Pixie Lott is the third studio album by English recording artist Pixie Lott, released on 1 August 2014 by Virgin EMI Records. Lott began recording the album in mid-2012, citing Motown as an influence on the album. "Nasty" was released as the album's lead single on 7 March 2014. The second single, "Lay Me Down", was released on 25 July 2014.
In June 2012, Lott revealed plans to record a Motown-influenced album. "I'm going to be heading to New York to work with the guys who did the original Motown records in the sixties to make a new album soon", Lott told the Daily Star. The album was primarily recorded in London and New York City, as well as in Miami.
The album was finished by June 2013, when Lott stated that she hoped to release the first single in October, and the album would follow in 2014. During a Google+ Hangout on 2 December 2013, Lott announced that her third album would be titled Pixie Lott, along with the accompanying artwork. She explained to Billboard that the album would be self-titled because this one "represents me the most out of all of my albums", adding, "My last album had some dance tracks and some soul tracks, but this one is more centered."
In November 2013, Lott unveiled a preview of the music video for the single "Nasty". In early December, it was confirmed that "Nasty", which was originally recorded by Christina Aguilera as a duet with CeeLo Green for the 2010 film Burlesque, would serve as the album's lead single. Released on 7 March 2014, the single reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart and number forty-three on the Irish Singles Chart.
