Messy Little Raindrops is the second studio album by English singer Cheryl Cole, released on 29 October 2010 by Fascination Records.[1] The project is the follow-up to Cole's multi-platinum debut solo album 3 Words (2009), following seven successful years as a member of girl group Girls Aloud. Recorded in Los Angeles and London, Cheryl mainly worked with Wayne Wilkins, who previously produced Cole's number one debut single "Fight for This Love".

The album has a dance-pop sound much like Cole's previous album. It received generally mixed reviews from contemporary music critics. It was preceded by the lead single, "Promise This", which peaked at number one in Ireland and the UK.

The album debuted at number one in the UK becoming her second to do so, and at number two in Ireland. On 19 August 2011 the album was certified Platinum by BPI, with shipments in the UK in the excess of 300,000.[2]
