Revealed: Liam Payne's 'love song for his ex Naomi Campbell' recorded just weeks before his death - which he died believing would be his next hit


The former One Direction star dated Naomi Campbell for several months in 2019 and began composing the song 'Closer to You' shortly after their break-up.

The Mail on Sunday understands that Liam, who died in October after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina aged just 31, was extremely proud of the record and, we have been told, Ms Campbell is aware he composed the song in her honour. Liam traveled to Sweden in August where he recorded the final version of the song with producer and composer Rani Yacoub who penned One Direction’s biggest hit ‘What Makes You Beautiful.’ Ms Campbell has not commented about his death but put a broken heart, dove emojis and prayer hands beneath a photograph of Liam posted by singer Nicole Scherzinger after his fatal fall.
