Cheryl is hacked for the second time this year as 'new songs' appear on singer's YouTube account

Cheryl has been hacked for the second time this year, with 'new music' uploaded to the star's social media accounts. 

The Fight For This Love singer, 42, last released a track in 2019 and has focused in recent years on her son Bear, nine.

But this week fans noticed that the star's account has three new additions in the 'Releases' tab. 

The new albums are titled Taking Care, Inner Peace and I Miss Who I Was and feature alongside legitimate hit records. 

A source told The Sun: 'No one quite knows how these new songs have landed on Cheryl's official account. It is safe to say that the music isn't connected to her.

'Ultimately, Cheryl's fans know and understand that her focus is being a mum to Bear and not on making a return to solo music anytime soon.'

Following the YouTube uploads, one confused fan wrote under one of the clips: 'Whoever hacked Cheryl's account, karma's a cruel mistress and your greed shall come back upon you threefold.'

Another joked: 'Cheryl Cole really went in a new direction with this sound.'

A representative for Cheryl has been contacted by Daily Mail for comment. 

In January Cheryl's  was hacked after a 'new' song claiming to be performed by her appeared on the official artist page. 

Fans were left confused as the 'new' single, which runs for five minutes and 48 seconds, does not include her vocals.

Called 'Yesus Kau Baik Bagiku', which translates to 'Jesus You Are Good To Me', it instead features a woman singing in Indonesian.

The calming, religious track is also a far cry from Cheryl's typical fast-paced and upbeat pop songs fans are used to hearing.

It's understood the streaming platform quickly deleted the song from Cheryl's page and the actual singer on the track in question has the same name as the hitmaker, and is called Cheryl Tuasuun.

Cheryl hit pause on her music career after welcoming son Bear, choosing to focus on motherhood and TV work. She returned to the stage in 2024 for the Girls Aloud reunion tour, in memory of her late bandmate Sarah Harding.

The star has largely kept out of the spotlight since the tragic death of Bear's father Liam Payne two years ago.

The Daily Mail revealed this week that Liam's nine-year-old son will inherit all of his £21million fortune.

The entire estate left by the star after his death in a fall from a third-floor hotel balcony two years ago will pass to his only child, it emerged this month.

Newly released probate documents lodged with the High Court detail how the pop star’s estate can be used immediately to ‘benefit’ Bear Grey Payne.

The new documents also revalue the size of Liam’s estate and discloses that it is worth a net figure of just over £21million, around £2.3million less than its given value on May 1 last year.

Liam, 31, did not leave a will when he fell to his death at the Casa Sur Hotel in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires on October 16, 2024.

As he died intestate and was not married or in a civil partnership his only son was always due to inherit everything when he became 18 under UK probate rules.

Cheryl and music industry lawyer Richard Bray were named as administrators of Liam's estate in a grant of probate issued by the probate registry in Newcastle on May 1, 2025.
