Ed Drewett
Edward James "Ed" Drewett (born 1 April 1988) is a British singer-songwriter who is best known for his contributions and collaborations with acts such as The Wanted, Olly Murs and One Direction.
Early life
Drewett left school at age 16 and went on to a performing arts college in Charlton, south-east London. He then proceeded to vocal college BIMM in west London the following year.
Career
2008–13: Songwriting and debut album
In 2008 he signed to leading Worldwide publishers Warner/Chappell Music. Later that year he signed his first record deal with Virgin Records and featured on Professor Green's hit single "I Need You Tonight", which charted at number three. Drewett was then dropped by the label and began to write for other artists, resulting in his first number-one hit single "All Time Low" for The Wanted and the multi-platinum hit "Glad You Came". Drewett then signed to Polydor Records in February 2012 only to be dropped later again.
Drewett signed a deal with EMI Records in February 2009. He began recording his debut album working with producers Wayne Hector, Cutfather and JJ, Fraser T Smith and The ThundaCatz. In early 2010, he was featured on Professor Green's first debut single, "I Need You Tonight", which charted at number three in the UK singles charts and number 15 in Ireland. The single remained in the UK Top 10 for four weeks. Drewett also wrote The Wanted's debut single, originally for himself, "All Time Low". The single went straight to number one in the UK top 40. Drewett has written three singles for The Wanted with Wayne Hector and Steve Mac – "All Time Low", "Glad You Came" and "Lightning". Glad You Came was by far the biggest of these hits, resulting in 4 million Worldwide sales, a UK number hit single and a Top 3 hit single on the Hot 100 in the USA.

Drunk Dial
by: Ed DrewettYes I know it's probably too late,
I’ve had a couple and I can’t think straight
All night doing nothing but thinking of you, of you
I’m quite near, can I come stay?
I know I hurt you but I’m trying to say
The only thing that I’ve ever been afraid to tell you, tell you
And my friends are telling me to hang up, hang up
So I don’t regret it when I wake up, wake up
And my friends are telling me to hang up, hang up
But I won’t regret it when I wake up, noo
Don’t mind if I, I drunk dial when I
I’m getting pissed outside smoking cigarettes
Don’t mind if I, I drunk dial when I
I’m getting pissed outside smoking cigarettes
I know, I don’t say it enough but I’m in love
So don’t mind if I, I’m drunk dialling ya, I’m drunk dialling ya
Smoking cigarettes
Drinking and the truth comes out
But it’s funny how I’m fearless when the shot goes down
Gonna get loud cause I’m pushing this crowd to hear you, hear me
And my friends are saying I’ll be banged up, banged up
I’ll be in a cell when I wake up, wake up
Oh I swear it’s worth it, please don’t hang up, hang up
But I won’t regret it when I wake up, noo
Don’t mind if I, I drunk dial when I
I’m getting pissed outside smoking cigarettes
Don’t mind if I, I drunk dial when I
I’m getting pissed outside smoking cigarettes
I know, I don’t say it enough but I’m in love
So don’t mind if I, I’m drunk dialling ya, I’m drunk dialling you
And smoking cigarettes
Whooahoaaa
Keep your ear up to the phone
This can’t wait ‘till I get home,
Hang on, hang on, hang on
On and on and on and on
Whooahoaaa
This is something you should know
Girl I’ve loved you all along
Hang on, hang on, hang on,
On and on and on and on
So don’t mind if I,
Don’t mind if I
Don’t mind if I
Oh yeah
Don’t mind if I, I drunk dial when I
I’m getting pissed outside smoking cigarettes
I know, I don’t say it enough but I’m in love
So don’t mind if I, I’m drunk dialling you, I’m drunk dialling you
And smoking cigarettes
Don’t mind if I drunk dial when I
