The music world is set to receive a poignant tribute as a new track by Liam Payne is slated for release on November 1. This song, titled “Do No Wrong,” was recorded prior to the former One Direction star’s untimely passing on October 16. Earlier this year, Payne collaborated with Grammy-winning producer Sam Pounds in the studio, working on what was meant to be a follow-up album to his debut.
Sam Pounds recently shared the artwork for the single, featuring an angelic image, and expressed heartfelt wishes that the song would serve as a source of comfort and healing. He emphasized the importance of the song for Payne’s family, including his sister Ruth and son Bear, hoping it would bring solace to those mourning the artist’s loss. Pounds conveyed his aspiration that the song would overshadow any negativity and encourage listeners to embrace love and positivity during this difficult time.
“Do No Wrong,” co-written with his sister Ruth Gibbins, contains deeply emotional lyrics that reflect the bond between them. Lines like “She can do no wrong and she’s in my arms / She’s a once in a lifetime love” suggest a personal narrative, likely inspired by their shared experiences and the love within their family. This release aims to honor Payne’s legacy while allowing fans a glimpse into his heartfelt sentiments.
Despite having recorded an album earlier in the year, Payne faced challenges in the music industry, including a lack of success with his single “Teardrops.” This ultimately led to his departure from his record label. At a fan event, he had spoken candidly about the personal nature of his music, revealing that each song was a story drawn from his own life, meant to resonate with his audience.
Tragically, Liam Payne’s life was cut short following an accident in Buenos Aires, where he fell from a hotel balcony. Following his death, fans gathered in London’s Hyde Park to pay tribute, singing “What Makes You Beautiful” in his honor and leaving messages of love and remembrance. Ruth Gibbins has since shared her commitment to ensuring that Bear knows just how remarkable his father was, underscoring the enduring impact of Payne’s life and music on his lo
ved ones.
