Alexandra Burke has announced the title and release date of her new single.

The singer will release 'Elephant', which is produced by Colombian DJ Erick Morillo, on February 26 next year.

Burke announced the news via her official Twitter page with the message: "Elephant... 26.02.12."

The track, which serves as the lead single from her second studio album, has been subject to a number of delays after it was originally slated for release last month.

Burke said: "We've decided to take a tiny bit more time as some exciting things have come up that we are looking at and [record label] RCA want to make sure everything is perfect."

The star recently revealed that her forthcoming LP will be "sexier" than her debut, adding: "It's fun, loud, up-tempo, in-your-face. It has a lot of colours."
