I think that a lot of the time they are overlooked as just an embarrassing boyband, and whenever I am met with this response, I tell people to listen to Midnight Memories. One Direction were, in my opinion and I am sure that others will agree, the biggest boyband of the last decade. From seeing them on tour, to staying up on Twitter to obsess with other fans about their next album. One Direction were the soundtrack to my early teenage years, and through them as a band I made so many friends and memories. The boys released their cheeky "Best Song Ever" in 2013, but we'd argue this is actually it.July 2021 marked 11 years of One Direction, which naturally, brought me a lot of nostalgia. But 1D's breakthrough hit is 3 minutes and 19 seconds of unadulterated joy, with its insanely catchy hook and endearingly earnest lyrics.
1. "What Makes You Beautiful" (from "Up All Night," 2012)Ĭall us boring or basic for ranking this puppy-love anthem No. Perhaps the most gorgeous song 1D ever released, this is a tender, almost wistful ballad that showcases all the guys' voices, particularly as they harmonize together on the haunting chorus.

(Speculation is "always fun to see, but it's up to everybody's individual interpretation," Styles told USA TODAY in 2015.) Regardless, this '80s-inspired throwback is tailor-made for jamming in the car with the windows down. Styles has always been intentionally vague about whether "Perfect" was a retort to ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift's "1989," which has four songs vaguely referencing him. "Perfect" (from "Made in the A.M.," 2015) "Stockholm Syndrome" (from "Four," 2014)Ĭo-written by Styles, who shows his penchant for absurdity on this playfully suggestive track about being trapped in a relationship – and loving it. "Made in the A.M." featured some of the band's most mature songwriting, evident on this reflective song about the highs and lows of fame.
"Long Way Down" (from "Made in the A.M.," 2015) "Change Your Ticket" (from "Four," 2014)Īnother bonus track that should've been a single, in which Payne oozes charisma as he takes lead on vocals. There are two things in this world we'll never understand: Someone being scared to fall in love with 1D, and why this punchy pop anthem was only a bonus track on the "Take Me Home" deluxe edition. "She's Not Afraid" (from "Take Me Home," 2012) Whether you're a die-hard Directioner or first-time listener, it's impossible not to get nostalgic hearing this soulful ode to their brotherhood and time together, made all the more bittersweet by their decade anniversary. It was also the last music video featuring Malik before his departure, giving the lyrics sadly eerie resonance. "Night Changes" (from "Four," 2014)Ī smooth romantic ballad about growing up and growing old together. The closest 1D ever got to a dubstep song, making it a refreshing outlier in the band's pop-rock and folk-leaning catalog. "Little White Lies" (from "Midnight Memories, 2013) More: One Direction fans lose their minds, beg for reunion after band's first tweet in two years 10. One Direction: 'It's not goodbye, just see you later' In the meantime, here are 10 of their best songs to celebrate the milestone. With 1D's 10th anniversary this month, their loyal fans (also known as Directioners) are still crossing their fingers for a reunion as the guys enjoy successful solo careers. "It's not goodbye, it's just, 'See you later," Payne told USA TODAY in 2015, ahead of the release of the band's fifth and last album "Made in the A.M." "It's like what Tigger used to say: 'Ta-ta for now.' "

Although they came in third on the TV competition, they went on to achieve unimaginable success worldwide, selling out stadiums and scoring Top 10 hits including "Story of My Life," "Best Song Ever" and "Drag Me Down."
