While Daniel Bedingfield wrote ‘Gotta Get Thru This’ for the “pretty girl from New Jersey” who now is his girlfriend, the singer tells Chris Chandar of Pulse! magazine that to his surprise, audiences worldwide embraced the song’s unaffected lyrics-in ways he never imagined. “There’s a guy who had cancer surgery, and he said the song helped him through it. And a girl who wanted to die-she felt the song was a message from God, telling her to get through it. I didn’t realize that because the song meant something to me, it would mean something to others, and it did. It really did.”

Capital FM caught up with H of H & Claire (formerly of Steps) on the duo’s upcoming album. Asked who they have been working with on the disc, H offered, “We’ve recorded with Daniel Bedingfield who’s written us a track and he was nuts! He’s a really, really lovely guy but not on this planet – and I thought I was bonkers! What a talent though, he’s just phenomenal. He’s really humble, very down-to-earth, but completely bonkers! We‘re also off to Sweden to record one of the Abba tracks that they’ve written for us. Benny and Bjorn (of Abba) actually suggested it to myself and Claire, which was just unbelievable, and this is the first stuff they’ve written for other people since Abba split up.”
