Diana Vickers has unveiled a short clip of her new track 'Boy In Paris'.

The former X Factor contestant uploaded the sample onto her official Soundcloud page today (January 24).

The track features a heavy electronic drum beat and and lyrics such as: "Dancing in the dark with the boy I met in Paris, sitting in the front row of my radio show."

Speaking about the song on her tumblr page, Vickers said:

"'Boy in Paris' is a track I worked on with the very talented David Gamson (who, in case you didn't know, was in an awesome band from the 80s, Scritti Politti!) What I love about it is that it reminds me of a kind of early Eurythmics sound with all the dark synyths but as a package is also a big pop song. I've worked with David Gamson on a lot of the album and I think this song gives a real flavour of where I've gone sonically with my new music."

"The song has a big connection with me, as I wrote it on true events. Paris has been a big part of my year this year on a lot of levels and I can say that I have truly fallen head over heels for the place. In fact, I just came back from Paris last week shooting the album and single shots, and I can honestly say it was the best shoot I ever done on every level."

Vickers had previously announced two new live UK dates - Manchester's Ruby Lounge on February 8 and London's Cargo Club a day later.
