He added on the social media platform: "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.

Elsewhere, a third concurred: Ameen. Thank you so much, Sam Pounds. We are eternally grateful for this, and I pray peace and blessings on you and yours."
And a fourth weighed in: "This is going to be so special Sam. Thankyou so so much for doing this and giving Liam a chance to still be heard.
"It breaks my heart that he didn't get the chance to show us more of his talent. He deserved every piece of love." (sic)
News of the posthumous record comes days after an Argentinian journalist claimed there was "CCTV footage" of Payne's fatal fall from a third-floor hotel balcony.
Authorities are reportedly keeping the CCTV footage secret as investigations continue into the tragic incident. Prosecutors believe Payne was in a state of "semi or total unconsciousness" during a substance-induced "psychotic episode" when he fell.

A toxicology report revealed traces of cocaine in Payne's body. However, tests on white powder found in his hotel suite have so far proved "inconclusive".
The report also suggests Payne "did not adopt a reflexive posture to protect himself" during the fall, indicating he may have been in a state of semi or total unconsciousness.
The singer died of multiple trauma injuries causing "internal and external haemorrhaging". His body reportedly sustained 25 "life-threatening" injuries, including a skull fracture.
Payne had previously been open about his struggles with alcohol and addiction, following his meteoric rise to stardom as a teenager following a stint on ITV talent show, X Factor.
