Will Young thinks it is "brilliant" his single 'Leave Right Now' will be the 'American Idol' winner's track.

The British singer - who rose to fame after winning the first ever series of singing talent show 'Pop Idol' in 2002 - is thrilled his catchy pop tune will be released by the winner of the US TV show and loves hearing it played on the television each week.

He said: "It's brilliant. I haven't released in America before, so I'm really happy, because my song is now on the biggest show in America. And it's played every week. I've watched it over here a couple of times when I can, and I think it sounds great on the show."

The 31-year-old star hopes the success of the record could help boost his career overseas when he performs in America this summer.

Will also believes the track is the perfect record for the singing hopefuls.

He explained: "Funny enough, the song is more about taking yourself out of a situation, so in a way, I'm telling myself to leave, which is almost the harder thing to do. I think that's what it is about, that song.

"So many people have experienced that. You're coming back, and you think, 'I really shouldn't be in the situation, but here I am again.'

"You know, that awful feeling where your heart has been broken once and you don't know if you can do it again. That's what that song is about. And that's why I always love performing it."
