Leona Lewis' wrote new track 'Glassheart' with songwriter Ryan Tedder to make her ''dance and jump around''.

Leona Lewis' wrote new track 'Glassheart' to make her "dance and jump around".

The 'Collide' singer worked with Ryan Tedder - the OneRepublic singer and songwriter responsible for her biggest hit, 'Bleeding Love' - on the title track for her new album, and wanted it to be an upbeat song.

She told Digitalspy.co.uk: "'Glassheart' we wrote, I remember, when I was a little bit down. I went to Denver to hang out with Ryan - to see him and his family - and see if we could come up with something nice.

"I remember just not wanting to sing a ballad or anything that would make me more sad.

"I was like, 'Can you give me a song where I can just dance and jump around?', and he was like, 'What about this?' - he played this beat and it was really hypnotic. So I was like, 'Yes! We have to do this'."

Leona says her third album is an "eclectic mix" of genres, with one stand out track being called 'Trouble', which has a "trip-hop" beat to it.

She added: "I think 'Trouble' will be the second single. I can't wait for everyone to hear it. I'm really excited about it. It's one that I really love.

"It's got an element of Massive Attack in it. A bit of trip-hop, a bit of flavour - I've just never heard anything like it, which is why I was like, 'This is very cool'."

Leona's 'Glassheart' album is released on November 28.
