Midnight MemoriesOne Direction

Released: November 25, 2013

Songwriter: Liam Payne Louis Tomlinson Jamie Scott John Ryan Julian Bunetta

Producer: John Ryan Julian Bunetta

The titular song off Midnight Memories crashes the relatively tame nature of 1D songs with booming choruses, loud guitar riffs, and rebellious lyrics, co-written by band members Louis and Liam. “Midnight Memories” is the third single off the album, five days before its release. The track peaked at No. 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Read more on Last.fm.

Length: 2:56

[Verse 1: Harry]
Straight off the plane to a new hotel
Just touched down, you could never tell
Big house party with a crowded kitchen
People talk shh but we don't listen

[Pre-Chorus: Louis]
Tell me that I'm wrong, but I do what I please
Way too many people in the Addison Lee
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh whoa

[Chorus: All]
Midnight memories, oh, oh, oh
Baby, you and me
Stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Midnight memories, oh, oh, oh
Anywhere we go
Never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it

[Verse 2: Liam & Niall]
5 foot something with the skinny jeans
Don't look back, baby, follow me
I don't know where I'm going but I'm finding my way
Same old shh but a different day

[Pre-Chorus: Louis]
Tell me that I'm wrong, but I do what I please
Way too many people in the Addison Lee
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh whoa

[Chorus: All]
Midnight memories, oh, oh, oh
Baby, you and me
Stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Midnight memories, oh, oh, oh
Anywhere we go
Never say no
Just do it, do it, do it

[Bridge: Niall & Harry]
You and me and all our friends
I don't care how much we spend
Baby, this is what the night is for
I know nothing's making sense
For tonight, let's just pretend
I don't wanna stop, so give me more

[Chorus: All, Zayn]
Midnight memories, oh, oh, oh
Baby, you and me
Stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Midnight memories, oh, oh, oh
Anywhere we go
Never say no
(Yeah)
Just do it, do it, do it, do it
