The Wanted have admitted that they have turned down the opportunity to release a collaboration with a big US star.
The group confessed that the song didn't work and assured fans that the female singer will not record the track with someone else.
Band member Nathan Sykes told the Daily Star: "We didn't think the song worked so we canned it."
Jay McGuiness continued: "It was really difficult as we always say we won't release a collaboration until we're sure.
"There was a point where we were going to go ahead with it but then we sat down and said, 'No, it's just not us'. It was gutting, but she'll be fine."
Sykes concluded: "She won't do it with anyone else. It was a song pitched to us for a collaboration."
The Wanted recently made their US television debut on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where they performed their number one hit 'Glad You Came'.
