This song must ring true to band member Louis Tomlinson because he wrote the lyrics. This tune will more than likely emerge as a highlight in their stadium tour to come with the typical clap, clap, stomp beat throughout. Seeing as this band has been to a lot of places in their short career, it’s obvious why they’d take part in writing a song about staying true to themselves and their past life before stardom. Verdict: 5/10 – This song is the “Little Things” of this album. Also includes some undulating cymbals in the background and various stringed instruments to set the mood. “Nothing can come between you and I,” they sing, and any fan can believe it. Guitar-led with more emotional ballad lyrics, “You & I” depicts a love story. Verdict: 8/10 – One of those songs that could easily be on repeat until you get tired of it.
Nevertheless, this song’s really catchy, and with the added Harry letting out his inner rock star by shrieking into the mic towards the end, it’s hard not to love it. This song presents itself as the most risky for the clean cut band, pushing at the boundaries of “PG” with the lyrics “Same ol’ shh but a different day” and Louis singing the rebellious line, “tell me that I’m wrong but I do what I please.” The song shows the band’s producer’s originality once again with a chorus that sounds very much like “Pour Some Sugar On Me” by Def Leppard. Verdict: 5/10 – Confession: I am the iffy fan. The beats and guitar in this selection could be iffy in the opinions of some fans, though the band makes up for the new ‘80s rock sound with the lyrics “Diana, let me be the one to light a fire in those eyes,” in which the name “Diana” could cleverly substitute for any girl’s name. The shift from bubblegum pop to pop-rock sounds more in this song than the first two tracks. Verdict: 8/10 – Sweet and simple with lilting melodies that are pleasing to the ear.

The sweeping harmonies are chilling, and you could easily find this song as a soundtrack to a Nicholas Sparks movie adaptation.

The soft guitar strumming is Mumford and Son-esque, and the lyrics are heavy and full of emotion. Verdict: 8/10 – Reminiscent of their past hit singles, no one could deny this song’s potential.Įach member of One Direction took part in the lyrical and writing side of this song. It’s retro and fun, spilling into a strong rock ‘n roll guitar and an overwhelming Harry Styles growling the words “maybe it’s the way she walked.” Progressing through the song, it proves obvious why the band’s label have released this tune as the first single from “Midnight Memories” the rolling harmonies and catchy “oh oh oh” and “yeah yeah yeah” parts display a sure pop hit. This song starts off sounding suspiciously like The Who’s “Baba O’Riley” opening chords. Join me in a track-by-track review of “Midnight Memories”:
They’ve given themselves the potential to appeal to older audiences and create a broader fanbase, which allows fans of the band to grow up with them. The album displays a fresh look for One Direction, like the producers and songwriters wanted to state that the band is all grown up (in a PG-rated sense, of course). One Direction’s third album “Midnight Memories” debuts the band’s growing maturity in song lyrics along with a different angle of electric rock tunes and fast-strumming guitar melodies.
