Liam Payne has reportedly recorded a new song that will be featured in an upcoming Disney film.

The singer, 27, is said to have been approached about providing vocals for a track for Ron’s Gone Wrong, which is being co-produced by the studio alongside 20th Century Fox.

An insider told Daily Star: ‘Liam was asked earlier this year to do a song for Ron’s Gone Wrong.

‘The track isn’t intended to be part of his second era following LP1 [Liam’s debut studio album] but more as an addition.’

The source also suggested that Liam and his team hope to release more new music prior to the film’s release, which is currently scheduled for October.

They added that ‘plans are in motion’ for the end of lockdown, with Liam also scheduled to perform in Brazil at the end of the year, and India in 2022.

If true, Liam will follow in the footsteps of his former One Direction bandmate Zayn Malik, who covered A Whole New World for the 2019 live-action remake of Disney’s Aladdin.

Liam released his most recent single Midnight, a collaboration with AJ Alesso, in April 2020.

The news comes after the former One Direction star recently confirmed that he and Maya Henry had split after two years of dating, and months after announcing their engagement.

Chatting to Dragons’ Den star Steven Bartlett on his YouTube series Diary Of A CEO, Liam opened up on his relationship status with the 21-year-old model.

When asked if he was single, he clarified: ‘I am indeed’, explaining they ended things in lockdown.

Lifting the lid on their relationship, Liam explained: ‘I feel like more than anything at this point, I’m more disappointed in myself that I keep on hurting people. That annoys me. I’ve just not been very good at relationships.

‘And I know what my pattern of things is with relationships, I feel at this point. I’m just not very good at them so I just need to work on myself before I put myself on to somebody else.’

During his appearance on the show, the father-of-one also candidly opened up about having ‘suicidal ideations’ during his time in One Direction, while ‘severely’ struggling with his mental health.
