According to New magazine, the Girls Aloud star asked Barlow to pen her a song while the pair were climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief earlier this year.
Cole has already secured the help of Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am and Taio Cruz for her solo offering, which is expected to be released later this year.
Barlow has yet to confirm the reports, but told the publication: "Cheryl's great. She's fun, feisty and knows her stuff!"
The 26-year-old has notched up twenty-one Top 10 singles since securing a place in Girls Aloud, including her collaboration with will.i.am on 'Heartbreaker' last year.
Barlow has previously written songs for Delta Goodrem, Blue, Charlotte Church, John Barrowman and H & Claire.
