Liam Payne has previously said that One Direction’s new album is "a bit Oasis-y" and it turns out, he might be telling the truth!

A video of him singing ‘Wonderwall’ to a packed bar in France has appeared online and quite frankly, we're impressed...

The clip - which features the 21-year-old megastar backed by a live band - follows Noel Gallagher’s recent criticism of former member Zayn Malik, with him branding the star a “f***ing idiot” after his departure from the group.

Despite the 47-year-old rocker's appetite for throwing shade at 1D, the four-piece still seem happy to take inspiration from the Britpop legends.

Speaking to Capital FM about their fifth studio album, Liam revealed: “The boys we've been writing with have come up with some great, great songs that are kind of like a bit Oasis-y almost, which is ace. I love that."

Noel is yet to comment on Liam's cover, but at least Liam Gallagher has 1D's back after defending the boys on Twitter last month.

Hey NG leave those 1d kids alone LG x

Going out tonight
Changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Everything she never had, she's showing off

Driving too fast
Moon is breaking through her hair
She's heading for something that she won't forget
Having no regrets is all that she really wants

We're only getting older, baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you

Chasing her tonight
Doubts are running 'round her head
He's waiting, hides behind a cigarette
Heart is beating loud and she doesn't want it to stop

Moving too fast
Moon is lighting up her skin
She's falling, doesn't even know it yet
Having no regrets is all that she really wants

We're only getting older, baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you...

Going out tonight
Changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Reminds her of the missing piece of innocence she lost

We're only getting older, baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change, baby
It will never change, baby
It will never change me and you
