She garnered some controversy with her debut single "Swagger Jagger" due to it "coming across like a sink estate answer to the BlackEyedPeas" and its questionable {{sampling}} of "Oh My Darling Clementine". Despite its negative reception, the single debuted at number one on the UK singles chart and number two on the Irish charts. The song's success paved the way for two more successful singles, the Mike Posner-assisted "With Ur Love" and the international hit "Want U Back". This lead to her debut album ''Sticks + Stones'' charting at number four on the UK albums chart, and number nine on the US albums chart.
