Former glamour model Katie Price had been back in the studio writing new music before her sudden chart success with 2017 track I Got U – and she’s set to release a brand-new track with an X Factor legend
Katie Price is planning a pop comeback after her 2017 dance track I Got U topped the iTunes chart this week and also landed a spot in the Big Top 40.
The former glamour model, 47, has spoken openly in the past about her wishes to be a pop star, and now that she is having a huge resurgence in popularity following a huge social media campaign on TikTok, Katie is reportedly hoping to make music her full-time job after feeling the love and support from the nation.
Mum-of-five Katie has set her sights on making more music and has even been spotted returning to the studio after she beat off the likes of Chappell Roan, Lewis Capaldi and Benson Boone with her track I Got U, eight years after the dance-pop song was first released.

Written by former X Factor contestant Craig Colton, the song was Katie’s attempt to launch herself as a singer again, having previously attempted to represent the United Kingdom during the Eurovision Song Contest.
During an appearance on Loose Women ahead of its release, Katie revealed that her management team had wanted nothing to do with it and instead told her it wouldn’t be a success. However, things might just be about to turn around for Katie after her current success in the charts.
Katie has reportedly been already ‘working behind the scenes’ in a bid to release new music with the help of music producer Rick Live.
The former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! first met the music mogul back 2010 and they have gone on to work together on songs including Hurricane and Heartbroken.
Opening up about their latest collaboration and how proud of Katie he is, Rick told The Sun that there’s hopefully many more exciting adventures ahead for Katie.
“This was all completely unexpected. My phone started blowing up and I had about 60 missed calls and a load of text messages from people saying ‘you’re back in the charts’,” Rick said of the former glamour model’s return to the charts.
“It’s mad. Katie’s absolutely buzzing about it, we both are.” The music producer went on to reveal that Katie is working on a brand-new track already and he has hopes for former X Factor star Sam Bailey to collaborate on a track with her.
“We’re finishing up the next song now,” he confirmed. “Sound-wise it’s all done. The vocals have all been laid down by a studio session singer that I’ve got. Katie’s currently learning the music now and then we have studio sessions booked the week after next for her to lay down her vocals.”
The music producer added that he and Katie had already been planning the comeback before she shot to the top of the charts and reached number 3 in the iTunes charts.
Katie’s next single is set to be released later this month and she has titled the track ‘Broken’. Rick said of Katie’s new single: “For her it’s about being broken, but putting herself back together again. Every time things have gone wrong, whether she’s broken her legs or her relationship’s gone sideways or her exes are blowing up again, she’s like, ‘no, don’t worry about it. I’ll reset. I’ll put myself back together again. It’s fine.'”
Last month, Katie’s first husband, Peter Andre, issued a blistering statement against the star and hit out at Katie’s “repeated lies” following Katie’s claims that she hadn’t been invited to their daughter, Princess’s 18th birthday as it was being filmed and she didn’t fit the brand.
Then, Alex Reid, Katie’s second husband, whom she married in 2010 and divorced just one year later, shared a bombshell video. The clip, believed to have been filmed in late 2020, showed a then-bankrupt Price, counting huge stacks of cash, while boasting that her bankruptcy had been extended.
In the clip, she claimed Reid had been demanding more money before branding Peter’s second wife, Dr Emily, and their children “irrelevant”.
Since the statement from Peter and Alex’s video, Katie’s loyal fans have been rallying around her to show their support – which has driven her to the charts. Fans have been downloading and streaming I Got U on all major platforms, as well as sharing the song on apps such as TikTok and Instagram, boosting its popularity, with it also going viral.
