Hi!
-
Hi! I'm Liam Payne and I'm here at Refinery29
-
to do a special event for my fans.
-
They're upstairs right now and they think that they're
-
going to come here to do a
-
congratulations video for Liam's new single,
-
Strip That Down.
-
We're so excited!
-
Hi!
-
What they don't know is
-
they're actually here to meet me.
-
Are you ready?
-
Let's do it.
-
Okay, so we're going to ask you a couple of questions.
-
So just look at the camera right here.
-
Tell me: what do you think about Liam?
-
Liam is my favorite person in the whole entire world.
-
His smile just makes me smile all the time.
-
Nothing matters more to me than his happiness.
-
I just love his personality and spirit.
-
Everything he does is just amazing.
-
His songs are incredible.
-
His dancing, obviously.
-
I love Liam because he's so supportive
-
and he's always been there for his fans.
-
He's so humble.
-
He's so sweet.
-
He's honestly just perfect.
-
I currently have $2,000 saved up for Liam's tour.
-
We have matching tattoos.
-
Like everything.
-
And so what do you think about Strip That Down?
-
I love Strip That Down.
-
Our favorite song is Strip That Down.
-
Oh, so good.
-
So good.
-
Okay, I'm going to play it for you guys.
-
(singing) You know I've been taking some time
-
and I've been keeping to myself...
-
Oh my...
-
Hello!
-
(singing) You know, I used to be in 1D
-
Now I'm out, free!
-
Holy $#!^!
-
Oh my god.
-
Hi there!
-
Hi.
-
Oh my god!
-
I must've blended in.
-
Hello!
-
Hi.
-
Hi there. How's it going? Nice to meet you. I'm Liam.
-
How are you?
-
It's so nice to meet you.
-
How's it going?
-
Good.
-
You okay?
-
Hi there!
-
How are you?
-
I'm Liam. Nice to meet you.
-
I'm going to sit down.
-
Let's see if we can all fit on here.
-
Oh you're here.
-
Oh my god.
-
Sorry.
-
It's okay.
-
Are you so happy right now?
-
I'm so happy.
-
Are you crying a little bit?
-
A little bit.
-
Are you surprised?
-
Yeah, I'm surprised.
-
I like you more than my boyfriend.
-
What does your boyfriend have to say about that?
-
I don't think he's going to like that very much.
-
Oh dear.
-
Yeah.
-
You're amazing.
-
Oh my god.
-
Sorry.
-
You're making me go all shy now.
-
Is there anything that you want to know.
-
This is your chance to know everything now
-
or maybe not everything but a lot of things.
-
What is your inspiration for Strip That Down?
-
For Strip That Down,
-
I think for me I took so long to get into the solo mode.
-
It was kind of a bit of a depiction of
-
how I felt about becoming a solo artist and where
-
I wanted to go.
-
So I thought it was quite important to lay out the paint
-
before I get started.
-
Awesome.
-
Did you like it?
-
I do love it.
-
You have two songs on
-
the Billboard Top 100 charts right now.
-
—How does that make you feel? –Woo woo!
-
Just like that.
-
No, it's amazing.
-
I can't believe it. I'm so lucky.
-
I'm so fortunate.
-
And Zedd wanted me to collab.
-
And obviously they wanted to release when they did.
-
So we've got two in the charts at the moment,
-
the big B, which is great.
-
I love it.
-
What was it like transitioning into a solo artist?
-
It was a strange process because you kind
-
of have to look inside yourself a little about
-
what you're like and also what people think of you.
-
But then also what you want to achieve
-
and that was kind of where Strip That Down came
-
from because that's the kind of place where
-
I placed myself best.
-
And I didn't really want to do a genre…
-
I'm just trying to see what happens.
-
Ever since you had Bear,
-
how's it been balancing your career and being a father?
-
It's not the easiest thing to do in the world obviously
-
because I miss my son terribly.
-
And I think you kind of almost gamble a little bit.
-
You might miss something.
-
I don't want to miss those things in life.
-
When he speaks first and when he giggles
-
and stuff like that.
-
That's the hard part.
-
But I know why I'm doing my job
-
and I have to go and do my job.
-
And I love doing my job.
-
It's great.
-
But I love my family as well.
-
And I'm just very lucky that he's got such a great mom.
-
Thank you for being fans of mine.
-
As a thank you from me personally,
-
we're going to get you tickets to a show as soon as
-
they start.
-
No way.
-
Wait, really?
-
Yeah! Of course.
-
See you guys later.
-
Thank you so much.
-
Thank you.
-
Is this the best day ever?
-
This is the best day ever.
-
Thank you so much.
-

-

-
It was lovely meeting you.
