Incredibly forgettable.

 

Hopefully they mature their sound within the next album, each song is starting to sound the exact same.

Nothing too special. What is going on with those faux-rock shrieks in the verses!?

 

The chorus is insanely catchy though (which i've come to expect from them now) and it could all grow some more but yeah it's basically yet another rehash of what they've done before.

I actually really like the first five seconds, but then it descends into horrible Busted-lite shouting. Generally, their lead singles aren't that bad, What Makes You Beautiful remains legendary and Live While We're Young was decent if uninspiring, but this is just really bad, its not even that catchy...

It sounds like a bad football anthem pinched from one of The Wanted's songwriting sessions.

 

As Chez Wombat said the start of the song is promising, but it descends into nothingness afterwards. There's a weird disconnect between the verses and the chorus, and all the try-hard shrieking in the verses just made me never want to listen to it again. You can see what they're trying to achieve, but this is what happens when people write songs for/with a heterogenous group of guys who feel they should be progressing sonically. No doubt the best songs are on the cutting room floor, and the record company chose this one thinking it sounded progressive as well as "fun" and "catchy"

 

They fare best with ballads like Moments - they ought to stick with that, instead of trying to recreate What Makes You Beautiful and failing every time.

 

Marks out of 10: 3 :mellow:

Capital acting as if it actually is the "best song ever". :rolleyes:

God, I hate how the media is practically fan-girling over them :rolleyes:

 

Funny thing is, they used to openly mock older boybands that were 100 better than One Direction!

I like it. :blush:

 

Ah I'm not alone in that then. :lol: I guess it goes without saying for me though lol.

I like it too. I've liked most of their singles if I'm honest (well apart from Gotta Be You and One Thing) :blush: :ph34r:
I agree the song is catchy, but I think lyrically-wise - this is the weakest song they released. The chorus is lame as well as the bridge. It all sounds very cringe-worthy and very juvenile.

The chorus is so weak!... in fact it may well be worse than Walk Like Rhianna

 

Basically an even worse version of WMYB - they've released the same song about 3/4 times now and each time getting even worse

I agree but that was before Cowell had such power within the media.

Absolutely terrible. I actually like What Makes You Beautiul, Kiss You, One Thing and to a lesser extent Live While We're Young but wow :/ This is down there with Gotta Be You and Little Things in the abysmal stakes.

I thought singing about Ed Sheeran's ex-girlfriend was a comical low for them. Then, they sang this.

 

If they reamed it the Worst Song Ever, that would be closer to what they've (I say 'they, maybe their team) produced.

 

-10/10

That guitar riff from The Who song is present throughout the entire song and of course the songwriters say this is just a coincidence and not deliberately planned riiiiight :rolleyes:

 

Their team are truly lacking originality. First Travolta and The Clash, now The Who...
