The Derry-born singer's Puppet on a String is sampled in the former Little Mix star's debut single.
A song written by Northern Ireland musician Phil Coulter in the 60s is being enjoyed by a new generation, 57 years after first being released.her first solo track since Little Mix announced a hiatus.Speaking to BBC News NI Coulter said he was "thrilled" when he found out about the sample."They said the record is getting reviews left, right and centre," he told BBC News NI.
The songwriter said he was surprised that a song this old was "even on the radar" of a young singer like Thirlwall.He explained: "I had nothing to do with it, no hand, act or part in it. What would have happened was, in putting together the record and the mix, her producer, who is some current hot shot who has lots of hits in current times, have decided between the two of them that Puppet on a String was going to work at the start to set some kind of mood.
He said: "For every songwriter, every professional career songwriter, the ambition is always to write a song that is going to be around for a long time. "I have songs that are still alive and that’s what every songwriter hopes for, some sort of a legacy," he told BBC News NI.
