One Direction

Released: December 17, 2010

[Verse 1: Liam & Harry]
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad man

[Chorus: All]
Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really wanna live forever
Forever, forever young?

[Verse 2: Niall & Harry]
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
But sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

[Chorus: All]
Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really wanna live forever
Forever or never?
Forever young
I wanna be forever young, forever
Do you really wanna live forever
Forever or never?

[Bridge: Liam]
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

[Chorus: Harry & All]
Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever, or never?
Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really wanna live forever
Forever or never?
Forever young
I wanna be forever young, forever
Do you really wanna live forever
Forever or never?
Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really wanna live forever
Forever, forever young?

One Direction was an English-Irish pop band based in London, consisting of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously Zayn Malik. They signed with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Check out their journey on the competition here.

Propelled to international success by the power of social media, their two albums Up All Night and Take Me Home, released in 2011 and 2012 respectively, broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, including “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”

Their third album, Midnight Memories, introduced a maturing sound. Singles including “Best Song Ever” and “Story of My Life” became smash hits. The music video for “Best Song Ever” even broke the one-day Vevo record, racking up 10.9 million views in 24 hours.
