How T-Pain & Lily Allen Hooked Up

Lily Allen describes how she feels about featuring in T-Pain's '5 o'clock In The Morning'

When I first heard the T-Pain track ‘5 o’clock In The Morning’, I was really impressed by how well he interpreted my song ‘Who’d Have Known’. The ironic thing about this was that I had re-worked Take That’s ‘Shine’ by writing a brand new lyric to their song – which became ‘Who’d Have Known’. So Take That’s original song continues to have legs by being re-written, twice over.

I heard a story that T-Pain first heard my song when he was stuck on hold, when ringing up an Apple store, and that he had no idea who I was or who was singing the song, but after he hung up he went on a mission to find out who recorded the song.

I love '5 o'clock In The Morning'! It’s absolutely brilliant, and I’m really flattered by what he did to my original track!
