Singer Robbie Williams thinks he is not as good as pop stars like Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran.

Williams says he penned 80 songs for his current album because of Sheeran, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"There's a quality that's happening there with Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars that I'm not reproducing. I'm not as good as that. That's where I should be," Williams told news.com.au.

He added: "It's because of Ed that I wrote 80 songs for this album. The first albums I'd write 17 songs. By the 'Reality killed the video star' period, I'd just smoke a load of weed and come in and try and do things - if we did, great, if we didn't, fine. So now I'm like ok, I get it."
