Liam Payne is the last One Direction member to go solo. His debut single, ’Strip That Down’ featuring Quavo was released on Friday. Unlike his former bandmates, Payne’s sound has a hip-hop influence. His new track was co-written by Ed Sheehan and Steve Mac. “I was in L.A. at my house, and I got a call like ‘Ed Sheeran’s in the studio and he’s writing this song — it’s about you and it’s for you so come down and have a listen. Within 30 minutes, we finished it off. When you get to collaborate with people like Ed Sheeran, it’s great.” Liam Payne told Sirius XM Hits 1 about his collaboration. Payne’s debut album is expected to be released sometime this year.
