For One Direction fans around the world, Friday, November 13^th, was a good day. One Direction’s 5^th album (but the first one without former band mate, Zayn Malik), Made in the A.M., was released.

To kick off the album release, the band surprised their “Directioners” with dropping their first single “Drag Me Down,” on July 31^st.  Fans were shocked by this release, and the song became a hit, as it was soon on the radio everywhere.

Towards the middle of October, One Direction dropped their second single from the album called “Perfect.” Fans were once again amazed by the vocals of the boy band. Just days later, they also released the music video for this song, hitting millions of views within the first couple of days.

From just two songs being released, people knew that this was going to be an awesome album. Zayn’s high vocals are still definitely missed, but the band seems to be doing more than okay without him.

From November 9^th to November 12^th, the singles “History,” “End of the Day,” Love You Goodbye,” and “What a Feeling” were all released to lead up to the drop of Made In the A.M. later that week. The song “What a Feeling” shows how well Harry, Liam, Niall and Louis’ voices harmonize, while “History” has a very upbeat tune to show that the band could sing anything.

The rest of the album includes some slow songs that could make you cry, like “Walking in the Wind,” “I Want to Write You a Song,” and “If I Could Fly,” and songs that could boost your mood like “A.M.,” “Wolves,” “Temporary Fix,” “Olivia,” “Never Enough,” and “Hey Angel.”

Boyband member Liam Payne shared with his fans that he wrote the song “I Want to Write You a Love Song” for someone he has yet to meet. He wanted to write a love song for someone, but hasn’t had the special someone to write a song for. Also, he recorded the song at four o’clock in the morning, which made his voice course, but no one is complaining.

Senior, Ashley Reha had something to add about Made in the A.M. “This album shows how much they’ve matured and I am so proud. This album is so amazing!!!”

Even though this is rumored to be One Direction’s last album ever, Directioners are still very happy about this release and will support the band no matter what happens.

Oh, by the way, Justin Bieber released an album too, but that’s a whole other story, literally. https://fthspatpress.com/4498/entertainment/biebers-purpose-ful-comeback-is-here/
