London, Aug 1 (IANS) Singer Olly Murs relies on his friend’s heart broken love stories to get inspiration for his songs.

The ‘Thinking of Me’ hitmaker admits he is not very experienced in the ways of romance, so he pays extra attention to his pals’ relationships to give him lyrical ideas.

‘You can only experience so much as a 27 year old, I’ve only had three or four girlfriends since I went to school. You can’t delve into everything, you can go to your friends though, see what they’re going through,’ the 27-year-old told contactmusic.com.

‘So when one of them has split up with their girlfriend you find yourself there, going, ‘So… How upset are you? Keep explaining, Were you crying the other night? OK, explain,’ and writing it all down,’he added.
