It became a trending sound on TikTok and saw Junior propelled into the spotlight on his own for the first time.
He soon signed his first record deal but in the months that followed, a number of delays appeared to stall the release of further tracks.
Now, the son of Peter Andre and Katie Price has revealed there have been "challenges" for the first time but that his music is still very much underway and in the pipeline.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Junior said: "I haven't been putting pressure on myself and I've been overcoming a couple of challenges.
"It's nothing that I can't beat but it will be good in due time.
"Don't sleep on me - trust me, it's coming hot!"
Junior later re-iterated he was focusing on "music and acting" going forward as well as teasing plans for his own business as well as a fragrance line.

Junior is no stranger to music being the son of Peter Andre.
Peter is best known for his hit single, Mysterious Girl, and has continued to release music ever since.
He revived his music career shortly before his split with wife Katie with the track, Behind Closed Doors.

Katie released further singles with 2010's Free To Love Again, her well-known 2017 song I Got U as well as follow-up track, Hurricane.
In recent years, she has begun to perform at various events and has toured the country with her singing show.
New details on Junior's music career comes as his sister Princess took to the spotlight for the first time in her own right too with her ITV2 series, The Princess Diaries.
The show follows his younger sister's life as she prepares to launch her own make-up line.
However, the show has been mixed in controversy after Princess' mother Katie claimed she was banned from being featured.

Katie was reportedly left hurt after being banned from filming amid concern that it could be detrimental to Princess' image to appear alongside her mother.
It led to the mum-of-five declaring that she wouldn't bother to watch the programme.

Love Islander ‘hard launches new girlfriend' on TikTok after hooking up on rival show – but fans slam ‘showmance'
ALL IT SEEMS? Love Islander 'hard launches new girlfriend' on TikTok after hooking up on rival show – but fans slam 'showmance' LOVE Island star Scott van der Sluis has fans convinced he's got a new girlfriend after another reality show stint – despite walking off from her on screen. The Welsh reality star has been keeping himself busy with a string of dating shows across the years, with the latest being Netflix's Perfect Match. 5 Scott and Juliette looked close as they danced together for a TikTok 5 The pair sparked a connection on Perfect Match – but their romance soon collapsed Advertisement 5 Despite ending the show on a bad note, the pair not look extremely close The series – which puts former reality stars into a house to compete in challenges and spark romantic connections with each other – saw Scott form a connection with Siesta Key's Juliette Porter, going on dates together and heavily flirting. However, their romance spectacularly blew up when Love Island USA's Carrington Rodriguez told him she had slated their connection to him, saying Scott was "too immature" for her. Rather than confront her, Scott and Carrington opted to immediately walk off the show together – in the process ensuring Juliette would be axed from the show as well, as you can only remain in the house if you're in a couple. Advertisement However, nearly a year after the show was filmed, it seems the pair have healed their connection, performing a TikTok together on Juliette's socials. Surrounded by other members of the Perfect Match cast, including Carrington, the duo were seen passionately lipsyncing to Beyoncé's Tyrant to each other outside a bar. With Juliette having a drink in her hand, she at one point pulls Scott's head to her chest, and he responds by grabbing her face, seemingly trying to pull in for a kiss she pulls away from. Although the TikTok was posted five days before the finale – which saw their dramatic fallout – fans are unconvinced that they're now a couple. Advertisement "after watching the finale and now seeing this, i'm just laughing so hard," wrote one. "Scott will do anything for attention," wrote a second, while a third said: "You deserve each other and I mean that in the worst way possible." However others thought they were "made to be a couple", with one noting: "They have to be dating as he's had a style upgrade". Love Island fans 'work out' show star is 'in talks for The Traitors series 3' after he accidentally drops massive clue "Please, I need them together," added a third. Scott is yet to confirm any new romance since the end of Perfect Match, which ended last week. Advertisement However, he has announced that he's "retiring" from dating shows after appearing on Love Island, Love Island USA, Love Island Games and now Perfect Match. Celebrating the finale, he wrote on Instagram: "Anywaysss after 4 TV shows, trips to Fiji, Mallorca and Mexico, and 2 years of incredible memories, it's finally time to say SCOTTISHA IS RETIRED. "Peace out people, hope you all enjoyed the journey. ✌️" 5 Their Perfect Match romance ended when Juliette said Scott was immature 5 Scott has revealed he is now 'retired' from reality dating shows

The Queen of Pop's birthday treat was shaped just like the must-have toy – only this one was wearing her conical bra outfit. 13 Madonna's Labubu birthday cake was the centrepiece at her birthday bash Credit: Instagram/B. Åkerlund 13 Madonna with kids and boyfriend, footballer Akeem Morris, at the Palio di Siena horse race Credit: LS I can reveal it was the centrepiece at her birthday celebrations last weekend, which took place at Sting and Trudie Styler's 16th century Tuscan villa. She rented out the property, which costs £18,000 for two nights and had a lavish dinner for her friends and family, as well as a firework display. A source said: 'Everyone turned out to support Madonna and she had an amazing trip. 'She loves to celebrate her birthday in Italy and this was one of the best yet. "She's been friends with Sting for years so I'm sure he will have sorted her out mates rates for his huge estate.' They spent Saturday at the Palio di Siena horse race before retreating to the villa to celebrate. She was joined by close pals and four of her six kids – Lourdes, Rocco, Stella and Estere – and her boyfriend, footballer Akeem Morris. Paying tribute to her on Instagram, Akeem used the Jamaican Patois term for 'best friend' when he wrote: 'Happy birthday my chargieeeee. 'I'll love you in this life and the next. And everyone after.' Madonna takes stage at comedy club with surprise standup gig as star stuns fans with foul-mouthed set and dig at Trump NEW MATERIAL-GIRL CAMILA BOWLS OVER FANS 13 Camila Cabello soaks up the local cuisine by having a bowl of ramen backstage Credit: instagram/camilacabello 13 Camila stuns in a nude latex corset over a netted dress Credit: Jordan Munns 13 The singer was headlining a festival in Japan Credit: Jordan Munns TEMPERATURES have been pushing 40 degrees in Japan and Camila Cabello raised them even further in this outfit. She wore a nude latex corset over a netted dress to headline a festival there over the weekend and soaked up the local cuisine by having a bowl of ramen backstage. Hot soup with noodles is the last thing I'd want during a heatwave, but each to their own. Camila wrote on Instagram: 'Thank you Osaka for bearing that insane heat with us and for generally being the cutest!' Fellow singer Tinashe – whose song No Broke Boys is at a new peak of No3 in the charts – was also on the line-up and admitted she struggled through her set. She commented: 'The heat was insane, I almost died.' Forget the ramen, it's time to find a cold shower instead. ALICIA: I WAS DESTINED TO ACT 13 Alicia Vikander kicks up her heels as she tells British Vogue she was destined to tread the boards Credit: Venetia Scott 13 I May Destroy You creator Michaela Coel on the cover of Vogue Credit: Venetia Scott ALICIA VIKANDER kicks up her heels as she tells British Vogue she was destined to tread the boards. In the Big Fashion Issue – which features I May Destroy You creator Michaela Coel on the cover – the Swedish Oscar winner reveals she's simply following in her mum Maria's footsteps. She says: 'Stage was what my mum did. It was what I grew up with. I watched Romeo and Juliet 24 times apparently. I had that feeling of being immersed in something completely. 'A bit like when kids watch cartoons over and over. I dreamt of being up there. That was what I visualised. I didn't even think of film – that was so far away, that wasn't real.' Alicia will be taking the leading role in The Lady From The Sea, which opens at the Bridge Theatre in London next month. The September issue of British Vogue is available from today. PINK'S JUST TOE PERFECT 13 Pink balances on one leg atop a table at a luxury villa Credit: tiktok/@pinkofficial PINK not only loves a risky stunt on stage . . . she does them on holiday too. The So What singer balanced on one leg atop a table at a luxury villa while grinning – and even holding a beer – as she took on the 'Nicki Minaj challenge' on TikTok. Pink, who turns 46 next month, looked surprisingly at ease as she balanced precariously in heels and a bikini as part of the viral social media trend. She wrote: 'Why my friends always wait till my third beer to make me do dumb s**t on TikTok.' Even so, she still looks cool doing it. CHERYL'S CREAM OF THE CROP 13 Nivea shared a teaser clip of Cheryl, which showed her reading a newspaper 13 Cheryl has signed a mega deal to promote the anti-ageing Nivea epigenetics range Credit: Splash 13 The teaser clip also showed her climbing some stairs CHERYL is back in the spotlight, after signing a mega money deal to become the new face of Nivea. A new ad campaign starring the Girls Aloud singer will be made public today. Yesterday Nivea shared a teaser clip with Chezza, which showed her reading a newspaper and climbing some stairs, to promote the anti-ageing Nivea epigenetics range. It's Cheryl's first big job since the death of Liam Payne, the father of her son Bear, last October. A source said: 'This is a major brand deal for Cheryl, but it's a coup for Nivea to sign her up. 'Cheryl is very particular about who she works with and is rarely seen in public. 'To have her fronting a big campaign like this is brilliant for them. 'It'll have cost them a good six-figure sum to secure her, but it'll pay dividends to have Cheryl on board. 'She still has a massive following and people trust what she says.' If they're flogging a face cream that can help me look a little bit like Cheryl, I'll be buying it. HULLUVA GIG FOR COLDPLAY 13 Chris Martin's Coldplay kicked off their world tour in Hull Credit: Getty COLDPLAY kicked off the latest leg of their Music Of The Spheres world tour with the first of two shows in Hull last night. Before the gig, I'm told Chris checked out the local sights, and pints, which Yorkshire has to offer. He was spotted at The Duke of York, in Stainland. He chatted to the locals and handed out Coldplay badges, but asked them not to take pictures. It comes just days after he performed a mini set at the Puzzle Hall Inn in Sowerby Bridge. With ten shows at Wembley coming up, Londoners will be hoping he pops up into their local too. CAL RISKS A MILEY FALLOUT 13 Calvin Harris is risking a feud with Miley Cyrus Credit: Getty THEY have 14 No1 singles between them, so when Calvin Harris and Miley Cyrus revealed they had teamed up for a single in May last year, I was expecting it to be the song of the summer. But the track, Ocean, never got released after Miley is believed to have backed out. Now Calvin has risked a feud with the US singer after he released new snippets featuring the voice of Jessie Reyez, who co-wrote the song. Asked if Miley's version could still be released, he replied to one fan: 'I'm afraid not.' And quizzed on whether it was Miley's team's fault, he said: 'Nah it was my bad . . . crossed wires.' But in a pointed dig, he added: 'This is wayyy better,' before telling another 'Ooooh it's better now!!'. It's a belting tune, but if he wants fans to blast it while it's still hot, he needs to get a move on. TOM GRENNAN is on track to score his third No1 album with Everywhere I Went, Led Me To Where I Didn't Want To Be. It is in the lead in the midweek update from Official Charts, while US singer Conan Gray is at No2 with Wishbone. While As December Falls with Everything's On Fire But I'm Fine is at No3.
