Singer Olly Murs, who split from her ex-girlfriend Francesca Thomas last year after three years of dating, said he does not enjoy being on his own.
The 32-year-old "Wrapped Up" hitmaker thinks it is not what he really wanted but his break-up with Thomas gave him a chance to introspect and even helped the singer in his upcoming
fifth album, reported Female First.
"I hate being single. But because of the heartbreak, it's nice to give the fans something different," Murs said.
The singer said he wants to be more daring in terms of creating music so that people do not develop a set image of him in their mind.
"I want to be a bit more bold (in the music) and for people to see I'm not just this cheeky guy who sings happy songs all the time.
"You get to a point where you think, 'I have been through a break-up.' The last couple of albums I hadn't. I was in love and I was happy, so those are the songs you do," he added.
