This song, 'Pretty Little Thing' is, I suspect, still tied to her prior contract. I know, and agree, that we're all here for the music, but a bit of backstory is necessary to make any freakin' sense of lots of things about what HASN'T happened for this young rockstar. First, Simon co-signed her to his SYCO Music and Arista in December 2018. In January 2019 this show occurred, with Courtney being invited back to perform on Champions. She was SHOW-READY because she was kicking her music career into high gear and Simon signed her up as youngest performer on the BIG stage for the Woodstock 50 anniversary festival planned for the 50th anniversary weekend of original Woodstock later in 2019. BUT Woodstock '99 was SUCH a disaster that the organizers of '50 were fighting an uphill battle. Venue changes, mismanagement, finances, lots of rumors and reports, but by late July, iirc, the word went out, Woodstock 50 was cancelled. Then, Simon decided to get out of the failing music biz (smart dinosaur fleeing the devastation of the 'asteroid' hit, the digital revolution that started really taking off with WWW and napster just after the turn of the century). Apparently Simon rode it down until he decided it was time to abandon ship and move on the greener pastures in, <wtf?> REALITY TV?!?! <ugh!>. Whatever.... SYCO Music then proceeded, as pandemic unfurled, to ghost their remaining artists and then dissolved with no announcement and no warning apparently, from reports I've read/heard about artists discovering the situation from network business news. Quite the surprise, apparently. Things got COMPLICATED, between pandemic restrictions, trying to remote work with Arista in USA from her home in UK, and apparently some other rough patches, judging from her original music created or finished during this period which she shared 'snippets' of on TikTok and KZbin 'Shorts' tab on her channel, including contractual disputes, her NEED to get her original music out to her huge viral fan base, and apparently both some relationship issues (personal/professional/both?) and someone body-shaming her as she grew up into the young woman her parents' genetics determined in large part (apparently, if I got the rumor right, somebody female wanted her to be another Twiggy and model?? idk). Fans got frustrated as she passed on to them what SHE was being told: "Soon!" By the time pandemic turned into our 'new normal', the tens of millions of fans were gone, the Billions of views disappeared, as did the original AGT recordings of her performances, and a 'faithful few' core of tens of thousands kept watch, appreciating and replaying her performances and YT 'Reactions' vids about her performances...and here we are, trying to get back her audience and get her career GOING. Her contract ended in December 2022 and she refused to sign on with same team again, deciding to DO IT HER WAY. This is one HARD-WORKING young lady. Thus, we have four original singles released in 2023, each a few months apart, and music videos for each, usually a month after initial release to streaming services and YT audio/visualizer vid, like this one for her latest original, Monsters: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXW5lGupqLWYnZY Sorry to run on so long, but it's truly amazing what this young lady appears to have gone through as she grew from a shy 14 year old into today's badass (but still private and a tad shy when she can be herself, as seen when she does interviews) young rockstar with a LOVELY voice, gorgeous falsetto, and of course the transplanted soul copy of 60-year-old Tina Turner melded with James Brown, Janice Joplin, Etta James, Mick Jagger (who learned from the same teachers, she just studied via KZbin, whereas he was there back then). and the Beatles. OLD SCHOOL!

Notice when she went down in front of the judges, shw high five's everyone but Howie who got a fist bump/ Sony was sitting on Courtney's talents limiting her to covers not original music.. Right niw she's an independent and uses gofundme to get fan donations to record her music.
