Simon Cowell put five singing aspirants together on “The X Factor U.K.” on July 23, 2010. Those were the members of One Direction. They went on to reach unfathomable success internationally, selling out stadiums and recording Top 10 songs including “Story of My Life,” “Best Song Ever,” and “Drag Me Down,” despite finishing third in the TV competition. It wasn’t all roses, though. Zayn Malik abruptly departed the band in 2015, and the remaining members Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson announced their break later that year.
One Direction had a six-year run that ended in 2016 when Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne went solo, and Zayn Malik had previously left the group. We reminisce about their best songs while blasting singles like “Bye Bye Bye,” “What Makes You Beautiful,” and “I Want It That Way.”
The One Directioners aren’t going to give up on them. They have pledged to reconcile, and you should have faith in them. You may still support them as solo artists and be a fan when they all get together for some form of gathering if they decide they can’t for whatever reason. Even when they’re all independent artists, true Directioners continue to refer to themselves as Directioners.
We know how fervent fans are still crossing their fingers for a reunion as the lads have successful solo careers. Here are some of One Direction’s most memorable songs.

What Makes You Beautiful
White Lies
