In addition to Leona Lewis, Simon Cowell's label, Syco, was home to One Direction, Olly Murs, Little Mix, and other musicians who shot to fame through "X Factor." However, Lewis told BBC that as the label expanded, the attention her career received was cut back. "It was amazing at first because it was very intimate and there wasn't [sic] a lot of people working for it ... Then it grew and grew which is great for them, but for me, it wasn't so great," she explained.
The relationship between the two seemed to keep Lewis in limbo about whether she wanted to stay or leave. She penned down an explanation that she posted on her socials: "Like most relationships, we had our good times and our bad, [and] I will always be grateful for what we shared and the lessons I learned. After several years, I thought about leaving over and over again. I was terrified about walking away from a somewhat secure relationship even though I knew that we were no longer right for each other and at times even bad for each other. However, I clung to the safety net I had grown so attached to ... " she told The Independent.
