The Geordie singer was spotted arriving at 1am with former Bristol City footballer Alex Da Kid.
Close pals say she has "hit it off" with the music guru real name Alexander Grant.
A friend told The Sun: "Cheryl and Alex have struck up a great relationship and have been living in each other's pockets for the past week.
"Some of the recording sessions have run into the very early hours with just the two of them and a laptop in their hotel rooms.
"Cheryl has been suffering from jet lag and couldn't sleep, so they have just worked through the night. It hasn't all been work they've enjoyed some play too.
"If the music is going to work then they need to find their own chemistry."

Ramey/ Xposurephotos.com and Landmark MediaThe couple, both 28, were snapped entering his five-star Manhattan hotel.
She was wearing red hotpants and a T-shirt, texting on her phone. Alex in jeans, black T-shirt, baseball cap and shades carried a backpack with his laptop hanging out of it.
An onlooker said: "They seemed really relaxed. Cheryl was laughing and smiling.
"They looked like they had known each other for years."
Sightseeing
The following day Cheryl went sightseeing around Broadway with her PA and another co-manager.
Cheryl divorced from Chelsea love rat Ashley Cole threw herself into her pop career after leaving the US version of X Factor under a cloud earlier this year. She has spent the past week with Alex working on her second solo album.

Cheryl was paired with him by Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am and his management team.
They have taken over responsibility for her musical development from Hilary Shaw, who remains her co-manager.
Alex was picked after becoming one of the most sought-after producers on either side of the Atlantic over the past two years.
His breakthrough came last year when he wrote and produced two huge hits rapper B.o.B's No1 Airplanes and Eminem and Rihanna's Love The Way You Lie, which became the UK's biggest selling single of 2010.
Since then he has worked with U2, P. Diddy and Dr Dre and been handed his own record label by Universal Music.
Alex gave up a promising football career to study music technology at Thames Valley University before leaving the UK in 2009 as an unknown.
Speaking in an interview earlier this year he said: "This is my entire life.
"I don't really have much of a social life."
The former Bristol City youth team player still enjoys football but now it's the odd Los Angeles kickabout with fellow Brit Robbie Williams.
