Speaking about Justin - with who they share a manager in the US, Scooter Braun - Jay McGuiness said: "We talked about it, and we have a song that we think he'd sound great on."

Siva Kaneswaran added: "We've talked to Chris Brown as well, which would be really good. We talked to Chris actually at 'The Voice,' and he said he was down as well."

Max George said: "We have got a song we think would be perfect."

The 'Glad You Came' hitmakers - which also include Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes - are excited about their new material because they are trying to be "daring" and produce something "fresh".

Jay told MTV News: "It's a new, fresh start for us. The singles we started writing and recording, so far, we're excited about. But it's still gonna be parties for The Wanted. I think it's gonna be a few surprises too."

Siva added: "[It] could be collabs or it could be rapping. There's not gonna be any rapping; I'm just kidding. But it is surprising for ourselves, too, because we are just going to try and be daring and try and step it up a bit, so hopefully the fans will like it."
