"I know that Scooter mentioned we would do a bit of writing with Justin when we do a few dates with him," Nathan Sykes told MTV News in October 2012. "We are just trying to write as much as possible and get the right feel of the album that everyone is happy with."[1]
Nathan Sykes told the Mirror about their time on the tour: “We spent some time with him in America and after a show he said, ‘Mate I’m really buzzing about this new song do you want to come and check it out'. "Then the next week he sent us a message and said his album wasn’t going to be ready in time for it. He offered it to us and I was flattered because I was telling him he should make it his next single.[2]
The Wanted confirmed with MTV UK that Justin Bieber would be making an appearance on their third studio album.[3] "The track didn't quite sit within the album," said Tom Parker to Billboard. "Maybe for the next album, but I think maybe it was a bit R&B for the album. But I mean the song's great, so yeah for this album it's just The Wanted."[4]
