It has been confirmed that Alexandra Burke's first single will be called "Bad Boys".

The single has been distributed amongst certain music reviewers in the past week.

Reviewer's have said the song is uptempo, got a catchy chorus and has a similar feel to Sugababe's new single "Get Sexy" leading to some people assuming it's produced by The Smeezingtons.

Alexandra is currently in LA finished her debut album as well as making the video for the first single and doing the album shoot.

The album is expected to be released in October and will feature productions from Jay-Z, Stargate, RedOne and Timbaland as well as a possible Beyoncé duet.

The single and the video premier next month.

Alexandra confirmed via Twitter her debut single will be called 'Bad Boys' and will feature a collaboration with Flo Rida! It is expected to premiere very soon!

So excited!

Judging by the producers I'm guessing her music's going to be very American.

Who have her producers worked with? It will be good if it sounds American I suppose, Brits love it anyway and more importantly it'll sell in the States

EDIT: Stupid post, just seen the producers If shes worked with Timbaland she is going to do v well

[MarkWaldorf]

LOL hopefully. RedOne seems to be doing really well lately too, what with the whole Lady Gaga fad. If her songs are catchy enough she should do well.

YAY, I'm glad she's going down that Rihanna route, we need some real versatile females with actual good voices LOL

Looking forward to this.

I really wanted her to go down the R&B route rather than follow in the footsetps of Rihanna,Britney and Beyonce and release an album full of soulless Hip Pop.
But anyway im sure it'll be catchy so im excited to hear what she(or should i say her label) have come up with.

[Lewis.]

Can't wait. Ben excited for this single ever since she won (L)(L)(L)

[Adamw92]

Can't wait to hear it!

[WoopieGeorge]

whos herd her, Perfect, and Overcome songs... ILOVE THEM.

I'm surprised, I thought they might have gone in a Rihanna esque route but I was thinking it would have been more likely to take a Leona route since Simon Cowell doesn't like risks and just loves the mumsy target audience.

[M X]

I thought Simon would have wanted her a more Leona type, but he also doesn't want her to be called a rip-off of Leona. I'm very happy she's gone for the more up-tempo hip-hop stuff!

[admina]

Sounds like she'll be a hit!

[MarkWaldorf]

Alexandra has confirmed it's called Bad Boys and features Flo Rida!

[M X]

It'll be a smash.

[MarkWaldorf]

I hope so! I'm so excited for her album now!!

[KKBL]

So it looks like its definitely that Good Girls Like Bad Boys song then?
I really liked that demo so I cant wait to hear the final version.Even though I really want it to leak,I hope it doesnt because it would really **** up single release which is 2 months away.

[MarkWaldorf]

Someone asked her if it's true it premieres September 5th and she said it isn't, a little sooner!

[gavinh2008]

Wow cannot wait for this, I really hope it sells really well

[MrGaryy]

I'm actually very eager to hear it. If it's as good as My Man I reckon I'll like it.

Im glad she is going down a more uptempo route, last thing she would want to do is follow Leona's steps.
