It’s an honor to share a thrilling milestone in our musical journey, one that’s been in the works for quite some time. On Monday night, CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden became the stage for an unforgettable performance of our new song, “Midnight.” And what made it even more special was that this momentous occasion included two incredible musical talents: the late Liam Payne and Alesso. Their involvement in the live performance made the night an experience to remember.
This collaboration marks not only the blending of genres but also the emotional connection and deep admiration we’ve always felt for these artists. From the studio to the stage, bringing “Midnight” to life with such influential figures was a dream come true, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this experience with our fans, friends, and music lovers all over the world.
The Journey to “Midnight”
Before diving into the magic that was the performance on The Late Late Show, it’s important to reflect on the journey that led us here. “Midnight” has been a long time coming. The song itself represents a lot of late-night studio sessions, late-night thoughts, and moments of self-reflection. The inspiration behind the track is rooted in feelings of being caught in between two worlds: the past and the future, uncertainty and clarity, and, of course, the deep longing for connection.
We wanted “Midnight” to feel like an anthem for those late-night thoughts and emotions that everyone experiences—whether it’s reflecting on relationships, memories, or those quiet hours when you feel most alive in the silence. And, as with any project, having the right collaborators made all the difference.
Why Liam Payne and Alesso?
The first name that comes to mind when discussing powerful voices and heart-wrenching storytelling is Liam Payne. As a member of one of the biggest boy bands in the world, One Direction, Liam’s voice has touched millions. Since going solo, he has continued to captivate listeners with his distinct style and emotional depth. When the opportunity to work with him arose, it felt like fate. Liam’s voice was the perfect match to convey the vulnerability and energy that “Midnight” needed.
But it wasn’t just about the vocals. We needed a sound that could amplify the emotion of the song and bring it to a larger scale. That’s where Alesso comes in. The Swedish DJ and producer is a master of blending electronic beats with emotional depth. His ability to craft melodies that elevate a song to anthemic proportions made him the ideal person to help bring our vision for “Midnight” to life. Together, Liam, Alesso, and our team were able to create a track that feels like both a journey and an experience.
A Night to Remember: The Late Late Show with James Corden
On Monday night, CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden turned into the ultimate platform for our collaboration to shine. The excitement was palpable, not just from us, but also from the audience and viewers tuning in from all over the globe. To perform on such a prestigious stage, especially alongside such iconic figures, was an absolute honor.
James Corden has always been a champion of great music and talent, and the energy he brought to the night was unmatched. From the opening notes to the final crescendo, the performance of “Midnight” was an emotional rollercoaster, with every moment amplified by the chemistry between Liam, Alesso, and the rest of the band.
The Magic of Live Performance
There’s something truly special about the way a live performance can take a song to the next level. The connection with the audience, the real-time energy, and the magic of the moment all come together to create something that can never be replicated. Watching Liam and Alesso on stage, pouring their hearts into the performance, made the night even more extraordinary.
Liam’s stage presence was undeniable. He took control of the stage with ease, and his vocals were full of emotion and intensity. The audience felt every word he sang, and it was clear that he was just as invested in the song as we were. Meanwhile, Alesso’s dynamic presence on the decks added another layer of excitement to the performance. His ability to weave intricate electronic sounds into the live performance created a mesmerizing experience for everyone in the room.
Together, the trio created a perfect storm of energy, blending Liam’s heartfelt vocals with Alesso’s driving beats and our collective vision for “Midnight.” There’s something magical that happens when three creative forces unite with one shared goal—to bring the song to life in the most authentic way possible.
