Artiestinformatie

Geboortedatum	29-08-1993
Land	Verenigd Koninkrijk

In 2008 doet Liam Payne auditie bij de Britse X Factor, waar hij het nummer Fly Me To The Moon (van Frank Sinatra) zingt. Zonder resultaat, waarna hij in 2010 opnieuw auditie doet en één van de vijf leden van One Direction wordt. Het succes van One Direction groeit tot ongekende hoogtes. Payne schrijft veel nummers die op de vijf albums van de boyband verschijnen. Vanaf januari 2016 neemt One Direction een pauze zodat de leden, na het vertrek van Zayn nog vier, solo-activiteiten kunnen ontplooien.

Inmiddels heeft Liam in 2014 zijn eigen bedrijf, Hampton Music Limited, opgericht. In 2017 krijgt hij met zijn vriendin Cheryl Cole een zoon, Bear.

Liam Payne is de laatste One Direction-zanger die met een solo-single op de proppen komt. Samen met Quavo brengt hij in mei 2017 het nummer Strip That Down uit. Het wordt zijn solo-debuut in de Top 40. Een maand later is hij ook te horen op Get Low, de samenwerking met de Duitse dj Zedd. Vooruitlopend op de release van zijn debuutalbum wordt Bedroom Floor in oktober zijn volgende single.

Met Rita Ora levert Payne begin 2018 de titelsong van de film Fifty Shades Freed af, For You. 538 bekroont die single tot Alarmschijf. Ondertussen loopt zijn relatie met Cheryl op de klippen. Eind augustus verschijnt zijn eerste ep, First Time. Terwijl de titeltrack, een samenwerking met French Montana, in de Tipparade staat komen we zijn naam ook tegen op Polaroid, een nummer dat hij met de Britse dj en producer Jonas Blue en de Canadese zangeres Lennon Stella maakt. In september van 2019 verschijnt Stack It Up, een track met A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie waaraan ook Ed Sheeran meeschreef.

Op 8 april verschijnt Midnight, een samenwerking met dj en producer Alesso. In augustus 2021 lanceert hij de single Sunshine. De single is te horen in de animatiefilm Ron’s Gone Wrong.

Songtekst

Huncho
Quavo
Yo, yo

You know I've been taking some time
And I've been keeping to myself (Self)
I had my eyes up on the prize
Ain't watching anybody else
But your love, it hit me hard, girl
Yeah, you're bad for my health
I love the cards, that I've been dealt
Do you feel the same as well

You know I used to be in 1D
Now I'm out, free
People want me for one thing
That's not me
I'm not changing the way
That I used to be
I just wanna have fun and
Get rowdy
One coke and Bacardi
Sipping lightly
When I walk inside the party
Girls on me
F1 type Ferrari
Six gear speed
Girl, I love it when your body
Grinds on me, baby (Oh yeah, oh)

You know I love it when the music's loud
But come on, strip that down for me, baby
Now there's a lot of people in the crowd
But only you can dance with me
So put your hands on my body
And swing that round for me, baby (Swing)
You know I love it when the music's loud
But come on, strip that down for me, baby

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, strip that down, girl
Love when you hit the ground, girl
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, strip that down, girl
Love when you hit the ground

You know that since the day I met you
Yeah, you swept me off my feet
You know that I don't need no money
When your love is beside me
Yeah, you opened up my heart
And then you threw away the key
Girl, now it's just you and me
And you don't care about where I've been

You know I used to be in 1D
Now I'm out, free (Free)
People want me for one thing
That's not me
I'm not changing the way
That I used to be
I just wanna have fun and
Get rowdy (Ooh)
One coke and Bacardi
Sipping lightly
When I walk inside the party
Girls on me
F1 type Ferrari
Six gear speed
Girl, I love it when your body
Grinds on me, baby (Oh)

You know I love it when the music's loud
But come on, strip that down for me, baby
Now there's a lot of people in the crowd
But only you can dance with me
So put your hands on my body
And swing that round for me, baby
You know I love it when the music's loud
But come on, strip that down for me, baby (Oh)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, strip that down, girl (Aye)
Love when you hit the ground, girl
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, strip that down, girl (Oh oh oh oh)
Love when you hit the ground
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, strip that down, girl (Yeah)
Love when you hit the ground, girl
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, strip that down, girl (Ooh, oh)
Love when you hit the ground, girl (Quavo)

She gon' strip it down for a thug, yeah (Strip it down)
Word around town, she got the buzz, yeah (Word)
Five shots in, she in love now (Shots)
I promise when we pull up, shut the club down (Key)
I took her from her man, don't nobody know (Know)
If you brought the CL, better drive slow (Slow)
She know how to make me feel with my eyes closed (Oh)
Anything goes down with the Huncho (Huncho)

You know I love it when the music's loud
But come on, strip that down for me, baby
Now there's a lot of people in the crowd
But only you can dance with me
So put your hands on my body
And swing that round for me, baby
You know I love it when the music's loud
But come on, strip that down for me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on, strip that down for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't say nothing, girl
Strip that down for me (Strip it down)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All I want, girl
If you strip that down for me (Strip it down)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're the one, girl
Come on, strip that down for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
