American singer Nicole Scherzinger, famous in the UK as an X-factor judge, is back with a new single.<br /><br />‘Your Love’ is an apt title for the 36-year-old who is also known for her relationship with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton.<br /><br />“For this video specifically, I wanted to be very strong and fit and in shape. Not only physically but mentally. This is a new chapter for me. I’ve cleared my schedule for the rest of the year to focus only on this music. I’ve got this album that I feel very strong about, this new sound coming out, new single,” she said.<br /><br />The former member of the US girl group Pussycat Dolls says it has taken till this stage of her career to feel truly confident – and making the video helped.<br /><br />“I felt like I was an athlete training for the Olympics when I was getting ready for the video. I tried new things that I’d never done before, like cross fit training, soul fit training, which is just a little bit more ‘cardio’, endurance version of cross fit training. I tried all different styles of yoga, sculpting yoga, hot yoga, spinning, hiking. I’ve not always been the best hiker, now I’m a pretty good hiker. And lots of squats with weights. I prepared. I pushed myself.”<br /><br />Scherzinger describes the song as “fun,” “flirty”, “playful” and “liberating” – and challenges those who doubt that it was hard work.<br /><br />“I really pushed myself for the video. So people are like ‘Oh you’re rolling around on the beach.’ I’m like ‘Look, I worked very hard for that!’. I was making sure to eat lots of proteins and staying away from the gluten sugars.”<br /><br />Nicole Scherzinger has had problems with bulimia in the past; her private life has had its ups and downs.<br /><br />But with a stable relationship and a new worldwide deal with Sony Music she has reason to be optimistic.<br /><br />An album featuring ‘Your Love’ is due out later this year.
