Get Lowby Zedd (featuring Liam Payne)
Songfacts®:
- Zedd joined forces with Liam Payne for this cut. The song represented the One Direction singer's second release away from the group following this solo debut track "Strip That Down."
- Zedd told Beats 1: "I'm super excited about that song, it's the definition of a summer song to me personally. The easiest way to describe it would be a Drake-ish influence sound but very open to do something that sounds unique and different which I love."
"I think it's a really good balance between where he's going with his solo project and where I'm going with my own music," he continued. "It's right in between, without Liam I might've not have finished this song. He really pulled it towards the direction that I would not have and I love where It is. I would say it's probably the most urban-ish influence song I've ever done, It's insanely catchy and I feel like you're gonna hate it after a while because it's so catchy."
