She Makes Me Wanna

Story of Song

JLS collaborated with Dev on this song; when interviewed by MTV UK, they explained: “We wanted to have a female feature on one of our singles, as we just collaborated with Tinie Tempah, and we thought it was right that we have a female feature. We’re huge fans of her stuff, ‘Like A G6’ is a massive hit around the world, and her solo stuff, like ‘Bass Down Low’ and her new song, ‘In The Dark’ is wicked. We think she’s going to be massive, so she was like the perfect choice for us really.” Marvin from JLS added: “It’s was the first time she worked with a UK act and the first time we worked with a US act actually. The vibe was just right; it was the perfect song for us to team up together on.”
