Liam Payne slams One Direction in his debut single, Strip That Down.
In the track, the singer says, “You know, I used to be in 1D. Now I’m out and free.”
Fans are not very happy with Liam, as these lyrics make it sound like he was trapped in the much-loved band
Lyrically, the song is surprisingly simple and straightforward, and it relies very heavily on pop themes like letting loose at the club and drinking Coke and Bacardi.

Reviews have already been pouring in for the brand new track, and it doesn’t look good for Liam so far.
A review from Forbes says, “The track is built on top of an incredibly basic hip-hop beat that immediately sounds out of place coming from Liam Payne.
“The track attempts a swag that Payne can’t pull off, and even songwriters Steve Mac and Ed Sheeran couldn’t make this work. Though if Sheeran had tried, it may have played differently.”
