The British singer moved Stateside to launch her US career and said that the warm climate makes her feel 'alive'.
She told Glamour, 'I found it a bit overwhelming when I first came here. Everything's a bit spread out and you have to drive everywhere.
'Also, the mentality is really different. It takes a little while to adapt. London is still home though, and I haven't set down roots here. LA is mainly for work and recording.
'But just to have the sunshine, it makes you feel alive. Everyone is a bit more relaxed here too. They just throw on shorts and shirts.
'Nobody really cares that much about how they look because the sun makes you feel so relaxed. You feel a bit out of place to be too put together, but being from England it's in me naturally to want to dress up a little bit.'
And the 27-year-old admitted that she does need help to get rid of her Geordie dialect because Americans don't understand her.
She explained, 'I kind of have to change the way I speak. I used to hear British people and think, 'Ugh, why are you saying 'take out the trash'? But I had this thing the other day because I'd said 'quarter past one' and they didn't get it.
'They don't say 'quarter past' or 'half past', they say '1.15'.'
