Liam Payne and Rita Ora Perform 'For You' Live for the First Time
You need to see this...
It's no secret that 'For You' is one of our favourite singles of the year so far. From the cinematic production and euphoric chorus to Rita's delivery and Liam's ad-libs, it's pop perfection. Plus having both Rita and Liam on the same hit is nothing short of major.
Last night, Rita and Liam performed the Fifty Shades Freed duet live for the first time and it was incredible.
Daylight shines on an undisclosed location, location
Bloodshot eyes lookin' for the sun
Paradise delivered and we call it a vacation, vacation
You're painting me a dream that I
Wanna belong in, wanna belong in
Over the hills and far away
A million miles from L.A.
Just anywhere away with you
I know we've got to get away
Some place where no one knows our name
We'll find the start of something new
Just take me anywhere, take me anywhere
Anywhere away with you
Just take me anywhere, take me anywhere
Anywhere away with you
Fun, little less, fun
Little less
Over-over-over-over
Me, me-me-me, me
Me-me-me, me-me-me-me
Oh
Fun, little less, fun
Little less
Over-over-over-over
Me, me-me-me, me
Me-me-me, me-me-me-me
Truth comes out when we're blacking out
Looking for connection in a crowd of empty faces, empty faces
Your secrets are the only thing I'm craving now
The good and the bad, let me in
'Cause I can take it, I can take it
You're painting me a dream that I
Wanna belong in, wanna belong in
Over the hills and far away
A million miles from L.A.
Just anywhere away with you
I know we've got to get away
Someplace where no one knows our name
We'll find the start of something new
Just take me anywhere, take me anywhere
Anywhere away with you
Fun, little less, fun
Little less
Over-over-over-over
Me, me-me-me, me
Me-me-me, me-me-me-me
Oh
Fun, little less, fun
Little less
Over-over-over-over
Me, me-me-me, me
Me-me-me, me-me-me-me
Take me anywhere
Oh, anywhere
Anywhere away with you, ooh, ooh
Take me anywhere
Over the hills and far away
A million miles from L.A.
Just anywhere away with you (Oh anywhere, anywhere, anywhere)
I know we've got to get away
Someplace where no one knows our name
We'll find the start of something new (Oh we'll find the start of something)
Just take me anywhere
Take me anywhere
Anywhere away with you (Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere)
Just take me anywhere
Take me anywhere (Oh take me anywhere, now)
Anywhere away with you (Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere)
Fun, little less, fun
Little less
Over-over-over-over
Anywhere away with you
Oh
THIS IS NOT A DRILL. RITA AND LIAM HAVE SUNG 'FOR YOU' LIVE TOGETHER AND IT'S SUBLIME.
The stars took to Jimmy Fallon to give the hit collaboration its first live outing and it's safe to say that it was nothing short of amazing. From their soaring vocals to their undeniable chemistry, both artists proved why they are two of the best in the business.
Between this and the 'For You' music video, these living legends are spoiling us with incredible content.

'For You' has so far peaked at Number 11 in the UK and is rising up the charts in the US. With this performance and further promo lined up for the single for the rest of the week, we imagine that it could become one of Rita and Liam's biggest hits to date.
The single already has over 28 million streams on Spotify and 14 million views on YouTube.
So regardless of how high it ends up charting, it is already a monster hit for both popstars.
'For You' is the lead single of the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack that's out February 9th.
The LP stars Dua Lipa, Hailee Steinfeld and Julia Michaels. We cannot wait to hear it.
