However, while that "personal" track is based on her pain, some of her other songs are more about feeling empowered. The year-old says Who's Laughing Now is about overcoming the bullies who targeted her when she was a teenager because of her medication and how she looked.
I was just uncomfortable in my skin. I wasn't the pretty kid, I was the awkward one that didn't know who I fitted in with. I always wanted to be Sporty. Or Posh, but I wasn't pretty enough. I love getting dressed up, but I want to be remembered for my singing.
But I love singing live. Nothing beats the feeling of going out on stage and going, 'I can really sing. My style is constantly evolving. Style has been something that I think has been the hardest thing for me to come to terms with.
And that's the kind of thing people think, you know, that if you sign up to be a singer-songwriter you know how to deal with people setting up hate websites, or people being obsessed with you and crying when you touch them, but you don't, and you just have to deal with.
I like stripper shoes. I like being tall because I'm claustrophobic. I had an amazing childhood and always loved to sing and dance, but there were moments where I had ups and downs with my health that often tested me as it does many people.
I've never hidden the fact that my health was sometimes not on my side, but I've never let it define me or deter me from my dreams. I'm not a model, I'm an artist. In one of my videos, I'm doing this shot of me with no make-up on where I've just woken up, and I don't think a lot of people would be comfortable enough to do that. But that's the way I look. This is who I am. Let's enjoy it. Let's just live life to the full while we're all here.
I had knockback after knockback before I got anywhere. After I got my first record deal I thought that was it, then Gut Records went into liquidation.
I was I had no idea what that meant. I had a few days to get myself out of that contract or my work would be owned by someone else. During my stage shows, I am so energetic. It's constant! I just don't stand still. I actually got given a mic stand from my team to say 'Just calm down. Stand still for at least two songs. I always imagine the world and myself above it and how minute one negative person's voice is in comparison to the amount of people that are in the world.
I'm so happy people are seeing the eclectic side of me. I'm really honored to be able to push my voice into different sounds. Otherwise it all gets a bit samey same. Look after yourself; remember that you only consist of your being, so make the best of what you have and look after it.
Put good things into your body; eat well. It's weird because when you initially write a song, you write it with no understanding that the world is maybe going to hear it one day. So when you go into the studio, you don't see the hundreds of people at a gig or the viewers on TV, you just write a song without any inhibitions or boundaries.
I'm glad I was faced with different cultures when I was growing up because I wasn't fazed by it. It has been a huge benefit to me; I feel comfortable wherever I go.
The way I look at it, a footballer wouldn't play in flip-flops or dip their feet in acid and then expect to get to David Beckham's level. My voice is my living, so I'll be looking after it. You know, as a woman, it is tough to get to the top - like to get to that respected level in this industry - in any industry, I think.
I see my music as Emotional Therapeutic Pop music that bleeds into loads of different genres. I'm glad I've had to struggle. It's made me the artist I am now. I'm someone who'd never base how happy I am on how much money I have, or how good a restaurant is because of how posh it is.
I do my own make-up a lot of the time, and I'm very involved in what I wear. I've been in dance schools since I was four. I went to the Brit school. I did adverts and plays. I won't lie - when you're first bringing out music and you want people to notice, you probably overdo it, especially as a girl.
I'm not afraid to have no make-up on and no hair. I just want to be stripped back. I'd love to have a fashion range; I've been dressed by the amazing Vivienne Westwood, and fashion is something I'm a huge fan of. If I'm on a bus and someone makes my blood boil, I'll pocket those emotions and put them in a song. Some of the stage outfits I've got are ridiculous. I'll lay out clothes to pack, and it'll look like Polly Pocket clothing - because it's all stretchy, it's tiny.
I don't need a case when I tour; I can fit it all in my handbag. When I turned 25, something changed in me. I started thinking I want my kids to look back and say, 'Wasn't Mummy amazing?
I like my life to be pure and clean and organised, and I like to have had eight hours' sleep a night. I honestly don't think I'd be as successful if I was a party animal. Password recovery.
