Example has admitted that he does not really respect the people he writes songs for, preferring instead to write alone and sell the tracks on to the acts.

The 'Kickstarts' star has written tracks for the likes of The Wanted in the past twelve months but spent no time in the studio with the boyband.

Explaining his reasoning for this, Example told Digital Spy: 'I don't really like working with other artists. If I'm writing a song it has got to be my song on my terms. Unless it's an artist I really respect who I think can write themselves, I don't really want to get into the studio with anyone. I'd rather just make songs and then sell them to people.'
 
Example also revealed his anger at acts who have copied his mixture of rave and pop since he became an established chart success.

'I've never written albums for specific markets or moments in time, I just make what I want. My second album was experimental - there were so many different sounds on there - but my last album brought the underground dance genres to the mainstream.
 
'Since then, every boy band or girl band copies the recipe for 'Changed The Way You Kiss Me' or 'Stay Awake', which is why I want to go the other way now and make a rock album, but do it my way.'
