00:10Hi, I'm Liam Payne and I'm here at Refinery29 to do a special event for my fans.
00:15They're upstairs right now and they think that they're going to come here to do a congratulations
00:18video for Liam's new single, Strip That Down.
00:21We're so excited.
00:22We're so excited.
00:23What they don't know is they're actually here to meet me.
00:25Are you ready?
00:26Let's do it.
00:31Okay, so we're going to ask you a couple questions.
00:34So just look at the camera right here.
00:36Tell me, what do you think about Liam?
00:38Liam is my favorite person in the whole entire world.
00:41His smile just makes me smile all the time.
00:44Nothing matters more to me than his happiness.
00:46I just love his personality and spirit.
00:49Everything he does is just amazing.
00:51His songs are incredible, his dancing, obviously.
00:55I love Liam because he's so supportive and he's always been there for his fans.
01:00He's so humble.
01:01He's so sweet.
01:03He's honestly just perfect.
01:04I currently have $2,000 saved up for Liam's tour.
01:08We have matching tattoos, like everything.
01:10So what do you think about Strip That Down?
01:11I love Strip That Down.

01:15Oh, it's so good.
01:15So good.
01:16Okay, I'm going to play it for you guys.
01:17Yeah!
01:20You know I've been seeking some time and I've been keeping to myself so far that my eyes upon the
01:27bros and not to anybody.
01:28No!

02:10Okay.
02:11I'm Liam.
02:12Nice to meet you.
02:12Hi.
02:14Sit down.
02:15Let's see if we can all fit on here.
02:17Oh, you're here.
02:18Oh, my God.
02:19Oh, my God.
02:20Sorry.
02:21That's okay.
02:22Are you so happy right now?
02:23I'm so happy.
02:25I'm like, I'm crying a little bit.
02:27Are you surprised?
02:28Yeah, I'm surprised.
02:30I like you more than my boyfriend.
02:31I'm sorry.
02:31What does your boyfriend have to say about that?
02:33I don't think he's going to like that very much.
02:34Oh, do you?
02:35Yeah.
02:36You're amazing.
02:37Oh, my God.
02:37Sorry.
02:39You're making me go all shy now.
02:41Oh, my God.
02:42Is there anything you want to know?
02:43This is your chance.
02:44You know everything now.
02:46Oh, my God.
02:46Maybe not everything, but a lot of things.
02:49What is your inspiration for Strip That Down?
02:52For Strip That Down?
02:53I think for me, because I took so long to get into the solo mode,
02:56it was kind of a bit of a depiction of how I felt
02:59about becoming a solo artist and where I wanted to go,
03:03so I thought it was quite important to lay out the playing
03:04field before I started.
03:06That's awesome.
03:06Do you like it?
03:07I do love it.
03:08You have two songs on the Billboard Top 100 charts right now.
03:12How does that make you feel?
03:14Just like that.
03:15Oh, it's amazing.
03:16I can't believe it.
03:16I'm so lucky and I'm so fortunate that Zed wanted to collab
03:20and obviously they wanted to release when they did,
03:21so we've got two in the charts at the moment, baby,
03:24which is great.
03:24I love it.
03:25What was it like transitioning into a solo artist?
03:28It was a strange process because you kind of have to like
03:32look inside yourself a little bit about what you're like
03:34and then also what people think of you,
03:37but then also what you want to achieve,
03:39and that was kind of where Strip That Down came from
03:41because that's kind of the place where I base myself best,
03:44but I mean, I didn't really want to do like a genre thing,
03:46but I'm just trying to see what happens.
03:48Ever since you had Bear, how has it been balancing your career
03:52and being a father?
03:53It's not the easiest thing to do in the world, obviously,
03:55because I miss my son terribly,
03:57and I think you kind of almost gamble a little bit
03:59that you might miss something.
04:00I don't want to miss little things in life.
04:02When he speaks first and then he giggles and stuff like that,
04:05that's the hard part, but I know why I'm doing my job
04:07and I have to go and do my job,
04:09and I love doing my job, it's great,
04:11but I love my family as well and I'm just very lucky
04:14that he's got such a great mum.
04:15Thank you for being fans of mine,
04:16and as a thank you from me personally,
04:18we're going to get you tickets to a show
04:20as soon as they start.
04:22No way.
04:23Wait, really?
04:24Yeah, of course.
04:25Oh my God.
04:25Thank you so much.
04:27Is this the best day ever?
04:28This is the best day ever.
04:30Yay.
04:31Thank you so much.
04:32I'm so glad to go out there.
04:34Tell us.
04:35Gosh.

04:37I would have wanted to be cuter.
