[Verse 1: Louis]
The end of the night, we should say goodbye
But we carry on while everyone’s gone

[Pre-Chorus: Zayn]
Never felt like this before
Are we friends or are we more?
As I’m walking towards the door
I’m not sure

[Chorus: Liam & Liam and Harry]
But baby if you say you want me to stay, I’ll change my mind
'Cause I don’t wanna know I’m walking away, if you’ll be mine
Won’t go, won’t go, so baby if you say you want me to stay
Stay for the night, I’ll change my mind

[Verse 2: Liam]
Lean in when you laugh, we take photographs
There’s no music on but we dance along

[Pre-Chorus: Harry]
Never felt like this before
Are we friends or are we more?
As I’m walking towards the door
I’m not sure

[Chorus: All & Zayn]
But baby if you say you want me to stay, I’ll change my mind
'Cause I don’t wanna know I’m walking away, if you’ll be mine
Won’t go, won’t go, so baby if you say you want me to stay
Stay for the night, I’ll change my mind, I’ll change my mind

[Bridge: Niall]
Baby if you say you want me to stay
I’ll change my mind

[Chorus: All & Zayn]
But baby if you say you want me to stay, I’ll change my mind
'Cause I don’t wanna know I’m walking away, if you’ll be mine
Won’t go, won’t go, so baby if you say you want me to stay
Stay for the night, I’ll change my mind, I’ll change my mind

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.
