HOLD UP: Are Liam Payne And Cheryl Recording A Love Song Together?!

2016’s most surprising love story is still going strong after all these months, with Liam Payne and Cheryl more loved-up than ever before by all accounts.

And after signing his solo deal with Capitol Records, the One Direction star is now ready to record a love song with his X Factor girlfriend, according to those folks at Hollywood Life.

A source told the site that he’s wanted to record something with her for a while, but now that he’s got full creative control he can finally go ahead with it:

“Liam is super excited about his solo career, and owes a lot to Cheryl for being his biggest supporter.

"He’s written tonnes of songs, but one that’s near to his heart is a love song that he’s been working on about his relationship with Cheryl.

"He’d actually like to collaborate with her on the song. Liam would absolutely love to be in the recording booth with his ‘muse’.”

His 'muse’, eh? How fancy.

After celebrating six years of One Direction last week, Liam’s now completely focused on his solo career – which has left Simon Cowell a little bit peeved by all accounts.

Speaking about the biggest X Factor success in the show’s history, the head judge spoke out to praise the “loyalty” of Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan but failed to mention Liam.

He explained: “We are in touch with them all.

“The great thing about all these boys - well not all of them but most of them - they are incredibly loyal and you don’t always expect that.

"Niall, Harry, Louis - amazing.”

Yikes.

We mean, he specifically went out of his way to say that “not all of” One Direction are loyal and then blatantly didn’t name-check Liam…

Shady, nahh?
