Last Night (Lucy Spraggan song)

"Last Night" is a song by English musician Lucy Spraggan, from her self-released album Top Room at the Zoo (2011). The song entered the UK Singles Chart at number 70 after performing the song at The X Factor auditions which was shown on 25 August 2012. Following a rule change regarding X Factor contestants, it was pulled from iTunes but early sales enabled it to finish at number 11 for the week. A new version of the song "Last Night (Beer Fear)" was released in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2013 as the second single from her debut studio album Join the Club (2013)

Background
Spraggan performed the song at The X Factor auditions; she was put through to bootcamp after performing the track. Judge Louis Walsh suggested that the song could go to number one in the charts. Shortly after the audition was screened, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number 70. The song then peaked to number 2 on iTunes. However, it was soon removed from iTunes by request of The X Factor producers due to an X Factor rule change. She was told to take down her album and informed that all other X Factor contestants this year have also been banned until the show is over, in order to give them the same level of exposure. Steve Anderson of The Independent suggested that it was removed because it was challenging the 2011 X Factor victors, Little Mix, for the number one spot.
