé said that the song was based on the fact that she believes in God and , although she does not follow a religion. The song is about her , Adam's unconditional love for her, and she said that he supported her whatever she wanted to do, be a musician or a doctor. The singer said she didn't intend to make any of her tracks romantic, though you can apply the tracks to romance and love. It is also one of the first tracks she and Naughty Boy the producer of the song wrote three years before the album was released. The song is about Sandé's parents and their journey in life. Her father taught her that every generation should try to improve on where the last one came from. In 1980, her father and her mother got together in where Sandé was born. It was the first song that she and had worked together on and she pointed out that the song has nothing to do with her father. It has the sound of an early 1990s dance hit, and the song has been compared to the music by and. The track is about her struggle while trying to get into the and how people can get fanatical about money, drugs, fame or religion. However, at the same time as she wrote the song she was thinking about , and the fact that people laugh at the people on that show, and that they are desperate enough to go on the show and talk about their problems. She also said that the song was written very quickly in two or three hours. The song is about confusion, and the fact that you don't know for sure when you break up with someone in a relationship if this person was not the love of your life and there is a question whether you have made the right decision. Then at that moment, a whole story came out, and said at that moment she was trying to express how she was feeling, subconsciously almost. About a month ago when the song was written she and her fiancé had a falling out and it was a very hard time for her. She just wrote how she felt about that. She is one of the only individuals she would do anything for, Sandé said. And at the same time, she had just graduated in law and had always played her songs to her sister first. Sandé wanted the old feel to the track. I find that the louder people are, the less they have to say. This is about how nothing really lasts forever, but in my life, the music and ideas I have will last.
