Leona Lewis is a British singer, songwriter and vocal producer. She has recorded material for a demo album, five studio albums and an EP. She has also collaborated with other artists for duets and featured songs on other artists' albums, charity singles and soundtracks. Before winning the third series of the UK version of The X Factor, Lewis recorded a demo album entitled Best Kept Secret in 2004 and 2005, which was licensed by UEG Entertainment but not released.{{cite news|last=Geoghegan|first=Kev|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/entertainment/newsid_7663000/7663432.stm|title=Leona's secret album is launched|publisher=BBC|date=13 October 2008|access-date=26 March 2009}} UEG spent approximately {{GBP|70,000}} on the singer's recording and production, but the demo failed to gain interest from record labels or executives. It was released by UEG in 2009, who claimed that they had the rights to the album, though Lewis revealed she had never signed a contract that stated Best Kept Secret could possibly be released.
After winning The X Factor in December 2006 and signing a {{GBP|5 million}} contract with Simon Cowell's record label Syco and Clive Davis's J Records,{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6346331.stm|title=X Factor winner in US record deal|publisher=BBC|date=9 February 2007|access-date=26 March 2009}} Lewis began to work with writers Ryan Tedder and Steve Mac,{{cite news|url=http://www.rcalabelgroup.co.uk/news/6468/0/ |title=Leona Is Back! |publisher=RCA Label Group |date=20 August 2007 |access-date=20 August 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080323120437/http://www.rcalabelgroup.co.uk/news/6468/0/ |archive-date=23 March 2008 }} among others, for her debut studio album Spirit, which was released in November 2007.

According to Lewis, her second studio album, Echo was more guitar-orientated than Spirit.{{cite news|url=http://www.seventeen.com/fun-stuff/17-buzz/leona-lewis-echo-album-interview |title=Leona Lewis Chats About Her New Album |work=Seventeen |date=2 October 2009 |access-date=2 October 2009 |format=video |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091003230249/http://www.seventeen.com/fun-stuff/17-buzz/leona-lewis-echo-album-interview |archive-date=3 October 2009 }} In addition to working with Tedder again, Lewis collaborated with Justin Timberlake on the track "Don't Let Me Down", for which he provided background vocals, and Kevin Rudolf on "Love Letter".{{cite AV media notes|others=Leona Lewis|title=Echo|year=2009|type= inlay cover|publisher=Sony BMG, J Records, Syco|id=B005GRTNXC}} Australian recording artist Che'Nelle co-wrote the song "Can't Breathe" with Lewis and five other songwriters. Lewis appeared on the soundtrack to the 2009 film Avatar on a song called "I See You (Theme from Avatar)". In August 2011, Lewis released a summer single entitled "Collide", a collaboration with Avicii. Although it was originally intended to be the lead single from her third studio album Glassheart, it was not included in the final track list. The singer released Hurt: The EP in December 2011, to bridge the gap for fans while she finished Glassheart, released in November 2012.{{cite web|last=Corner|first=Lewis|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a361974/leona-lewis-delays-release-of-third-album-glassheart.html|title=Leona Lewis delays release of third album 'Glassheart'|work=Digital Spy|date=25 January 2012|access-date=24 March 2012}} The EP consisted of three covers: "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls and "Colorblind" by Counting Crows.{{cite web|last=Daw|first=Robbie|url=http://idolator.com/6101572/leona-lewis-hurt-ep-nine-inch-nails|title=Leona Lewis 'Hurt' EP To Contain Nine Inch Nails Cover|work=Idolator|date=5 December 2011|access-date=24 March 2012}}
Prior to the release of Glassheart, Lewis revealed that the album content would be very different from that which is present on Spirit and Echo, stating that although it would be "experimental", it would still have a "classic" sound.{{cite web|last=Love|first=Ryan|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a304297/leona-lp-has-different-classic-sound.html|title=Leona: 'LP has different, classic sound'|publisher=Digital Spy (Hearst Magazines UK)|date=17 February 2011|access-date=19 July 2012}} "Trouble", the lead single featuring Childish Gambino, combines elements of hip hop and trip hop music genres.{{cite web|last=Love|first=Ryan|url=http://www.digitalspy.com/music/interviews/a338818/leona-lewis-interview-i-want-to-give-people-the-best-of-me.html|title=Leona Lewis interview: 'I want to give people the best of me'|work=Digital Spy|date=6 September 2011|access-date=3 April 2011}}{{cite news|last=Hammersmith|first=Andrei|url=http://www.metro.co.uk/showbiz/908818-leona-lewiss-new-song-reveals-shes-trouble-for-her-lovers|title=Leona Lewis' New Song Reveals She's Trouble for her Lovers|work=The Metro|date=16 August 2012|access-date=16 August 2012|archive-date=23 December 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20121223103022/http://www.metro.co.uk/showbiz/908818-leona-lewiss-new-song-reveals-shes-trouble-for-her-lovers|url-status=dead}} It was also co-written by Lewis with Emeli Sandé, amongst others. Sandé co-wrote two other tracks called "I to You" and "Sugar". She also wrote a track entitled "Mountains" which was originally planned to be included on Glassheart{{'}}s track list, however Sandé decided to reclaim the song and include on her debut album, Our Version of Events.

Lewis reunited with Tedder on the track "Glassheart", a dubstep inspired song.{{cite web|last=Rubenstein|first=Jenna Hally|url=http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/09/21/leona-lewis-glassheart-new-song/|title=New Song: Leona Lewis, 'Glassheart'|work=MTV Buzzworthy|publisher=Viacom|date=21 September 2012|access-date=22 October 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121027204115/http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2012/09/21/leona-lewis-glassheart-new-song/|archive-date=27 October 2012}} Lewis co-wrote the song "Shake You Up" with Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and Olivia Waithe.
