“M.I.A” is the lead single off of Cher Lloyd’s third studio album currently titled with the placeholder name ‘CL3’. Cher teased the single just a few days before announcing it by removing all posts on her social media platforms and changing her layout to all pink color. Soon after letter by letter, Cher posted “M.I.A” with each letter being posted every 4 hours. The single was released on October 11th almost one year after 2018’s “None Of My Business”. In the song, Cher talks about wanting to escape a bad party. In an interview with “Billboard” Cher said…

“This song is a mood, it’s about capturing a feeling, I wanted the video to mirror exactly that. I wanted the vibe to feel playful, expressive, and fun. Every look gives a great insight into who I am and my personality.”

The song has since achieved over 10M streams across all platforms and charted in at 58 in Belgium.
