Goulding: 'I won't write for others again'

Ellie Goulding has said that she would not write for another artist after penning three songs for Diana Vickers's debut LP.

The singer-songwriter co-wrote 'Remake Me and You', 'Notice' and 'Jumping Into Rivers', which featured on the chart-topping Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree.

Goulding told Q magazine: "Last year I worked with her before I signed my record deal because [producer] Guy Sigsworth is a friend of mine.

"He was like, 'Yeah I'm working with that X Factor girl Diana Vickers, do you wanna come down?'. So I said, 'Yeah, why not?'. I unexpectedly wrote some songs for her album."

When asked what she thought of Vickers, she replied: "Well me excluded, she's had some really amazing writers. They're trying to make her massive I think. But then I don't know.

"I don't think I'm going to write for anyone again. I've decided it's not for me. Saying that, I might but it wouldn't be like that. I'd write with someone."

Earlier in the interview when she was compared to Dido, Goulding said: "Dido and Diana Vickers. What the f**k is that about?! I don't know why. One person said I was like Dido in Shoreditch clothes.

"First I don't think I've ever listened to Dido. And second, I don't go to Shoreditch and I don't know what those people dress like. So f**k off! I think people are just like, 'Hmmm who should we compare her to?'. It's just a technicality, isn't it?
