Since his departure, Zayn’s had a US and UK No 1 album and single, plus two other UK Top 5 hits. Liam’s Strip That Down was Top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic, Louis had some success at home but made little dent in the US, while Harry’s Sign of the Times topped the charts in the UK and his self-titled album did the double (ie it was a US and UK chart-topper, do keep up). But it’s sweet Niall and his “styled by Gap” acoustic ditties that could be the real long-term success story; he’s had two UK Top 10s, topped the US Adult Top 40 chart in America with the actually very good Slow Hands and only missed out on a UK No 1 album to fellow ex-boybander George Michael. As the saying goes, it’s always the quiet ones lumbered with braces early on who come good in the end.

Base on some songs I’ve heard on the album, its not so One Direction genre. I felt like listening to some 90’s and 80’s band. This is our new generation, fucking people who doubted our boys, bow down bec MITAM will slay everyone. This deserves a Grammy Award.

| And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce... |
I went walking in the forest today, but unfortunately there wasn’t much of autumn to be seen. I got to take this nice shot, though.
I love autumn, it’s definitely my favourite time of the year: the colours, the coziness, hot chocolates with marshmallows... and it’s cold again, which means that I can wear my beloved jumpers (seriously, I could wear them for the whole year- if it wasn’t so damn hot in the summer). I honestly think I should move to a northern country in the future.

If you like doing whatever you’ve been dreaming about
Then baby you’re perfect, baby you’re perfect
Louis:
I might never be your knight in shining amour
I might never be the one you take home to mother
And I might never be the one who brings you flowers
But I can be the one, be the one tonight
Liam:
When I first saw you
From across the room
I could tell that you were curious, oh yeah
Girl I hope you’re sure
What you’re looking for
Cause I’m not good at making promises
Harry:
But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things
You know that we shouldn’t do
Then baby I’m perfect, baby I’m perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce
If you like doing whatever you’ve been dreaming about
Baby you’re perfect, baby you’re perfect
So lets start right now
Niall:
I might never be the hand you put your heart in
Or the arms that hold you any time you want them
That don’t mean that we cant live here in the moment
Cause I can be the one you love from time to time
Liam:
When I first saw you
From across the room
I could tell that you were curious, oh yeah
Girl I hope you’re sure
What you’re looking for
Cause I’m not good at making promises
Harry:
But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things
You know that we shouldn’t do
Then baby I’m perfect, baby I’m perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce
If you like doing whatever you’ve been dreaming about
Then baby you’re perfect, baby you’re perfect
So lets start right now
And if you like cameras flashing ever time we go out
Oh yeah
And if you’re looking for someone to write your break up songs about
Baby I’m perfect
Baby we’re perfect
But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
If you like having secret little rendezvous
If you like to do the things
You know that we shouldn’t do
Then baby I’m perfect, baby I’m perfect for you
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce
If you like doing whatever you’ve been dreaming about
Then baby you’re perfect, baby you’re perfect
So lets start right now
