After the massively successful first series, the second series suffered from low ratings and what many considered an unworthy winner (Michelle McManus), who did not go on to achieve fame and success like the original winner (Will Young). In 2004, ITV announced a new reality show created by Simon Cowell with no involvement from Simon Fuller – The X Factor. Although its ratings were average in the first couple of series, by the seventh series in 2010 ratings were hitting 10 million each week.

Additionally, Cowell signed a long-term business deal with Sony Music Entertainment, who already support Syco Music artists in the UK, and will now be involved with the artists on the U.S. version of the show as well as becoming involved in its production. In November 2010, Fox began airing short commercials for the program which displayed the text “Coming to America Fall 2011″. The New York Times described the commercials as the network trying to set up The X Factor as a television event. In February 2011, during the Super Bowl XLV, FOX unveiled the official logo for the show in a promo starring Cowell. A second promo was shown during that night, featuring Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, The Black Eyed Peas, Usher, Lady Gaga, the Pussycat Dolls and Madonna. This promo started speculation on who would be joining Cowell on the X Factor judging panel. The X Factor premiered in the U.S. and Canada on September 21, 2011. The following day, it premiered in the UK on ITV2 and a handful of other countries.
