She has taken time away from the spotlight to focus on her beloved nine-month-old baby son Bear.

But after three years away from the charts, Cheryl has heralded her return to the music scene and registered a new track called 'That's My Song' online.

The 34-year-old songstress has entrusted her pal Nicola Roberts to help her with the highly anticipated comeback, with the Girls Aloud bandmate being named one of the writers on the song.

The girlfriend of One Direction's Liam Payne teased fans earlier this month, confirming she had spent time in the studios with Nicola and Afrowaves stars Team Salut. 

The former Girls Aloud star replied to the Afrobeat trio on Twitter after they thanked her for making their 'year' at their December recording session.

Team Salut wrote: 'Todays session has been the highlight of our year @NicolaRoberts @CherylOfficial saaaafe quick maths (sic)'

And Cheryl replied: 'Thank you for a great session you guys are amazing .. quick maths (sic)'.

A source told The Sun Online: 'Cheryl is back in the studio and music is her main priority for 2018.'

And Afrobeat - who have worked on tracks with the likes of Rita Ora, Emeli Sande and Yxng Bane in the past - wrote back: 'Lol yh man was fun. Still dont know how you did it, or maybe it was the coffee @NicolaRoberts we gonna get your bongos for the next one (sic)'.

The former 'X Factor' judge has kept a relatively low profile since she fell pregnant with Bear last year, but it looks like she's about to make a huge comeback on the music scene.

Speaking to BANG Showbiz, Nicola, 32, said of her time penning lyrics for her pal: 'I'm writing for Cheryl, and also for myself, so hopefully those songs are good enough to make it out into the world.'

Cheryl spoke to ITV's Lorraine back in October about her reasons why she took a music hiatus.

She said: 'It has been so long, my fans are very patient. I am receiving songs and music and stuff a the moment.

'I've got the luxury of being able to spend time with my newborn child and I'm going to take that for what it is, a lot of mothers have to rush back after giving birth. I don't think it's fair.' 

The Call My Name hitmaker has an impressive five number one singles under her belt.

The brunette beauty released her last studio album 'Only Human' in 2014.
