In another track, titled Fire, she refers to 'drowning in quicksand' singing, 'I'm set free. I begin to spread my wings. I'm happy and I've earned it.'
The source added: 'Simon and Syco wanted to have full control of her music, but Island have let her call the shots.
'She had already written most of the album with her songwriting partner Toby Gad before she signed the deal with Island. She knew Syco would never have let her release these songs.
'But Leona doesn't want to slag anyone off in interviews or on the telly - she wants to let the music do the talking.'
