Oath

"Oath" is a song by English singer Cher Lloyd featuring vocals of American rapper Becky G. It was released on October 2, 2012, as the second single from the American version of Lloyd's debut studio album, Sticks & Stones, and the fourth single overall.

Background
"Oath" was originally written by Rebbeca Gomez but was brought to Cher Lloyd by Dr. Luke. It was later modified by songwriters Ammar Malik and Emily Wright, along with help from producers Dr. Luke, Cirkut and Robopop, for inclusion on Lloyd's second studio album, slated for release in 2013. However, when it was revealed that Lloyd's debut album, Sticks & Stones, was set to be revised for the American and Australian markets, Lloyd's producers decided to use the track as one of the release's lead singles, and Lloyd asked Gomez to appear on the track with her to sing one of the verses. Thus, "Oath" was released as the album's second single, following "Want U Back", in both the United States and Australia, and also featured on the version of the album released in Japan. The track itself premiered on New York radio station Z100 FM on 7 September 2012. In promotion of the single, Lloyd performed it live solo on Today and ''Live! with Kelly and Michael and with Becky G on The X Factor USA'', in front of her mentor and manager, Simon Cowell.
