Bianca Ryan was the first-ever winner of America’s Got Talent back in 2006 when she was just 11-years-old and now she’s returning to compete with The Champions!

The singer, now 24, performed the song “Say Something” for the premiere of the show and she totally blew everyone away with the power of her vocals.

Bianca was forced her to scale back on her performance schedule when she was younger because of her declining health.

Just a few years ago, she underwent vocal and abdominal surgery after being told she was high-risk candidate for esophageal cancer. Because of that, one of her vocal cords was paralyzed and she’s been working ever since to regain her singing voice.

“I can not believe I am getting a second chance at my dream,” Bianca shared on Facebook. “I’m so thankful for all of you & I am so happy to have my voice back.”

You might remember Bianca Ryan as the little girl with a powerhouse voice who won the first season of America’s Got Talent at age 11. Now, she all grown up and has a brand new single!

The 22-year-old singer has returned to the music scene with her song “What I Gotta Do” and JustJared.com has the exclusive premiere!

“I really wanted to write a super fun and catchy song with an 80′s throwback sound for this upcoming EP. From the very first second ‘What I Gotta Do’ echoes of the 80′s with this edgy bass line that I came up with in the car on my way home from a long weekend of jamming out to my mom’s old 80′s CD collection,” Bianca told us in an exclusive statement.

“The song is flirty and it’s basically about getting & keeping someone’s attention and just trying to bring your relationship back to when things were fresh & young – which kind of parallels with my idea of the throwback sound,” she added. “I’m asking, ‘What I Gotta Do’ to bring us back to when everything was good and we were smitten for each other.”

“I think a lot of people can relate to wanting to know what that person needs in order to be happy, but you can only wait so long until you have to move on! ‘What I Gotta Do’ is only the SECOND single from my first EP titled Part One – The Reintroduction that will be released this July. I want everyone to see each single grow with me as an artist,” she concluded.
