Though many were pleasantly surprised by his mashup performance, it was far from Liu’s first time showing off his singing chops. In fact, the Marvel star’s musical prowess dates way back to high school, when he was part of a boy band called LX4.
Liu seems to be leaning into his musical side more these days, dropping his debut single, “Don’t,” on April 7. He explained the inspiration behind the piano-heavy ballad on Instagram, writing, “this song was written for all of the hard times in my life where i have questioned my worth and felt like an imposter. it is for every single person who ever has felt alone, different, heartbroken or hopeless. you are worthy. you belong. you MATTER.” He concluded the post by noting that there’s “more to come soon,” possibly alluding to an upcoming album.
From covering popular tracks on TikTok to singing for the “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” soundtrack, Liu has been treating us to his angelic vocals for years.
