Lloyd had previously applied for The X Factor (when the minimum age was lower), singing ballads, but did not make it to the audition stage.

She sang of "Cooler Than Me" at the judges' houses but was unable to finish the song because of tonsillitis.

This was the first time Lloyd did not rap in her appearance, and Cowell even called it "the performance of the series." Lloyd performed "Empire State of Mind" in week five, but the judges reported that after the previous week's disappointment, they were dissatisfied. However, they agreed that she redeemed herself with her interpretation of "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" mixed with "Mockingbird," by Elton John and Eminem, respectively, in week 6. Lloyd was in the bottom two for the first time after her appearance of "Imagine," but Cowell, Cole, and Walsh saved her in the final showdown. Lloyd sang of "Girlfriend" and "Walk This Way" in the ensuing week. Both performances were praised by the judges, and she was saved by the public vote the next night, guaranteeing her place in the semifinals. Lloyd performed "Nothin' on You" and "Love the Way You Lie" in the semifinals and was in last two with Mary Byrne in the bottom two. She was saved by the judges once more and moved to the final. She performed a mashup of "The Clapping Song" and "Get Ur Freak On" in the final, followed by a duet with will.i.am, which was a mash-up of "Where Is the Love?" "I Gotta Feeling."
