In 2010, Liam returned to The X Factor's seventh season, auditioning with " Cry Me a River" by Arthur Hamilton. He received a standing ovation from the audience, and from Simon, before scoring a "yes" from all four judges. At boot camp, he sang "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" by Oasis.
All three judges were impressed, but Simon felt he was "one-dimensional". The band placed third, but went on to sign a record deal with Simon Cowell's label Syco Music, and released five best-selling albums between 20.Īs such, he was eliminated as a solo artist, then placed into One Direction. Payne and Tomlinson co-wrote the majority of One Direction's songs, often referring to each other as a writing team. In 2014, Payne co-wrote a song for Cheryl, titled "I Won't Break", featured on her fourth album Only Human. In the same year, Liam remixed One Direction's " You & I" and " Steal My Girl". Payne and Tomlinson were named in 2015 as some of Song Splits Top Songwriters in the World. The annual list showcases who in the entertainment industry is the most relevant and valuable, based on airplay, digital sales and web streams. For One Direction's fifth album Made in the A.M., Liam played instruments on Hey Angel, co-produced and played all instruments on " Love You Goodbye" and remixed " Drag Me Down". In 2015, Liam co-wrote a song for Irish boy band Hometown called "The Night We Met". In 20, Liam collaborated with American rapper Juicy J on several tracks which remain unreleased. Liam confirmed a solo record deal with Capitol Records in July 2016. He said "Happy to have signed to Capitol Records. They have an amazing history of artists, I hope I can follow in their footsteps." He clarified the signing was not an exit from One Direction.
Marketing-management company Doyen Global announced Liam as their new client, confirming Liam's departure from Modest Management. In October, Republic Records announced they would serve as Liam's United States record label. Throughout 20, Liam began working on his debut solo album.
