PLAIN WHITE T'S SOLVE DELILAH MYSTERY

American pop-rockers PLAIN WHITE T'S hit summer anthem was inspired by an Olympic steeplechase hopeful.

PLAIN WHITE T'S

Frontman Tom Hinggenson was driven to write former U.S. number one Hey There Delilah after falling for athlete Delilah DiCrescenzo when they met four years ago (03) in Chicago.

He recalls, "I was blown away by her, she was so gorgeous. I told her I had written a song about her but the next day she went back to New York to college. She had a boyfriend so it was just a dream.

"A year later she returned to Chicago for Christmas and I took her the CD. But nothing happened because she still had the boyfriend.

"I hear Delilah's not with (him) now. I don't know if it's to do with the song. Before I wrote it I was desperate to get her - now it's a hit I don't care."

Hinggenson is currently dating a girl called Angie.
