London: A new single featuring Liam Payne, the former One Direction singer who died earlier this month after falling from his Buenos Aires hotel room, will be released on Friday, a collaborator said.

Announcing the upcoming release, US singer and songwriter Sam Pounds said that he hoped the track, "Do No Wrong", would be "a blessing to the world", including Payne's grieving family.

"I pray that this song eclipses the negative echoes," he posted on social media, alongside black and white artwork for the single featuring a winged angel rising upwards towards a broken heart.

"I pray supernatural positive healing power will embrace each and every one of you," Pounds added.

Payne was found dead on October 16 after falling from the balcony of his third-floor room at the Casa Sur Hotel in the Argentinian capital.
