X Factor star Lucy Spraggan has revealed that she has written hundreds of songs in her career, and not all are amusing like her hit single 'Last Night (Beer Fear)'

Speaking to Entertainmentwise about her other material, Spraggan said that she likes to write from a realistic point of view, highlighting songs she has written about TV shows and the interet.

'I've got about 200 songs! I've got so many and people are saying you've got loads of funny stuff but I've also got deadly serious songs," Lucy said. 

Adding: 'I've got songs about knife crime, falling in love, Jeremy Kyle and Facebook.'

Spraggan, who wowed judges on the epiosde aired last weekend (Aug 25), already released an album in 2011 and the song she auditioned with, titled 'Last Night (Beer Fear'), was available to download immediately.

However, that has changed now with Spraggan updating her fans as to why they can no longer buy her music.

"Oh dear - not my call to make. Get it while you can," Spraggan Tweeted. Adding: "I've obliged because you've got to do what you've got to do to get somewhere in life."

Spraggan, who originally released the 'Top Room At The Zoo' album last year, saw fans flocking to purchase the record online after she wowed judges on the ITV reality show on Saturday (Aug 25).

'Last Night (Beer Fear)', the original song Spraggan performed for the X Factor judges, immediately jumped to number one on the iTunes track chart.

According to official chart data, Spraggan's album sold 1,056 copies after Saturday night. It had previously sold around 150 copies prior to the TV exposure.

'Beer Fear' could still chart this weekend, however, as a large number of legal downloads have already been purchased.
