James Arthur has opened up on how his ADHD diagnosis has influenced his songwriting

James Arthur thinks his ADHD is his songwriting "superpower".

The 37-year-old singer - who recently released new album 'Pisces' - has opened up about his diagnosis and how he is being "unapologetically" himself on his latest record.

He told Fault magazine: "I see ADHD as a superpower when it comes to songwriting.

"It allows me to have hyper-focus when it comes to things I'm passionate about. And I care deeply about songwriting - so I can lock in for long periods.

"'Pisces' represents me being unapologetically myself. I've reached a place where I am woven into the fabric of everything about this album and I'm proud of it."

The 'Say You Won't Let Go' hitmaker described songwriting as a "form of therapy", and he insisted he's inspired by using his own experiences to help other people.

He added: "It's always cathartic to write about difficult things. Making myself vulnerable takes courage and I know I'm helping others."
