She told radio station Capital FM: 'The album, yeah, is that weird - playing it on repeat?
'I want to share it now. I've had some of the songs for a year or longer.'
One track, 'Craziest Things', feature's Cheryl's manager, Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am. It reportedly describes 'the story of a couple in a volatile relationship.'
Revealing the track listing for the album earlier on Thursday, Cheryl Tweeted: "Sooo Happy I FINALLY get to show you the Album Artwork.. You like ? :D #AMillionLights.. Booyyaa.. (sic).'
She was also forced to deny this week that she is being lined up to be the fourth judge on American Idol.
Cheryl - who was famously axed from the US version of The X Factor last year after just four episodes - was said to be wanted by producers of the show to join Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler on the panel.
Producers had reportedly made Cheryl a multi-million dollar offer to join the show - the direct rival of The X Factor USA but she has thoroughly DENIED the rumours saying there is 'no truth to it' whatsoever.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: 'It will be interesting to see how Jennifer Lopez deals with another beautiful woman sitting alongside her.'
It was also claimed that Cheryl, 28, could actually replace Jennifer, who has recently hinted she may quit the show after two years on the panel.
The mother-of-two told the Ellen DeGeneres show; 'Now this is my second year - I don't know if I can go for a third year. I miss doing other things.
'It really does lock you down, which was nice the first year with the babies being three, but now they're getting more mobile, they're about to go into school ... so I just don't know.'
Bosses were said to be willing to pay Cheryl in the region of $5m to $10m, compared to Jennifer's $15m to $20m.
Cheryl - who worked on the UK X Factor for three series, with her acts winning twice - was dumped from the US X Factor by boss Simon Cowell after he claimed she didn't look comfortable in her new role.
She was replaced by Nicole Scherzinger, who was axed by Simon after the first series.

Artwork evoking the summer season on display at the Bettye Clark Cannon Gallery - MLive.com
"Summer in the Gallery," which runs until June 30, features pieces that evoke the season and that were created by five local artists: Linda Busse, Sheila Passenier, Richard Thompson, Ann Trowbridge and Elizabeth Reynders.
The pieces on display include watercolor and oil paintings, photographs and pastels, according to Polly Doctor, who organized the exhibit. She said the artwork featured a "mixture" of subjects.
"There are some portraits," she said. "It's a lot of landscapes and there are, of course, some still life with the photography."
Doctor added that the five artists are displaying their work in the gallery for the first time, although they have shown work in other galleries in the area.
All the artists' work will be on sale.
The Bettye Clark Cannon Gallery is located on the second floor of the Hilt Building, inside the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts, 425 W. Western Ave.
Visitors can view the exhibit Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with extended hours on show nights. Admission to the exhibit is free.
The gallery will also host a free "Meet the Artists" reception on June 7 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Doctor said the reception was a chance for the public to engage the artists.
"It's just an opportunity for our guests to meet the artist and ask questions about their work," she said.
Light refreshments will be served at the reception. There will also be a cash bar.

i know its not only Cheryl but i wish we could have something like 20 songs on an album like back in the day. - kay, sheffield, 25/5/2012 22:05------------I'd usually agree with you. When it comes to Cheryl, though, I'm guessing the fewer the songs, the better!
