Paul Weller has penned a new track for Olly Murs.

The singer was so impressed by a cover Olly did of his track 'Broken Stones' back in 2012, that he offered to work with him on new record 'Never Been Better'.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper Olly explained: "I was at a gig and Paul came up to me and said, 'I loved the version of 'Broken Stones' you did.'

"He said, 'Are you writing at the moment? I'll send you some songs.'

"We went into the studio and reworked one.

"To get an endorsement from the Modfather himself is special. He's a musical legend."

He did admit that he thought the rocker may be a little dismissive of him because of his talent show background.

The Metro newspaper was told: "'Oh, you're from X Factor, you don't write your own songs, rah, rah, rah,' I felt like Paul was going to be one of those characters, but he wasn't.

"We had a right laugh and we wrote a song together: I think that's what it should be.

"It shouldn't be where you're from, or where you've come from, it should be right here, right now."
