The singer has teamed up with US star Bebe Rexha and British DJ Digital Farm Animals for Back To You, which was released Friday.

One user, @RomaissaTabtab, tweeted: “so proud of you @Louis_Tomlinson and @BebeRexha lot of love nice song.”

Another dubbed it a “masterpiece” while one fan tweeted Tomlinson informing him they had been listening to the track on repeat for more than five hours.
