Cheryl Cole is Cruzin'

The singer, who has a massive following in the US, was contacted early on by her manager Will.i.am, who is a big fan of the Londoner.

A source said: "They've had a great friendship ever since he wrote Stand Up for her.

"Cheryl says the new song he has written is one of the best she's got on her new album. She might even release it as her first single."

Cheryl's also been working with Eminem producer Alex Da Kid on new material.

The songs have to be better than that French bit in Promise This.
