Lights go down and the night is calling to me, yeah
I hear voices singing songs in the street and I know

For so long, for so long, but I know
That I won't be on my own
Yeah, I love this feeling and

[Chorus: Zayn]
Right now, I wish you were here with me
'Cause right now, everything is new to me
You know I can't fight the feeling
And every night, I feel it
Right now, I wish you were here with me

[Verse 2: Liam & Harry]
Late night spaces with all our friends, you and me, yeah
Love these faces, just like how it used to be
And we won't be going home

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.
