Liam Payne explores the power dynamics of a couple on the verge of breaking up in the video for new ballad, “Bedroom Floor.” The One Direction singer narrates the loss of romance in his satiny croon and hovering ghostlike in the tense scenes.
The clip opens in a bedroom where a woman looks down regretfully at clothes scattered across the floor. She angrily confronts her partner about his infidelity. And later, after catching him flirting with another woman, she dumps his clothes into their pool.
The tropical-tinged “Bedroom Floor” is Payne’s third single as a solo artist, following club banger “Strip That Down” and sultry Zedd collaboration “Get Low.”
Payne has yet to announce a title or release date for his forthcoming debut solo LP, which follows One Direction’s 2015 hiatus. In a statement about “Strip That Down,” the singer teased that he’d been “working hard in the studio for over a year” on new music.
Lyrics
Baby
Heard you’ve been talking about me lately
Telling all your friends how much you hate me
But who you calling up when you get lonely?
When you get lonely
YeahYou be saying real real nice real nice things
When I’m touching you
You be getting real real real real real jealous
When it wasn’t you oh
And every now when my iPhone iPhone rings
I be telling you
I told you, I told you, I told youYou said it was over
You said it was over
But your clothes say different on my bedroom floor
You said it was over
You said it was over
But your clothes say different on my bedroom floor
But your clothes say different on my bedroom floor
But your clothes say different on my bedroom floor, yeahBaby
Why you always act like you don’t want me?
Don’t make me bring up your dirty laundry
We always on and off until you’re on me
Until you’re on me
YeahYou be saying real real nice real nice things
When I’m touching you
You be getting real real real real real jealous
