The viral sound features her 2015 hit 'Hold My Hand' as voice actress Zoe Lister boasts about the benefits of a Jet2 holiday.
The audio has become a widespread trend on TikTok in recent months with people using it to ironically highlight their holiday disasters. Celebrities such as Mariah Carey and Jeff Goldblum have also jumped on the trend.
The White House used the sound over a video showing a number of detainees being forced onto flights by ICE to be removed from the United States.
The captions reads: "When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!"
Now the singer has voiced her thoughts on the video saying: "This post honestly makes me sick. My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity - never about division or hate."
