Liam Payne's First Posthumous Song to Be Released by Collaborator

As a fellow artist and fan, I can only express my deepest condolences to Liam Payne’s family, friends, and fans. Losing someone so young, especially someone who brought joy to millions, is truly heart-wrenching.


Liam Payne‘s musical legacy lives on.

As a devoted fan, I’m sharing the news that following the passing of a former member of One Direction, his collaborator Sam Pounds has announced the release of our duet titled “Do No Wrong”. This will be the late artist’s first posthumous track, set to drop on November 1st.

On X (formerly Twitter), October 28th, he expressed his hope that this would bring a blessing to the world, just as Liam has long envisioned. He also wished for angels to provide daily comfort to everyone listening.

The musician mentioned that he wishes the song could offer comfort to Payne’s young son, Bear (who is with his mother Cheryl Cole), as well as his sister Ruth Gibbins and the entire family.

Instead of “I pray that this song eclipses the negative echoes,” Pounds said, “I hope this song overpowers any negative vibes.” Furthermore, he expressed, “I wish a powerful, spiritual healing force envelops all of you.

On October 16, Payne tragically passed away following a fall from a balcony on the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the time, he was 31 years old.

In my role as a lifestyle expert, I must share some unfortunate news: Local authorities have confirmed that Payne passed away due to polytraumatism, a term used for individuals who’ve suffered multiple traumatic injuries. This was compounded by both internal and external bleeding, which stemmed from the fall he experienced. Preliminary toxicology results indicated several substances in his system at the time of his demise, among them what appears to be pink cocaine.

Before his death, Payne had been candid about his battles with substance abuse. In a heartfelt tribute to the “Strip That Down” artist, his sister Gibbins penned on October 19th, “I’m sorry I wasn’t able to help you.

She said, “I believe the world hasn’t been fair or compassionate enough towards you, and many times over the past few years, you’ve had to put in a lot of effort to rise above the challenges that came your way. However, it’s clear that all you desired was love and to spread happiness through your music.

I can hardly believe it, but my incredible friend, Liam, is no longer with us. It feels like a dream that just won’t wake me up.

Liam’s former One Direction bandmate reflected on all he wished he could have said to him. 

Reflecting upon our shared journey, it’s hard not to ponder the countless heartfelt exchanges we never got to have, dear friend. There are moments in life when your unwavering support meant everything to me, especially during those challenging times when all I had was a yearning for home. In those moments, you were an unwavering source of positivity and comfort, offering me your friendship and reminding me that I was cherished. Alas, I’ve always wished to express my gratitude for standing by my side in those trying times.

Despite being younger than I am, you consistently displayed more wisdom, standing firm in your convictions without hesitation and never shying away from correcting others when necessary. Occasionally, our views clashed due to this, but I held a deep respect for your courage in speaking up.

Zayn also called Liam “the most qualified” musician in the band “in every sense.”

He penned, “When you departed, I sadly lost a brother. If only I could hug you once more and bid you farewell properly, expressing my love and respect for you deeply. I would give anything to do so.

Louis posted a heartfelt tribute on his Instagram, honoring Liam’s memory and their bond.

In utter disbelief and heartbroken beyond words, I find myself penning this message. Yesterday, I lost a brother – not just any brother, but Liam, who was always an inspiration to me. Every day, he radiated positivity, humor, and kindness that warmed my soul. It was when he was 16 and I was 18 that our paths crossed for the first time. While his voice left me awestruck initially, it was later on that I discovered in him the brother I’d longed for all my life.

In a continued tribute, the artist known for hit song “Back To You,” who frequently collaborated on One Direction tracks with Liam, acknowledged once more the significant influence Liam had on the band.

Liam was an exceptional melodic composer, and we frequently discussed reuniting in the studio to rekindle our creative partnership within the band. He further mentioned, “Liam was, in my view, the essential element of One Direction. His early-life experiences, his uncanny pitch, his charisma on stage, his knack for songwriting – it’s endless. Liam, thank you for molding us.

He’s more than just a talented musician; he’s kind-hearted, filled with humor, sweet as can be, thoughtful in his actions, and incredibly gifted.
