ONE DIRECTION MIDNIGHT MEMORIES SONGWRITERS PROFESSIONAL

In both “Up All Night” (2011) and “Take Me Home” (2012), the majority of songs were written by professional songwriters. In the first album, only three of the 13 songs were co-written by the five members. In contrast, 13 of the 18 songs on “Midnight Memories” were co-written by at least one member. The lion’s share of the song writing was done by members Louis Tomlinson (21) and Liam Payne (20). The number of songs written by the members represents a turning point in the band’s maturity that is reflected continually throughout the album. The songs come across as more authentic as the band members personal feelings and experiences are reflected in the lyrics. The album has significant alternative and rock influences, due to members of One Republic, McFly and Snow Patrol all helping One Direction to write songs for the album. In addition, all five members have a similar number of solos throughout the tracks, making the distribution of solos more evenly spread than in prior albums.

“Midnight Memories” opens with the track “Best Song Ever,” the first single off the album released by the band to promote their movie “This is Us”. This song provides a nice segway between this album and the first two collections, and is the most lighthearted track by far. It’s presence on this record ensures the album will still attract veteran listeners, who are a sizable part of One Direction’s fan base. The second track, and the second single off the album, “Story of My Life” marks the beginning of the album’s shift towards a deeper, more mature sound. The stripped back sentimental guitar ballad takes the best of alternative rock sound and covers it in a sheen of sugary pop. Other highlights of the album include “Better than Words,” a track whose lyrics are entirely composed of song titles, including Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love” and Adele’s “Someone Like You.” “Little Black Dress,” is perhaps the most ‘sexually explicit’ song on the album, and is likely to shock younger listeners who have become accustomed to lyrics like “When you smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell/you don’t know you’re beautiful.” The lyrics on “Little Black Dress,” are significantly raunchier, with Harry Styles crooning “Little Black Dress who you doin it for/I wanna see the way you move for me baby.” Instrumentals play a much greater role in this album than in the past, and the predominant guitar influence on the album can be seen specifically in “Little Black Dress.” It manages to sound more rock based than their past ballads, while still sticking with the “pop roots,” that skyrocketed One Direction to fame in the first place. Songs written by Styles in particular, like “Something Great,” and “Happily,” have a more indie, rock sounding vibe, a reflection of Styles’s own personal music taste.
