A video of Liam Payne singing an unreleased song has been posted online – bringing his loyal fanbase to tears after they heard the ‘brilliant’ track.
The unseen clip was posted by Grammy winner Sam Pounds, who was working with Liam on the new song shortly before his shock death earlier this month.
The song is called Do No More and is set to be released later this week, marking the first posthumous song to be shared with his fans since his passing.
Sam has shared a snippet of their song on his Instagram grid, alongside a clip of himself and Liam listening to the tune together.
Sharing the post with his 1million followers, he wrote: ‘Yea I see the reports but I knew your heart. Filmed by @roo0990. @liampayne originally wanted us & @chrisbrownofficial on this. A musical moment & tribute to @liampayne.’
Emotional fans in the comments section shared their thoughts, with one saying: ‘Goosebumps. Thoughts and prayers out to you and his family;
‘Thank you for sharing this Sam. It is a healing for our heart. Though there is no comfort the pain is too much. We miss Liam so much. We wanted to see him well to release new music because it is what made him happy. And it didn’t happen.
‘I hope we get to hear all of LP2 one day. He was so talented. Everyone deserves to hear Liam’; ‘It sounds so good. Breaks my heart again’;
‘This is so good…’; ‘Hearing Liam’s angel voice breaks me over and over again, this is a beautiful song I know it would have been a huge success’; ‘Everything feels unreal, I miss him’; ‘This sounds like a banger’; ‘Literally breaking my heart because I know it would’ve been a huge success.’
The posthumous song will be released on Friday – two weeks after his tragic death.
The producer hopes their song ‘eclipses the negative echoes’ and provides some ‘healing power’ for his loved ones and fans as they mourn the devastating loss.
Sharing the track’s artwork, an angel with a broken heart above its head, on X/Twitter=, Sam wrote: ‘I pray that this will be a blessing to the world like Liam has always dreamed.
‘I pray angels will comfort you all everyday while listening. I pray that this song will be a blessing to [Liam’s sister] Ruth, [son] Bear, and the entire family.
‘I pray that this song eclipses the negative echoes. I pray supernatural positive healing power will embrace each and every one of you… With love let’s all BE the blessing.’
Sam recently revealed to his Instagram followers that Liam was keen to get Chris Brown to feature on Do Know Wrong.
Fans of Liam poignantly reacted to news of the new song penning on X: ‘I will show my love and support for him. I just wish he was here to see this.’,
‘We’ll make him proud one more time.’, ‘Ya know how much this would have meant to him.’,
‘This is amazing. hope we can do everything in our power to make Liam’s voice reach the world.’
Tragically, the musician was in talks for a 2025 tour before his death.
The star was reportedly in negotiations for a series of live dates next year but friends were concerned he would not be able to handle time on the road.
A source told The Mirror: ‘When it emerged that Liam had been talking to new people about a series of dates, there was a great deal of unease among his friends that this was a bad idea.
‘Liam had split from his management about six months ago, and it would not have been something they would have recommended at the current time.’
Liam previously opened up about his second solo album at a fan event and revealed all the songs told a story from his life.
He said: ‘This time, the scariest part is that every one of these songs is a story from my life. And they’re really close to me.
‘I hope people feel that through every song, that I actually felt whatever it is you’re feeling right now listening to this.’
He added: ‘We’ve rewritten a lot of these songs based off the idea of where we’re going with this and also how I’m feeling as a person.
‘I used to show up to sing a song, then go. Absolutely not this time. We’re going to have fun with this.’
