"3 Words" is a song by British recording artist Cheryl Cole. The song is both the opening and title song from debut studio album. It was released in the UK and Ireland on 21 December 2009 by Fascination Records and later in 2010 by Universal Music, sometimes serving as the lead single for 3 Words. The uptempo synth and dance music-inspired pop song was written by Cole and George Pajon. It was also written and produced by will.i.am who has guest vocals on the song. 3 Words was cited by Cole as her favourite song from the album for being different to what people expected.
