Tom from McFly has been asked to write more songs for One Direction

McFly's Tom Fletcher has revealed that he's writing songs for the next One Direction album.

Talking to the Daily Star, Fletcher — who wrote 'I Want' on 'Up All Night' — said he couldn't wait to get started and that he was incred­ibly "proud" of the band's success in America.

"I haven’t been given a brief as to what kind of song they want from me, we’re just waiting to see what I come up with," he explained.

He also had a theory as to why he and the band click so well in the studio. "Some song­writers have never been in a band, but the One Direction guys can relate to me, as I’ve been through the same kind of exper­i­ences as they have," he said. "When I’ve been in the studio with them, the manic atmo­sphere was just the same as when we made our debut."
