The upcoming posthumous release from Liam Payne is expected to happen later this week.

Liam, 31, tragically passed away in Argentina on October 16 after a horrific fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. As an investigation into the events leading up to his heartbreaking death unfolds, the singer's body remains in Argentina.

The Argentine prosecutor's office has recently determined that the father-of-one died due to multiple traumas, accompanied by internal and external bleeding.

Following the devastating news of his death earlier this month, fans flocked to stream Liam's solo tracks and One Direction classics, collectively grieving the loss of the former boyband star.

Now, nearly two weeks since the world said goodbye to Liam, new music from him appears to be on the horizon for his fans, according to reports in the Mirror.

Grammy-award-winning artist Sam Pounds, who was collaborating with Liam in the studio before his passing, disclosed that a song they had worked on titled "Do No Wrong" is slated for release this Friday.

Breaking the news across social platforms, Sam wrote: "I pray that this will be a blessing to the world like Liam has always dreamed. I pray angels will comfort you all everyday while listening.

"I pray that this song will be a blessing to Ruth, Bear, and the entire family. I pray that this song eclipses the negative echoes. I pray supernatural positive healing power will embrace each and every one of you... With love let's all BE the blessing."

Sam also unveiled the cover art for the song, indicating a release date of November 1. The single will be available in three versions: the original, a live mix and an a cappella rendition.

Sam honoured Liam following his passing and recently shared a video of them both in the studio working on the forthcoming single. According to Sam, Liam had expressed a desire for singer Chris Brown to feature on the track.

Following the tragic death of Liam, all five of One Direction's studio albums made a comeback into the UK top 40 last week. The band's 2013 album, Midnight Memories, which includes hits like Best Song Ever and Story Of My Life, re-entered the UK albums chart at number 13 on Friday.

In 2008, a young Liam Payne took to The X Factor stage at the tender age of 14, charming the audience with Frank Sinatra's timeless 'Fly Me To The Moon'. Simon Cowell, impressed yet prescient, advised him to return in two years.

Heeding this advice, Payne reappeared in 2010, wowing the judges with his take on Michael Buble's 'Cry Me A River', which led to his pairing with four other solo contestants at boot camp, marking the birth of One Direction.

The entertainment world is mourning the loss of Liam Payne following the announcement of his passing, with an overwhelming number of tributes pouring in. His former One Direction bandmates, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson, have expressed their profound sorrow, releasing a statement that they are "completely devastated" and will deeply miss him, adding that the "memories we shared with him will be treasured forever".
