The singers hit the blue carpet at the event held at USC’s Galen Center on Sunday (August 13) in Los Angeles.
They later slayed on stage when they performed their hit collaboration “Back to You.” It marked Louis‘ first solo awards show performance, and the duo did not disappoint.
Bebe wore a skin-tight red tracksuit, while Louis rocked a white t-shirt and blue pants.
Louis also took home the surfboard for Choice Music Collaboration for his song “Just Hold On” with Steve Aoki.
“Got 1% battery but that was sooooo sick,” Louis tweeted after the performance. “Gonna put a video message up soon saying thanks , just gonna charge my phone ! Love you all.”

“With this song we wanted to write something a little less soppy,” the 25-year-old former One Direction singer said in a statement. “It’s about that one person that no matter how hard you try, you keep coming back to. All your support has been amazing.”
“Back To You” was released at midnight globally and has already hit No.1 on iTunes in 35 countries around the world today. It follows the smash hit single “Just Hold On,” which Louis released with Steve Aoki in December last year.

The 25-year-old singer just released his new single “Back to You,” which is his first official single as a lead solo artist. He previously sung solo on the song “Just Hold On,” but that was Steve Aoki‘s song.
Louis opened up to BBC about why the song starts with Bebe singing.
“We recorded a version where I sang first – but you’ve got to do what’s best by the song,” he said. “With the emotion she gives it, and the way she opens up the song, it always had to be her, really.”
