Naughty Boy writes track for One Direction with singer Emeli Sande

Music producer Naughty Boy and singer Emeli Sande have written a song with boyband One Direction.

The Pakistani-origin producer has been working with the boys on music for their hotly-anticipated new LP and he drafted in Sande, who he worked with on her acclaimed debut record Our Version of Events, to help out on the One Chance To Dance, which could be the next 1D single, reported Daily Mirror.

"We wrote it with Emeli Sande and it's a real progression for them. I've been told there's a big chance it's going to be the first single from their next album. I literally finished it this morning so I'm allowed to talk about it now," said Naughty Boy.

The 29-year-old studio guru, whose real name is Shahid Khan, was invited to work with the boy band after striking up a close friendship with Zayn Malik.
