Sam, 37, won The X Factor in 2013 and only released one album before she was released from her contract.
But Sam's not bitter and is actually planning to crack America. Well, if One Direction can do it…
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Sam said: "I was pleased Syco dropped me. I know I'm not a Rihanna or Beyoncé and never will be a world arena tour artist because I'm a 37-year-old mum of three.
"I'm not a world superstar and I'm ok with that. As long as I'm working and earning money doing the thing that I love most, I don't care."
Sam claimed that if she'd stayed with Syco that she would've been stuck doing another album of covers.
She continued: "I've been set free. If I was still with Syco I guarantee I probably would have done another covers album. They would have kept me down there sitting pretty while they concentrated on all the bigger stars.
"I am very thankful for everything they did. Simon has always been very polite and nice to me. I understand he's a businessman at the end of the day."
And it seems Sam's plans for world domination are well underway, as she's already started meeting with US producers in an attempt to get her music released across the pond.
