Liam Payne’s First Posthumous Single Announced as Collaborator Hopes It’s a ‘Blessing’ for His Family

Fans of the late Liam Payne will get to enjoy new music from him very soon.

After the former One Direction member died at age 31 on Oct. 16, Grammy-winning producer Sam Pounds announced the release of Payne’s first posthumous song, a collaboration titled “Do No Wrong.”

“I pray that this will be a blessing to the world like Liam has always dreamed,” wrote Pounds via X (formerly Twitter) on Oct. 28. “I pray angels will comfort you all everyday while listening.”

He then shifted focus to Payne’s loved ones, including his sister and son. “I pray that this song will be a blessing to Ruth, Bear, and the entire family,” said the musician.

Pounds continued, “I pray that this song eclipses the negative echoes. I pray supernatural positive healing power will embrace each and every one of you.”

According to the post, the “Do No Wrong” release will feature the original track, a live mix and an a cappella version — all of which are available to stream on Nov. 1.

Before his death, Payne’s latest music release was a single called “Teardrops” in March.
