Singer Charlotte Church has admitted that she "hated" her 2005 hit 'Crazy Chick' because it was forced by her label and meant nothing to her.

The talented vocalist recently released a brand new EP entitled 'O N E' and explained to Digital Spy that she has more creative control now that she understands the industry more fully because she's learned hard lessons over the years:

"I'm more stronger in my conviction of what I want to do. When you're first trying to write, people tell you, 'That's no good, it's pretty s**t really'. It knocks you for six so you generally tend to go along with it."

"That was the case with 'Crazy Chick'. I presented an album that I had been writing with different people when I was 16/17, to which the record company said, 'It's alright, it's not great, so we'll slap a couple of singles on it and get it out'. I was furious and then it was 'Crazy Chick' and this, that and the other - so I hated that song from its conception."

She added that she didn't like how her last album was full of 'throwaway pop', which she won't ever go back to: "I understood it was a pop hit, but I hated it because it didn't mean anything - I don't think it helped anyone with their emotional problems - and it was just a bit of throwaway pop, which I wasn't about."
