Cheryl returns to X Factor next weekend … and perhaps next year, too.

Niall Horan’s debut solo album ‘Flicker’ drops on Friday, 10/20. Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson will release their debut solo albums in early 2018. Liam Payne’s new single ‘Bedroom Floor’ drops 10/20. Louis Tomlinson meanwhile released a special fan track ‘Just Like You’ earlier this week.

Just Like You is a “special fan track release” ahead of his next single later in the year.
Louis Tomlinson has released a new track today (Oct 12), called Just Like You.

“It’s about a relationship where you love someone more than they love you.

“It’s about hard times,” Matt explained. “No matter what they do or their lack of effort you still want to be with them… basically being a mug.”
