Having a pop star compose songs about you can’t be natural, can it? Yet, according to Olly Murs, his other half found it extremely unusual.
The 38-year-old former X Factor judge is presently engaged to Amelia Tank, 30, after proposing to her in June 2022 after nearly three years of dating.
Clearly, Olly’s muse for his music has been the body-builder, and he’s not hesitant to declare that his songs are about her.
The Essex star told how his current track, I Found Her, came to be on The One Show on Friday (February 24).
‘I adore everything about it… the clothing, the 80s feel… ‘But you’re singing about your wonderful fiancée, aren’t you?’ said host Alex Jones.
‘No, I’m not,’ Olly taunted back.
Laughing, he clarified: ‘No, I am, I am. It’s about Amelia, yeah.’
‘The whole album is about her, really,’ he added of his latest number one record, Marry Me.
‘That song was, two years ago, I actually wrote that in lockdown, it was one of the first songs that we did for the album. At the time, The Weeknd was about with that song everyone was doing in lockdown, the dance (Blinding Lights), and this whole eighties vibe was in the charts, so I said, “Come on, let’s just write a tune about it”,’ he explained.
‘Obviously, I found her, it was about Amelia, and yeah, she loved it, I think!’
‘And I’m guessing never had a song written about her before?’, Alex asked, to which Olly quipped: ‘I hope not! I’m the first!’
‘It was weird playing it to her, actually, for the first time,’ he admitted.
‘I think she was a bit like… this is weird. You know? You’re playing a song that you’ve wrote about me today, but I’m like… yes! It’s nice.’
Olly and Amelia routinely share cute photos of their relationship on social media.
They have, however, kept their wedding plans a secret… The Heart Skips a Beat singer joked that if he revealed any specifics, his lover would ‘murder’ him.
When asked if he had set a date for his wedding, Olly told Graham Norton on the Graham Norton Show in December that it would be ‘next summer, around June or July.’
Even that, though, was definitely something he should’ve kept to himself.
‘She’ll kill me for telling you,’ he revealed, before adding: ‘I have a best man but I haven’t told him yet.’
The One Show airs on BBC One, weekdays at 7pm.
