AceShowbiz - Yesterday, Liam Payne and Rita Ora sparked rumors that they would be collaborating on a song for the upcoming final installment of "Fifty Shades" trilogy. And now, the duo have confirmed the rumors by teasing a collaborative track entitled "For You".
Taking to their social media accounts on December 21, both British stars uploaded a video teaser for the track. The fourteen-second clip features dramatic opening chords being played over an image of Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) getting intimate. Mentioning each other, the duo captioned the clip, "Something special #ForYou coming in January.."
The teaser clip came a day after the duo posted on Instagram a picture of themselves, hinting at the collaboration. In the snap, Liam channeled Christian Grey by donning a dapper suit, while Rita posed next to the hunk, teaming up her semi-sheer pink dress with black heels. They captioned the picture with the title of the movie, "Fifty Shades Freed".
Liam wouldn't be the first One Direction member to contribute to the soundtrack for the franchise, though. Former member Zayn Malik previously collaborated with Taylor Swift for the song "I Don't Wanna Live Forever", which served as the soundtrack for "Fifty Shades Darker". The song was a success as it won Best Collaboration Award at the 2017 Millennial Awards. Additionally, it is nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 2018 Grammy Awards.
"Fifty Shades Freed" is set to hit theaters across the U.S. on February 9, 2018. Based on the best-selling erotic novel of the same name by E.L. James, the third installment will follow the lives of business mogul Christian Grey and book publishing editor Anastasia Steele after their wedding. Rita, who appeared in the two previous franchises, will reprise her role as Mia Grey, Christian's friendly sister.
