The fans were not having it!

Liam Payne’s first posthumous single, “Do No Wrong,” which was set to release on November 1st of this year, was delayed indefinitely due to fan backlash.

Before his sudden passing on October 16th in Buenos Aires, Liam was working on a track titled “Do No Wrong” with singer-songwriter Sam Pounds. After Liam’s death, Pounds announced on social media that they would release the song on November 1st, dedicating it to Liam’s loved ones and fans. In a heartfelt message, Pounds expressed hopes for the song to be a source of comfort and inspiration to Liam’s family and listeners, though the post was later removed.

Fans reacted strongly to the planned release of Liam’s posthumous single “Do No Wrong,” feeling that it came too soon and raised concerns about exploitation. Responding to the backlash, Sam Pounds reconsidered, deciding to defer the release to Liam’s family. This move was seen as a respectful acknowledgment of the public’s sentiments and the importance of Liam’s legacy being handled with sensitivity.

Sam Pounds announced he would delay releasing “Do No Wrong,” a song he and Liam had worked on, and instead leave the decision to Liam’s family. Pounds expressed a desire for any future proceeds to go to a charity chosen by the family, adding that, while the song is beloved, it’s not yet the right time. His new statement emphasizes respect for the family’s mourning process and the importance of privacy during their grief.
