Ian Brown wrote a song for Kanye West - but didn`t give it to him.

The former Stone Roses frontman has revealed album track `Vanity Kills` was originally written by him and his songwriting partner Dave McCracken as an "autobiographical" track for the rapper`s 2008 LP `808s and Heartbreak`.

He said: "Dave was asked to write a song for Kanye West. Amanda Ghost wrote the melody, Dave wrote the music and they wanted me to write some lyrics. It had to be a sort of autobiographical song for Kanye. So we had a few meetings and Amanda told me about Kanye because she knew him. So she texted him and told him I would do the lyrics and he was delighted."

However, the track missed the album`s deadline and instead of letting it go to waste, Ian chose to keep it for himself.

The song includes the lyrics: "All that I am, all I could be / All I decide the many faces of me / All I became the man that I am, got nothing to prove and got it all to gain / Words that are spoken, promises broken, yeah / Now that I`ve woken, all the cheap thrills with expensive pills / Vanity kills."

Kanye is not the only music star Ian has written a song for.
