Olly Murs was surprised Flo Rida agreed to be on a single with him

  • October 1, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Olly Murs was shocked at just how easy it was to convince the notori­ously col­lab­or­a­tion-shy Flo Rida to chat about stuff on this new single, 'Troublemaker'.

Talking to MTV US about the song, which is due out after 'Heart Skips A Beat' 'goes to radio' over there, the part-time bellend said: "So, getting Flo Rida on the record was kind of easy, in a way. [It] wasn't hard."

"I was expecting it to be a lot harder than it was," he went on. "We just literally sent him the track, his people the track and they heard it and really liked it. And Flo Rida was like 'I really want to do it.' So he was up for doing it."

Apparently Flo had it for a couple of days (minutes) and then "it came back and it sounded amazing. I just think the way the song is and when people hear it, they'll under­stand why Flo Rida is such a perfect person to sing the song and get his vibe on it. So, it's exciting".

'His vibe'.

'It's exciting'.
