Olly Murs was starstruck whilst recording for Band Aid 30 because of some of the other artists involved.
The singer admits it was a surreal experience to be in the studio with the likes of Bono and Chris Martin at the weekend, but he quickly got over his nerves and set about the task at hand.
Asked about being amazed by his fellow singers he explained to Billboard magazine: "I think that was what it was like for the first half an hour.
"And then you need to get to the job. And the job we had was to sing, and sell this song.
"So yeah, first, initially, it was like, 'Wow, I'm in a room with Bono and Chris Martin from Coldplay,' but in the end you get over that and, you're like, 'It's time to get focused and get this song out there and do a good job on that.' And that was the aim."
His experience of recording the track was "amazing" and he feels honoured to be a part of history.
"You know what, it was great to come together with loads of other English acts and artists. It was amazing. We really had a good time doing it. The video, everything: It's incredible.
"Just to be featured on the song is great. I'm just really, really pleased. It was a really special moment for me and my family. I just really hope people around the world get behind the song."
And he confirmed each artist didn't know which line on the song they'd been given until the completed video was shown.
"No one knew. Even when they left [the studio]. We all just sung the song once or twice around. We just waited to see the video and saw our parts then."
