Liam Payne

One Direction's Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson register a song together

The One Direction duo are registered as composers and authors on a new track called Something That Scares Me About Love.

It's not clear who the song has been written for.

But with the news coming 11 months after One Direction started their hiatus, the rumour mill and fan theories are obviously well underway.

The most likely suggestion is that it will appear on Liam's upcoming solo album.

One Direction to split up in March

Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan have decided to focus on solo ventures and will not tour their fifth album, according to The Sun.

One Direction's publicists declined to comment on the reports, which first emerged on Sunday night (August 23).

The group decided to disband for at least a year following a meeting in London last weekend.
