Bruno Mars writes song for 98 Degrees

Boyband 98 Degrees have returned from their hiatus to record a new album, and enlisted the talents of Bruno Mars to turn it into a success.

The album, called 2.0, will drop in May and contains collaborations from some top pop stars as well as producers who are more new to the game.

 "We have a song that was written by Bruno Mars. We have a song that was written by Ne-Yo,” Drew Lachey told MTV News. “We have a lot of young, up-and-coming producers and songwriters on this record. We didn't really set out and say, 'We're working with that person. They're producing the whole record because they gave four hits to this other person,' "

When asked about Bruno Mars’ contribution, Lachey said: "It's a great song. It is. It's very sexy. There's some real mood to it and it helps really shape out the record in general. Nick [Lachey] and Jeff [Timmons] are killing that song, so it's a great song."
