According to The Sun, the new track was penned by a team of Grammy-nominated songwriters including Emily Warren, Nick Monson and Scott Harris. Each of them has worked with the likes of Britney Spears, Lady GaGa, Nick Jonas and Shawn Mendes.
Liam has been steadily working on new materials, having spent time with Pharrell Williams and Ordinary Boys' Samuel Preston. He also teamed up with his bandmate Louis Tomlinson to co-write a song called "Something That Scares Me About Love".
In October, the 23-year-old singer officially signed solo record deal with Republic Records. "We're honored by Liam's decision to join Republic Records, and have extremely high expectations for his solo career," said Republic Records co-founder and CEO Monte Lipman.
Liam follows in the footsteps of his bandmates to go solo. Niall Horan unleashed his debut solo single "This Town" in October, while Louis released "Just Hold On" featuring DJ Steve Aoki in early December. Former 1D member Zayn Malik dropped his debut solo album "Mind of Mine" in March, while Harry Styles turned to acting, starring in Christopher Nolan-directed World War II movie "Dunkirk".
