Andrew G caught up with Jesse McCartney back stage at the Grammys this weekend. McCartney is currently reeling in the success of Leona Lewis' hit 'Bleeding Love' - because he's the one who wrote it!

Jesse's record label originally weren't too keen on the track however. "It's funny," Jesse explains, "because... when they (the label) heard it they were like 'I dunno... I just don't think it's gonna be, you know, anything...' and I was like 'really? You know I really hear a massive sound to it... it's really got that really anthem-ic pop ballad vibe to it!'"

"It all worked out though, it's great, I'm still high on it."
