There's no denying that Liam Payne's solo career has gotten off to an amazing start. His debut single 'Strip That Down' has gone Platinum in the UK and in the US and his Zedd collaboration 'Get Low' was one of the songs of the summer this year.

On top of that, he just killed his performance of 'Strip That Down' at the MTV EMAs.

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 (Sippin' 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)
Oh yeah

You know, I love it, when the music's loud
But c'mon, 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 c'mon, strip that down for me (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 'bout where I've been

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, ooh)
One Coke and Bacardi (Sippin' 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)
Ooh

You know, I love it, when the music's loud
But c'mon, 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 (Yeah)
You know, I love it when the music's loud
But c'mon, strip that down for me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh, strip that down, girl
Love when you hit the ground, girl (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) (Strip that down)
Oh, strip that down, girl
Love, when you hit the ground (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, strip that down, girl
Love when you hit the ground, girl (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) (Yeah)
Oh, strip that down, girl
Love, when you hit the ground (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(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 (Hey)
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 (Skrrt skrrt)
Anything goes down with the Huncho (Huncho)

You know, I love it, when the music's loud
But c'mon, 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 c'mon, strip that down for me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, c'mon, strip that down for me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) (Ayy)
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, c'mon, strip that down for me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Wearing a striking blue, orange and white look, Liam slayed the EMA stage with those incredible vocals that made all of One Direction's hits so big. Not only that but the superstar also delivered some of the best choreography of his career to date.

Seriously we've never seen him dance so well. What an incredible popstar.

We're going to need to watch that huge performance a couple more times.

'Strip That Down' hit Number 1 on the US Pop Songs chart earlier this year.

Since then, Liam has not only released the incredible club-ready anthem 'Get Low' but he has also put out the brilliant second single from his upcoming debut solo album. 'Bedroom Floor' is his most grown-up single to date and we adore it.

Seriously if you thought 'Strip That Down' was sexy, this is super steamy.

We cannot wait to find out what Liam does next.

Judging by this performance, it will be massive.
