The former One Direction singer has taken to social media today (May 11) to announce he will drop his debut solo effort, entitled ‘Strip That Down’ next week, after posting a teaser video on both Instagram and Twitter.

The new video is a longer version of one posted by the star in which he can be seen shirtless flexing his muscles whilst a snippet of the song plays in the background. At the end of the new clip, Liam can be seen tearing the screen as though it is a piece of paper, to reveal the words “Strip That Down” as well as the release date “19.05.17”.

Liam – who has one-month-old son Bear with his girlfriend Cheryl – captioned the video: “Mad excited to announce my new single Strip That Down ft. @quavohuncho out May 19th#STRIPTHATDOWN (sic)”

The track is set to feature vocals from Quavo Huncho, who makes up one third of the rap group Migos. The rapper recently revealed the pair have filmed a music video for the record.

Liam, 23, is the last of his band mates to release solo material, with Harry Styles’ album set for release on Friday (12.05.17) and Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson both releasing singles last year in the form of ‘This Town’ and ‘Just Hold On’ respectively. Former member Zayn – who left the ‘History’ hitmakers in 2015 prior to their hiatus – released his debut album ‘Mind of Mine’ last year.
