Singer Liam Payne today confirmed the name of One Direction’s next single.

The 22-year-old took to Twitter reveal that the track will be titled, Perfect.

He wrote: “Looks like the cat's out of the bag!!! Our next single is Perfect. Can't wait for you all to hear it!”

Payne’s band mate Harry Styles also confirmed the news tweeting: “Our next single is called 'Perfect'. Looking forward to you hearing it, hope that you like those apples.”

The boys’ announcement comes hours after the official Twitter account for Apple Music accidentally leaked the track title.

A tweet that has since been deleted read: “New @OneDirection. The next track off #MadeInTheAM is #Perfect.”

One Direction: Look how they've changed

Perfect will appear on their fifth album, Made In The AM, which is set for release on November 13.

The song will be a follow up to their single Drag Me Down which became the fastest selling single ever on iTunes and knocked Little Mix off of the top spot.

Here’s how fans reacted to the news:
