The songwriting superduo behind Leona Lewis’ smash hit Bleeding Love has given new American Idol winner David Cook a big boost by offering to write him a string of tunes.

Jesse McCartney and Ryan Tedder originally wrote Bleeding Love for McCartney’s new album - but realized the song would be better sung by a woman, giving Lewis, the winner of British TV talent competition The X-Factor, a huge hit.

And now the duo hopes to do the same for another talent show victor.

McCartney says, "Ryan and I are planning to write some songs with him for his (Cook) album." Cook beat fellow finalist David Archuleta in the Idol finale on Wednesday.
