It's been a long time coming but former One Direction star Liam Payne has officially dropped his debut solo single 'Strip That Down'.

'Strip That Down' is Liam's first solo single since One Direction announced their hiatus at the end of 2015.
The singer shot to fame when he first auditioned for The X Factor in 2008 but was sadly eliminated by Simon at the judges' houses stage. Coming back stronger, Liam returned in 2010 and was later put into boyband One Direction alongside Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan.
Despite finishing third on the show, One Direction went on to become one of the biggest selling boybands and scored a massive 14 top ten hits, including four number ones.
