However, Payne isn't the first One Direction star to work on a song for the hit film franchise: In early 2017, Zayn Malik and Taylor Swift teamed up for a song called "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" off the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack.

Co-written and co-produced by Jack Antonoff, the song is nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 2018 Grammy Awards.

Meanwhile, Ora also has a special connection to the Fifty Shades franchise: In all three films, she stars as Mia, Christian Grey's friendly sister.

Based on the best-selling erotic romance-drama novel series by E.L. James, Fifty Shades Freed will follow the lives of business mogul Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) and book publishing editor Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) following their wedding.
