    Natasha Bedingfield feels "like a Beatle" when she performs 'Unwritten'

    The 43-year-old pop star released the hit single back in 2004, and Natasha loves that it's remained so popular among fans


    She told PEOPLE: "I feel like a Beatle right now because everyone is just singing the song with so much abandon. And it's exactly as the song says, release your inhibitions. Everyone is, and it's becoming that song that you scream at the top of your lungs. And it's exactly what we were imagining when we were writing it."

    The song has recently enjoyed a revival, featuring in a large number of TikTok videos and in movies such as 'Anyone but You'.

    Natasha has admitted to feeling proud of the track's enduring popularity.

    She reflected: "The song is bigger than me, and I love it. So when I sing it, I just feel like I'm part of something that's happening, and it's an amazing feeling."

    Natasha previously revealed that 'Unwritten' was actually inspired by the Beatles.

    The chart-topping star told the Guardian newspaper: "I was whisked off to Los Angeles to work with songwriting mentors, which upped my game but meant I missed my younger brother Joshua's 14th birthday. I hadn't had a moment to send him a gift, so I decided to write him a song. 'Unwritten' was written with a 14-year-old in mind.

    "At that age, you're desperate to be taken seriously but at the same time everyone is asking what you're going to do. There's this huge pressure to map out your future.

    "'Unwritten' started as a poem. Then I found the right songwriter in Danielle Brisebois - who'd had amazing experiences as a child actor and in the band New Radicals. She helped me with the idea that every child is a blank page and can write their own future.

    "We recorded it in Venice Beach. For the verse, I had the Beatles' Indian period in my mind."
