On social media, US singer and songwriter Sam Pounds, who worked with the One Direction member on Do No Wrong, had earlier stated that the song would be released on November 1.
As a “blessing” to Payne’s family, he had expressed his wish that the music “eclipses the negative echoes” of Payne’s passing.
However, the North Carolina star stated that “it’s not the time yet” and thus delayed the publication of the song, which incorporates Payne’s vocals.
