Liam Payne parted ways with Republic Records in September 2024, shortly before his untimely death. The decision was attributed to his struggles with drug addiction and failure to promote his recent music. Following a disappointing promotional period, which saw multiple canceled opportunities, Republic Records opted to terminate the relationship citing health concerns. Despite these challenges, Payne managed to sign with new talent representation and was involved in a Netflix singing competition. Friends noted his positive attitude during the filming process, raising hopes for his recovery.
It was decided by the label, given these factors combined with concerns for his health, to terminate the working relationship rather than further release music.
He and I immediately connected on not only a music level but a human level, like we had this mutual understanding given our backgrounds.
