"Joe McElderry has revealed that his new single &amp;#039;Ambitions&amp;#039; changed the direction of his debut album. The X Factor winner told Scott Mills Official that his LP had more slower songs on it before he recorded the track which has become his next release.  &amp;quot;It was going in a totally different direction before we got this song,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It was a lot of slower songs and it was kind of like, I was enjoying it but nothing was really grabbing my attention.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;Then we got this song and I was like, &amp;#039;Oh my god, I love it, I think it&amp;#039;s great&amp;#039;. Then we went into the studio and I assumed that the key would be changed, [but] the producer said, &amp;#039;Well actually we&amp;#039;re going to try it in this key&amp;#039;.  &amp;quot;But it worked out well and I found a totally different range of my voice and it took me on a different direction and I love it so much.&amp;quot;  The 19-year-old admitted that he is still nervous about the single, despite a positive response. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s got a great reaction, which I am really happy about,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;The video&amp;#039;s going to be out soon and all the promotion starts and it&amp;#039;s a really exciting time, but I am really nervous.&amp;quot; McElderry recently shot the video for &amp;#039;Ambitions&amp;#039; in Bulgaria and told Mills that he had a &amp;quot;cheeky routine&amp;quot; in the promo.  &amp;quot;Yea, there is a little dance routine,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;A cheeky routine which is great, which I really enjoyed doing. I was used to singing so many slow songs on The X Factor, which I don&amp;#039;t mind - I loved singing them - but I just thought, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m 19, I want to have a bit of fun on stage and I just needed a few fast songs&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; &amp;#039;Ambitions&amp;#039; is released on October 11, followed by the album Wide Awake on October 25. &amp;gt; Joe McElderry: &amp;#039;Album will be up tempo&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
