The Wanted's Tom Parker has spoken out the band's break from music, saying 'it's impossible to compete' with the likes of One Direction.
"For The Wanted to try and compete against one of the biggest bands in the world - One Direction - it's almost impossible," Parker told Digital Spy.
"I don't think any band out there can compete with them at the moment."
He went on to add he's looking forward to working on his own music though, saying: "I played guitar when I was younger and that kind of took a back seat when I was in the band."
"Obviously when you're in a band like that it's a product at the end of the day, and you're a boyband and that's what you do, even though we'd say, 'We don't wanna dance and we don't wanna do this'.
"Ultimately it probably wasn't a route I would've wanted to go down myself, so it's nice to come out of it and experiment in the studio and do my own thing for a while, which is cool."
Parker recently featured on Richard Rawson's single 'Fireflies', which is set for release on July 27.
