EXCLUSIVE: Liam Payne Reveals All About the 'For You' Video
We caught up with the 'Strip that Down' star at the BRITs launch party...
It's no secret that Liam Payne is killing it right now. After dominating charts around the world as one-fifth of One Direction, he's since gone on to launch a really successful solo career. From 'Bedroom Floor' to 'Get Low', his singles have been massive.
On Saturday he exclusively opened up to us about his upcoming 'For You' music video with Rita Ora at the BRITs launch party.
Inside you're beautiful
Something so unusual
In your eyes, I know I'm home (yeah)
Every tear, every fear
Gone with the thought of you
Changing what I thought I knew
I'll be yours for a thousand lives
I'm free as a bird when I'm flying in your cage
I'm diving in deep and I'm riding with no brakes
And I'm bleeding in love; You're swimming in my veins
You got me now
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na, ayy
For love, 'til I found you (oh)
Skin to skin, breathe me in
Feeling your kiss on me
Lips are made of ecstasy
I'll be yours for a thousand nights
(A thousand lights)
I'm free as a bird when I'm flying in your cage (so lost)
I'm diving in deep and I'm riding with no brakes (no luck)
And I'm bleeding in love; You're swimming in my veins
You've got me now (now, now)
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na, ayy
For love, 'til I found you (oh)
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na, ayy
For love, 'til I found you (oh)
I'm free as a bird when I'm flying in your cage
I'm diving in deep and I'm riding with no brakes
And I'm bleeding in love; You're swimming in my veins
You got me now
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na, ayy
For love, 'til I found you (oh)
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na, ayy
For love, 'til I found you (oh)
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na, ayy
For love, 'til I found you (oh)
The two popstars released the Fifty Shades Freed lead single earlier this month and Liam spilled all about its upcoming music video. "It was really cold and for some reason I got to stay inside the whole time and [Rita] had to go outside a lot of the time.
He then discussed their outfits: "smaller, skimpier dresses, suited man. It doesn't really make sense but that was the theme."
Poor Rita. We're sure that it would have been worth it though. Judging by what Liam has told us, the video will be amazing.
Speaking to us about what it was like to do a duet with Rita, Liam revealed: "It was fantastic [...] and obviously we got to record it together, which has been the nicest thing so far. [...] Just doing it the old-fashioned way where we're in the same studio."
He then added "I've made a really great friend in her." This is too sweet. We can't wait to see them perform 'For You' live.
'For You' entered the UK Top 40 at Number 11 on this week's chart and is on track to climb into the Top 10 this Friday.
With Fifty Shades Freed not even out yet, 'For You' could go on to become Rita and Liam's next Top 5 hit.
If the video is as amazing as it sounds, it could even become a Number 1. We await it with bated breath!
