Although it's not yet understood which tracks will feature on Liam's EP, the former One Direction singer did explain to fans why he is delaying his full album.

He wrote, 'As you may know, the last few months have seen some big changes for me... I looked at some of the songs on my album which were done a while ago and they felt from another age.

'I'm determined for my album to truly represent me. I'm now back in the studio working hard to finalise the final few songs on the record - I'm genuinely excited about the music I'm writing and recording and I can't wait for it to be ready for you all.

'In the meantime, this EP is a collection of songs that I'm really proud of and want you all to hear... tell me what you think. As always, thanks for your support - it means the world to me.'

After dating for over two years and sharing a son together, Liam and Cheryl announced their split on July 1st.

Liam took to Twitter to post about the 'tough decision' that the couple had to make, writing, 'Cheryl and I are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It's been a tough decision for us to make. We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together'.
