March 1 (UPI) -- Liam Payne is back with new music.

The singer and One Direction member released the single "Teardrops" on Friday.

Payne wrote "Teardrops" with Jamie Scott and 'N Sync member JC Chasez.

The song "references the rhythmic pop of the late 90s and early 00s, talking about first heartbreaks within a relationship," according to Republic Records.

In a post on Instagram, Payne said "Teardrops" is "born from many tears, not all mine."
