The Wanted Confirm Justin Bieber Collabo
Since the Wanted and Justin Bieber share a manager in Scooter Braun, it's no shock that the boy band and pop music's Boy Wonder have collaborated on a track for the group's forthcoming new album.
Rita Ora also appears on the platter.
Max George, the shaved headed member who had a dalliance with Lindsay Lohan at one point, confirmed to The Sun that they've worked with producer Dr. Luke, a favorite hitmaker for Katy Perry. George also said they worked with "Nasri who does a lot of Bieber's stuff and Justin himself."
There it is!
George also confirmed that Nathan Sykes is recovered from throat surgery, saying, "Nath's back, so I think it's gonna be our best album yet and hopefully there'll be a couple of surprise collaborations there as well."
A truly surprise collabo would be one with One Direction, but we doubt that such an epic, feud-ending endeavor is in the U.K. boy band's cards.
Tom Paker also revealed that they've learned that Rihanna digs their new single, 'Walks Like Rihanna.' See, the Wanted can get along with fellow popsters.
"We met her manager, Jay Brown, in New York and he said he really liked it and she really liked it, which is always a good sign 'cause if she hated it we'd be in a pretty bad place," Parker joked.
George is less concerned about RiRi's opinion of the song, saying, "We'd put it out anyway! I think she's avoiding us since we wrote that one."
Now that's not the right attitude, Max. You need to cozy up to her so she performs it with you at a big radio fest or something. Are we right or are we right?
