Tulisa's 'Young' was initially meant for someone else

  • April 27, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

The con­stantly repentant Tulisa nicked 'Young' off someone else, she's revealed to Radio 2 (as quoted here).

"With 'Young', it was one of those ones I heard in the studio, produced by one of my very good friends with Fazer, who I was in N‑Dubz with (and the rest)," she said .

"I heard it, and I was like, 'I have to have this song'. And it was meant for someone else, I'm not going to say who it was meant for, who they pictured it for, but I nicked it."

Our guess is it was meant for Cheryl, but who knows (cares).

"They don't know I've nicked it!," she continued. "They didn't even get a chance to pitch it to the [other singer], they were preparing it, it wasn't even finished and I was like, 'I'm having that song, give it to me'."

Forgive her for what she's done because she's young etc etc.
