Liam Payne stopped by to see James Corden on The Late Late Show last night, and thanks to the host himself we got to catch a glimpse of what it was like when One Direction were still very much together.

You see it all happened when they challenged each other to a Riff Off, as Liam sang some classic solo artist hits (including his own, obvs) while James tried to fight the boyband cause.

Watch! Take a moment to remind yourself just how much you love Liam Payne >>>

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)

But it wasn’t until the very end when they put their heads together and figured now would be as good a time as anyway to bring out One Direction classic Best Song Ever.

With The Filharmonic joining them on vocals it was a really very emotional moment, as we closed our eyes in the hope that when we opened them again Harry, Niall and Louis would be on that stage. Alas, they weren’t.

It made us a realise a number of things as Liam transported us back to the good old days of 2013, including the fact that WE REALLY MISS ONE DIRECTION. LIKE, REALLY REALLY MISS THEM.

Okay we feel a bit better now that we’ve screamed that from the rooftops.
