In 2002, she applied with the song Have You Ever on the British talent show Popstars: The Rivals (German: Popstars: Das Duell ). Ultimately, she was elected along with four other candidates by the jury, consisting of Pete Waterman , Louis Walsh and Geri Halliwell , on November 30, 2002 in the band called Girls Aloud.

The group's debut single, Sound of the Underground , was a number-one hit on the UK charts and number-one Christmas in 2002. Girls Aloud set the record for the fastest number-one spot after starting one Group one. In May 2003 the group released their debut album Sound of the Underground , which went platinum in the UK.

To date, Girls Aloud have sold over 10 million CDs worldwide. In 2007 they got an entry on the Guinness World Records as "Most Successful Reality TV Group".

In July 2009 Girls Aloud announced that they would be taking a break to devote themselves to solo projects.

2009–2010: 3 words

In 2008, Cole made recordings for the first time without Girls Aloud when she contributed the vocals to the single Heartbreaker by the US rapper will.i.am. The song reached number 4 in the UK charts. In the music video for the song, Cole played a street dancer. She had previously learned street dance while recording the ITV2 series The Passions of Girls Aloud .

In April 2009, Cole stated that she was working on solo projects and her debut album. Her debut album 3 Words was released in her home country on October 26th, 2009. For this she worked again with will.i.am. Fraser T. Smith, Syience and the Danish producers Soulshock & Karlin, singer-songwriters Taio Cruz , Wayne Wilkins and Steve Kipner took care of the production. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and London . The album is influenced by contemporary R&B , dance-pop , house and pop music . Cruz was asked to write two songs for Cole's album. One of the two songs was Break Your Heart , which Cole refused. Therefore, Cruz recorded the song himself and was later able to land a number one hit in the United States. She named Three Syllables , Unveiled and the theme song 3 Words , a duet with Will.i.am, as her favorite songs on the album. For the theme song, she took inspiration from David Guetta's and Kelly Rowland's number one hit, When Love Takes Over .

The album stayed at number 1 on the UK album charts for two weeks and became their first solo number one album in the UK. On November 6, 2009, her debut album was awarded platinum there. At the end of October 2009 the title Fight for This Love was released as a pre-release . Her debut single reached number 1 in the UK and Ireland . The single was the fastest-selling single of 2009. The single also went platinum. Fight for This Love was number 2 of the best-selling songs in 2009. The song became a top ten hit in many European countries, and in several countries the song even reached number one on the charts. The song was also available in Germany since February 26, 2010 and was the theme song of the fifth season of Germany's Next Topmodel . In Germany the song reached number 4 in the single charts . In Switzerland it was awarded gold. According to Cole, the song was released as the first single because "the connection with the song was so fascinating". Many music critics praised Fight for This Love and predicted Cole's international breakthrough. The song 3 Words , a duet with will.i.am., was selected as the second release . This reached number 4 in the British charts. In Ireland, the song made it to number 7. In Australia , the song reached number 5 and was awarded platinum. Parachute was released as its third single in late 2009 and reached number five in England and Ireland. It was Cole's third top five hit in the two countries. From May to July 2010 Cole appeared in the opening act for the European concerts of "The END World Tour" of the Black Eyed Peas .

The first single, Promise This , was released on October 24, 2010 and was her second number one hit in the UK and Ireland. She sings some parts of the song in French, which is supposed to relate to the children's song Alouette .

The main producer of the album was Wayne Wilkins, but Cole also worked again with Will.i.am as well as with JR Rotem , Starsmith and Al Shux. Guest contributions on the songs came from, among others, August Rigo, Dizzee Rascal , Travie McCoy and Will.i.am. Cheryl took the album title from a line of text from the song Raindrops . Cole said of it, "When it rains, everything gets fresh [...] that sounds hopeful." Like her debut album, Messy Little Raindrops was highly praised by music critics. Allmusic's Jon O'Brien , who gave the album four stars out of five, commented: “ Messy Little Raindrops is such a stunning pop album that it will propel you [Cole] into the pop premier league; the best are the songs Promise This , Amnesia and Happy Tears ”. Virgin Media's Johnny Dee describes Messy Little Raindrops as a "family-friendly album." The Polydor Records label worked with MediaCom to find out marketing strategies with which they could advertise the album, for example a Facebook page was created especially for the album .
