About the band

In 2010, One Direction debuted as a group on The X Factor. All of the boys auditioned as solo acts before Simon Cowell saw something special in them as a group. Despite failing to win The X Factor, the band developed a cult following among fans during their time on the show.

As a five-person band, the band released four albums: Up All Night, Take Me Home, Midnight Memories, and Four. Following Four, Malik left, and the band created Made in the A.M. as a four-member. However, following the release of their fifth album, One Direction announced an "18-month" hiatus that has now lasted six years. Styles, Tomlinson, Payne, and Horan have all pursued solo projects since the band's hiatus.
