I'm just shocked. It's unbelievable. I feel like my dream has come true, the dream I've been dreaming since a little girl has come true. "There were points I thought, 'You know what, I don't know if this is going to happen'. "But with the help from my friends and my family, they all kept telling me to believe in myself and keep on doing it and I did and now I'm here and thank you so much to them."
This girl is probably fifty times better than any other contestant you have ever had, so you have a big responsibility to make the right record with her," he told Simon Cowell at the final.

I first discovered her on YouTube. OneRepublic had signed our deal but we weren't doing a lot so I was trying to do as much songwriting as possible. When I saw Leona, I knew nothing about X Factor and I didn't care either - I just knew I wanted to write her first song. She's a supreme perfectionist and knows her own voice better than any artist I've ever worked with. She's like a scientist when it comes to working in the studio. When I was writing Bleeding Love, I was very much in the mindset of what if it was 1990 and I was Prince, where would that lead the melody?
I co-wrote it with Jesse McCartney; he was on some Prince tip. Jesse had just had a huge hit -- 'Beautiful Soul' -- and I was going in with him and I felt like I didn't have it. I went back in my room, said, 'I'm gonna be an hour late to the session, what if we just did something simple?' I sat in my apartment in West L.A. and said, 'What would Prince do?' So I sang over an organ patch and had the entire verse and chorus of the song. We finished the song, verse and choruses that day. His label heard it, and from the top down said, 'It's not a hit.' So we went through three different keys to get it right for Leona Lewis. She killed it, and the rest is history.
Her single "Bleeding Love" was released digitally on Dec. 18 and for the week ending Dec. 23 it sold nearly 6,000 downloads according to Nielsen SoundScan.

'I had a young female singer, Leona Lewis, so I thought: what would Prince do? I wanted a song that wasn't simply ear-candy, so I combined a hard, gritty drum beat with a beautiful chord sequence.

We’d been asked to do covers and we had toyed with Bleeding Love but we’d always gone with other songs. Then me and Murph were in Paris at the same time so we took three bottles of red wine in with us and did it in eight hours. “MTV rang and said Leona Lewis can’t play so can you do your version instead. She said she really liked the new dimension we brought to it,...
It's certainly debatable whether Lewis will be the Mariah Carey for the new millennium, but the fact is, you could swap her for Mimi on this song, and it would remain exactly the same ... which is as big a testament to the British "X-Factor" champ as you can possible get. Where she goes from here is anybody's guess, though it will be hard for her to match the swooning mastery she pulled off on "Love."
