"For You" reached the top ten in the United Kingdom, France, Norway, Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, Poland and Belgium, and peaked at number one in Germany.
On 20 December 2017, both artists posted a promotional shot on social media of themselves standing together, dressed up to the nines, along with the hashtag "#FiftyShadesFreed". The picture started speculation on a possible collaboration between the two for the upcoming film Fifty Shades Freed, in which Ora appears. A day after, the pair released the first teaser of the song on social media. On 3 January 2018, they revealed the song's release date and released the second teaser, a video showing the studio session in which they recorded the song.
The official music video of the song was released on 26 January 2018 on the "Fifty Shades VEVO" account. It was directed by Hannah Lux Davis. The filming took place at Oheka Castle on Long Island, off the coast of the eastern United States. It features Ora in a red dress walking and running in the garden and Payne in the castle, with them meeting on the grand staircase at the end. Special effects throughout also show the pair levitating. Comparisons were drawn to the video of "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift, as both videos were filmed in the same location.
For You
Liam Payne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside you're beautiful
Something so unusual
In your eyes
I know I'm home (yeah)
Every tear, every fear
Gone with the thought of you
Changing what I thought I knew
I'm free as a bird
When I'm flying in your cage
I'm diving in deep
And I'm riding with no brakes
And I'm bleeding in love
You're swimming in my veins
You got me now
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na ayy
For love, 'til I found you (oh)
Skin to skin
Breathe me in
Feeling your kiss on me
Lips are made of ecstasy
I'll be yours for a thousand lives (for a thousand lives)
I'm free as a bird
When I'm flying in your cage (so lost)
I'm diving in deep
And I'm riding with no brakes (no no)
And I'm bleeding in love
You're swimming in my veins
You've got me now (now)
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na ayy
For love, 'til I found you (oh)
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na ayy
For love, 'til I found you (oh)
I'm free as a bird
When I'm flying in your cage
I'm diving in deep
And I'm riding with no brakes
I'm bleeding in love
You're swimming in my veins
You've got me now
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na ayy
For love, 'til I found you (oh)
Been waiting for a lifetime for you (oh yeah)
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na ayy
For love, 'til I found you (oh)
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na ayy
For love, 'til I found you (oh)

Wake up, O servants of God
How long will you run after the mortal life? Do you not see your fathers and forefathers and the people around you die?
What do you think !!!! You kill, commit adultery, harm, and betray, then there is no reckoning !! No, by God, we will ask about the small and the big. By God, we will ask about what we have spent our life in this world, death is the beginning, a paradise for the one who has done righteousness, and a fire for those who follow the desires. When you travel to a strange country, even if for a week, you study that place to learn everything about it. As for the permanent real life, no one searches for the truth after death?
They say nothing, hahaha, how is nothing? And who killed where is justice ?? Really !! You think that the criminal and the good are equal
Is Satan blinded by your insight to make with God another god, but God is one god, and if they are more than one, why does not all God go to what He created, and all of them sought a way to the throne
O servants of God, but your God is but one God, my Lord, your Lord, the Lord of your fathers, the Lord of Jesus and Muhammad, the Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and the Lord of the East and the West, and what is between them if you are reason
I say what all the messengers and prophets brought and they all came with one message monotheism (There is no god but God) I say what Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Lot, David, Solomon, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad and all the messengers brought
Zabur, Torah, Bible, Book of Wisdom, what do you think !!! My names are based on imagination. They are books that were revealed to the prophets, but where are they? Ask your monks, loved ones, and priests, where is the truth in it? They changed and corrupted and spoiled
Really, the Torah says worship another god. The Bible says Worship another god
O servants, because of the distortion, God revealed the Qur’an to His Messenger Muhammad and saved it from distortion, so that it remains an argument for you all
Who wants to know the whole truth, the reality of this world, the reality of existence and the reality of the Hereafter, and who wants to get out of the darkness of desires to real life to the light
Whoever wants to know the truth of the Torah and the Bible, let him read the Qur’an. It is impossible for anyone to read the Qur’an and say this is not from God, and I defy
Because it is the right of certainty
