SKYSCRAPER
by SAM BAILEY


Originally recorded by US pop star Demi Lovato, Skyscraper was a tender, emotive ballad that spoke to Demi's well-publicised struggles with addiction in the public eye. But when former prison guard Sam Bailey won the tenth series of The X Factor in 2013, Skyscraper became a song about overcoming diversity and making your dreams come true. Debuting at Number 1 and claiming that year's Official Christmas Number 1, it was Sam Bailey's first and only chart-topper.
