I was worrying I was spending too much time in the US, because UK people get a bit sick of people who spend too much time there. I love America but it's so important for me to be here and be an artist and be well known here. "The whole American thing completely wasn't planned. I can't explain how unplanned it was as well."
The bigger the shows get, that's when it gets overwhelming. I think I'd lose my head! I'm just trying to pay attention to the shows. Now you're a big name in America, has it all sunk in yet? She knows she's not the only one, but she's never going to leave. When you listen to it you think it's just bashing a guy for cheating, but it's not, it actually talks more about how the woman's a mug. We both had really strong opinions on what the woman was doing. "It came really naturally! The person I wrote it with, we both knew them and we just vibed off each other. How difficult did you find writing a song from the woman's shoes?

If you listen to the record, there's a few songs on there I actually think would be safer bets to go in terms of radio, but I wanted to make a statement. I just wanted to bring out a song that is classic and that had longevity to it. I love it too - it's one of my favourites on the record. "I listened to the fans and I wanted to put something out that people love. Anyway, 'I'm Not the Only One' is the new single, but why did you decide on that track? And I know that if the plane does start going like that, I'd still survive. I thought if it's all going to plan and it's great, I'd know what's going on. If you go on to YouTube and type that in it's unbelievable, and it didn't make me feel better. The other day - I don't know why - I thought it would be a good idea to YouTube bad takeoffs to make me feel better about the takeoff. I could be massaged for the whole flight and still think I'm going to die." I got upgraded to first class the other week, but even there I was still scared. "My main incentive now is to be so successful that I can get a private jet and sit with the pilot.
