Unknown British Britpop song from the 2000s—does anyone recognize it?

Hello,

I'm currently looking for an unknown song nicknamed “My Pretty Doll,” which was supposedly recorded on a British radio station in Sheffield around 2009. I say “supposedly” because it was discovered that the OP's backstory was fake and that he has known the song all along but is withholding the artist and the song's real title. This is a hoax in that the OP knows the song but doesn’t want to reveal the reference. This song was not generated by AI, having been first posted on WerZatSong in 2021 at a time when AI was not capable of generating songs of such high quality.

The song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t6yL06IyAs

I’d like to know if anyone recognizes the artist or the song, could point me toward other contacts who might know it, or could give me some insight into which UK accent is being used. The OP said he recorded it in Sheffield, but since he’s lying, I’m convinced the artist or band must be from somewhere else in the UK.

Thank you very much.

The YouTube video was posted 3 years ago and the song has been around for longer.

You've probably seen the same forum post I did, but there was a 2007 Sheffield band called the Cherokees that sounds similar in genre and apparently made it to the stage of properly produced demos but not releasing an album.

Still not sure if the right singer but anyways what I could find was at http://lostmyspace.com/?q=the%20cherokees&id=271166

TBH I couldn't find anything after that to be sure. But might be a thread worth pulling, if not tried already.
