Lily Cooper, nee Allen, has voiced her admiration for T-Pain's new single '5 O'Clock'.

The track features a sample of her own hit 'Who'd Have Known', which itself uses a Take That song.

"The ironic thing about this was that I had re-worked Take That's 'Shine' by writing a brand new lyric to their song - which became 'Who'd Have Known'," she said. "So Take That's original song continues to have legs by being re-written, twice over."

The newlywed added: "I heard a story that T-Pain first heard my song when he was stuck on hold, and that he had no idea who I was or who was singing the song, but after he hung up he went on a mission to find out who recorded [it].

"I love '5 O'Clock In The Morning'! It's absolutely brilliant, and I'm really flattered by what he did to my original track!"

The single also features Wiz Khalifa, and is released in the UK on December 4.
