1D Meets ‘NSync as Liam Payne, JC Chasez Team Up for New Song ‘Teardrops’

One Direction's Liam Payne is back with his first solo single in three years, 'Teardrops,' which was co-written with 'NSync's JC Chasez.

Fittingly, the track harkens back to that late-90s/turn-of-the-millenium sound, with a somber, twinkling guitar weeping behind booming pop production. It has been a tumultuous couple of years for Payne, starting back in 2022 when he went on Logan Paul’s podcast and made some loaded comments about his former 1D bandmates, specifically Zayn Malik. The backlash from fans was fierce, and along with issuing an apology, Payne later revealed the incident was one of several reasons he decided to check into a sobriety treatment program.
