Sam Pounds Holds Back Liam Payne’s Final Single to Honor Family’s Wishes
Music producer Sam Pounds, who worked closely with Liam Payne on what would have been his last single, “Do No Wrong,” has decided to delay its release. Initially set to debut this Friday, the track will now remain unreleased until Payne’s family determines the right time to share it—if they choose to do so.
Pounds, a producer known for collaborations with stars like Jamie Foxx and Wiz Khalifa, announced on X, “Today I’m deciding to hold Do No Wrong and leave those liberties up to all family members. I want all proceeds to go to a charity of their choosing (or however they desire).” Pounds added that while he loves the track, he feels “it’s simply not the time yet” as Payne’s loved ones continue to mourn, saying, “We will all wait.”
Originally, Pounds had hoped the release could be a fitting tribute to Payne’s legacy. However, he later pulled back his posts about the single’s release, recognizing that the timing felt too soon after Payne’s tragic passing.
Payne, a beloved member of the former boy band One Direction, contributed to five chart-topping albums with the group and later pursued a solo career, releasing LP1 in 2019. His final project, a Netflix singing competition series called Building the Band, is also on hold as the music world and Payne’s family cope with his loss.
Liam Payne is remembered by his parents, Geoff and Karen, his sisters Ruth and Nicola, and his 7-year-old son, Bear.
Catholics across Benue State came together on Thursday in a heartfelt prayer walk, seeking God’s help for peace to return to the troubled region. The walk, which drew large crowds from different parishes, was marked by hymns, placards, and quiet reflection. Priests, religious groups, and lay faithful joined in solidarity as they moved through the streets.
They also prayed for the victims of the recent violence, including those killed in the attack on Yelwata, Guma Local Government Area, where many lives were lost. Those who took part in the procession spoke out about the rising insecurity and called for healing, unity, and a renewed sense of justice in the state.
