[Verse 1: Liam]
My mother told me I should go and get some therapy
I asked the doctor can you find out what is wrong with me
I don't know why I wanna be with every girl I meet
I can't control it, yeah, I know it's taking over me

[Pre-Chorus: Liam & Zayn]
I'm going crazy, can't contain it
So tell me just what I should do

[Chorus: All]
She said, hey, it's alright, does it make you feel alive?
Don't look back, live your life, even if it's only for tonight
She said, hey, it's alright, if it makes you feel alive

[Verse 2: Niall]
Went to a party, just after the doctor talked to me
I met a girl, I took her hand up to the balcony
I whispered something in her ear that I just can't repeat
She said "Okay", but she was worried what her friends will think

[Pre-Chorus: Liam & Zayn]
She's going crazy, can't contain it
She asked me what should I do?

[Chorus: All]
I said, hey, it's alright, does it make you feel alive?
Don't look back, live your life, even if it's only for tonight
I said, hey, it's alright, if it makes you feel alive

[Bridge: Louis & Liam]
We got to live before we get older
Do what we like, we got nothing to lose
Shake off the weight of the world from your shoulders
Oh, we got nothing to prove
I said, hey, it's alright
Does it make you feel alive?
Don't look back, live your life
Even if it's only for tonight

[Chorus: All]
I said, hey, it's alright, does it make you feel alive?
Don't look back, live your life, even if it's only for tonight
I said, hey, it's alright, if it makes you feel alive

One Direction

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.
