During his sold-out show, Harry played the track titled What Is Enough, after addressing the packed crowd on Friday night.


"I'm gonna play you a song I wrote for my friend about two years ago, if that's all right," the Watermelon Sugar crooner told the crowd after giving an emotional speech about loss and urging fans to keep an eye out for and support each other.

Liam Payne passed away at the age of 31 on October 16, 2024, after a fatal fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Meanwhile, Louise also has a song he released for his late teammate.

The singer released Dark to Light, a track which is part of his album How Did I Get Here?, released January 23, 2026.

It was reported that the title and lyrics are a subtle nod to Liam's chest tattoo ["Where dark meets light"], and Louis also shared the song with Liam's family before its release.
