In the video, Megan, 20, stood in a small recording booth and sang passionately.

The competition TV star was dressed casually in a white T-shirt and jeans, along with an assortment of bracelets.

On a sofa next to the booth, one of Megan's team members sat to give feedback on her singing.

The duo exchanged plenty of jokes and quips after she'd finished her song, and couldn't stop themselves from falling into laughter in the relaxed environment.

FIGHTING ON

Megan's impressive career progression came after the star admitted she was going through a tough time.

Earlier this week, Megan posted a montage video on TikTok that showed her looking fed up as she stood in her bathroom.

Words on the screen read: "I've been struggling a bit and it's ok if you are too," alongside a white heart emoji.

As Megan splashed her face with water and carried out her skincare routine, the caption continued: "God is working on something greater than we could ever imagine.

"Just be patient!" Megan told her fans, as she poked her tongue out and gave a thumbs-up to the camera.

"This is a sign you've been needing to see, you're so close to your dreams," her message continued, as she filmed herself pulling back her duvet as she prepared to get into bed.

"Have faith, talk to God everyday and just don't give up," Megan added as footage of her performing live played out.

STAYING HUMBLE

Iam Tongi, 18, came out on top and won this season of American Idol on May 21.

The singer beat out second-place Megan and finalist Colin Stough, 18, but has since been smeared with rigging claims that suggest he wasn't the real winner of the show.

Amid the accusatory drama, Megan spoke out about the claims at the end of May.

The young woman assured: “I would say that it isn’t just because, you know, I feel like God made all of this happen for a reason.

“Even if I was first, second, last, whatever … I feel like any of us really deserved it.”

She added: "I feel like Iam was deserving, and he’s so humble and so talented. And this was his time and I’m just super proud of him.”
