Olly Murs on working with Ryan Tedder in studio: 'I started at 9am and didn’t get to bed until 1am'

Olly Murs has opened up on his songwriting collaboration with Ryan Tedder.

The singer drafted in the OneRepublic hitmaker to create the song 'Seasons' for his new record 'Never Been Better'.

Speaking to The Sun recently, the former Xtra Factor host said that the US star was a perfectionist in the studio as he helped get the best out of Murs.

The Brit said: "It was such a weird experience. I called Ryan up on the iPad and I’m Skype-ing him and he said, ‘I really like your vocal, but I need you to sing it with your spin on it, with more character’.

“He was like, ‘Take me in the booth with you’. It was like we were going out on a date. We were in there for hours. He wanted to get it perfect. I started at 9am and didn’t get to bed until 1am."

Murs' new record 'Never Been Better' meanwhile will be released on November 24.
