Pre-order our Cheryl Cole August 2014 issue - in shops 3 July - and get it delivered to your door

Cheryl Cole is back. Following a two-year hiatus Cole is releasing her new, and ninth, solo single ‘Crazy Stupid Love’, on 20 July. She's also going to be back on our screens for X Factor later this year. Oh, and she will be ELLE’s August cover star… see, back with a bang.

We’re excited for the new track as Cole has reunited with songwriter Wayne Wilkins who penned her debut solo single, ‘Fight For This Love’ and has got ELLE favourite Tinie Tempah on the recording too. A new single, of course, means a new album, which has yet to be named and will be released in the autumn.

‘I can’t remember being so excited to be releasing new music,’ says Cheryl. ‘After taking some time out I feel brand new and I had such a special time making this record.’

Thankfully your ears will not have to wait until July to hear the song, its radio debut is happening this coming Monday 2 June. Be sure to bookmark VEVO on your iPad too as the video will be premiered there on 9 June.
