Liam Payne teases new One Direction single 'Midnight Memories' saying music video is coming soon [VIDEOS]

In a brand new, candid video posted to the official One Direction YoutTube account, Liam Payne announced the release of the boy band's newest single "Midnight Memories." This is the title track off of the pop group's hit 2013 album, and it was apparently the first song that Payne and writing partner Louis Tomlinson wrote for the record.

"Our next single is going to be 'Midnight Memories,' which is one of the songs I wrote with Louis [Tomlinson]," Liam says in a video uploaded to the official YouTube channel of One Direction. "This is the first song we wrote on the album, so it kind of paved the way for the whole album's sound and the way it all changed. It's a big, big tune. It's all about the midnight memories, everybody's got 'em, so I hope you enjoy it."

The music video for this new single is reportedly dropping at the end of the week, but this little teaser announcement was most likely enough to hold over some antsy Directioners.

Meanwhile, this is the first time we've seen Liam since his controversial Twitter rant earlier this month after some people got mad about his "support" of A&E reality series Duck Dynasty.

Here's how this all started:

After Liam posted this on his Twitter account, the social media universe erupted in confused, hateful and damning comments for Liam's support of a family involved in another recent controversy. As you can see from his post, though, Liam is pretty specific with saying what he admires and supports. But he still took to Twitter to defend himself.
