Liam Payne’s Posthumous Single “Do No Wrong” Pulled from Release as Family Mourns His Death

While exploring a solo career in the music industry, Liam Payne will always be remembered for his time with the hit boy band One Direction. Gaining international stardom while with the band, in 2019, Payne released his only studio album with LP1. Sadly, on October 16th, news broke that Payne passed away when he fell from the third-floor balcony at the CasaSur hotel in Buenos Aires. With many paying their respects to the singer, it appears his newest song “Do No Wrong” was pulled from being released. 

When Payne passed away, social media filled with theories surrounding the singer’s death. Wanting to focus on his legacy more, Sam Pounds decided to release the song they worked on at the time. The musician said he hoped the song would “eclipse the negative echoes” around his friend’s death. But now, it appears Pounds decided to change his mind.

Sharing the reason behind his decision not to release the song, Pounds wrote on Twitter, “Today I’m deciding to hold Do No Wrong and leave those liberties up to all family members. I want all proceeds to go to a charity of their choosing (or however they desire). Even though we all love the song it’s not the time yet. We are all still mourning the passing of Liam and I want the family to mourn in peace and in prayer. We will all wait.”
