Asked by a fan on Twitter if the first single from the new record will be a ballad or a rock 'n' roll tune, the Manchester rocker replied: "Always come back with a banger to wake people up".

Last year also saw the Wall Of Glass singer reveal his new album was "shaping up well" and was expected to land in 2021.

He even went as far as to tease it's title, telling Zane Lowe: " The next one is going to be called Come On You Know, pure positive."Right legit.

"As soon as I get the titles man, we are off."

Though Liam fans will be eager to hear new material, they were gifted with a treat during the pandemic with his heartfelt festive single, All You're Dreaming Of - with net proceeds going towards Action For Children UK.
