Justin Bieber & Rita Ora For The Wanted's New Album!

The Wanted have confirmed that Justin Bieber and Rita Ora have collaborated on their third album.

!Speaking about collaborators on the as-yet-untitled record, Max George said: “Dr Luke, Rita Ora, Nasri who does a lot of Bieber’s stuff and Justin himself. “Nath’s back (after undergoing vocal chord surgery in America) so yeah I think it’s gonna be our best album yet and hopefully there’ll be a couple of surprise collabs there as well.”

The big news comes two months after Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun let it slip that Justin had penned a track for The Wanted.

He enthusiastically tweeted: "So @JustinBieber wrote a smash for @TheWanted. Damn. #HitRecord. Today is a great day for #NewMusic."

!In the interview with MTV, The Wanted also revealed that Rihanna has given her seal approval to their upcoming hit single ‘Walks Like Rihanna’.

Tom Parker said: “We met her manager Jay Brown in New York and he said that he really liked it and that she really liked it which is always a good sign cos if she hated it we’d be in a pretty bad place.”

Max joked: “We’d put it out anyway!" before Jay McGuiness added: “I think she’s avoiding us since we wrote that one!”

Set to feature ‘I Found You’ and ‘Walks Like Rihanna’, the follow-up to 2011’s ‘Battleground’ is set for release this September.
