Yo yo
You know, I've been taking some time

Ain't watching anybody else
But your love, it hit me hard, girl

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)

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)

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.
