The boys start the video with an explanation of the charity, and how they raised the money for it!
“This year, we decided to make a single to raise money for Comic Relief,” Louis Tomlinson says at the start of the video.
Zayn Malik explains, “Comic Relief is a British charity that do amazing work helping people all over Africa and in the U.K. living with really tough lives.”
“So instead of spending a load of money on a music video,” Harry Styles says, “we decided to make it ourselves while we’re on your and give the money we saved to Comic Relief.
We love you love the music video! You can check it out here!
If you haven’t heard of the Australian pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer (or 5SOS for short) you’re not alone… but if you know and love them, you’re in good company!
The group has a massive international fan following, and soon will be known to even more fans across the world, as they’re supporting One Direction on their worldwide Take Me Home tour!
The band features 16-year-old Luke “Hemmo” Hemmings on lead vocals and guitar, 17-year-old guitarist Michael Clifford, 17-year-old bassist Calum Hood, and 18-year-old drummer Ashton Irwin.
The boys are all super cute, talented, AND they play their own instruments! Though they may not yet be well known to American audiences, they’re certainly a force to be reckoned with.
The song is an emotional, guitar-driven rock tune about love and longing- a topic we can all relate to! The video for the song reached 100,000 views within just a day!
Are you a long-time fan of the band, or a new convert? Tell us about it in the comments below!
Red Nose Day is exactly one month from today! It’s a biennial telethon held in March by U.K. charity Comic Relief, which raises money for disadvantaged people.
In an effort to raise money for the charity, One Direction’s Niall Horan isn’t talking for an entire day!
His sponsored day of silence is helping to raise a lot of money for the charity, and the other boys in the group are happy too!
The boys of One Direction compiled a very special Spotify playlist just for Valentine’s Day, but we think it’s a great romantic playlist all year round!

Check out the track listing and tell us which songs you think best exemplify the V-day spirit!
Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards nominees have just been announced but we’re already buzzing to see who will win in each category! Josh Duhamel will host the show on March 23.
Have any guesses as to who will nab the orange blimps? Here are our predictions for the music categories!
Favorite Music Group
Hands down, our prediction for the winner of this award goes to pop phenomenon One Direction! In the last couple of years, the boys have taken the world by storm, and their fan base is full of loving and dedicated Directioners. We think they have the upper hand against contenders Big Time Rush, Bon Jovi, and Maroon 5.
Favorite Male Singer
Justin Bieber really deserves this title, especially after the release of his latest album, “Believe Acoustic,” which has blown away Beliebers and non-Beliebers alike. He’s proven his maturity and talent in the past few years, which we think will help him win against nominees Bruno Mars, Blake Shelton, and Usher
Favorite Female Singer
With the flurry of hitsTaylor Swift has been putting out in the past year, it’s hard not to see her as the winner in the category. “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “Begin Again,” “I Knew You Were Trouble” and the upcoming single “22“ all coming off her latest album, she’s a pop powerhouse to be sure. That’s not to say that the other gals on the list, Adele, Katy Perry and P!nk, aren’t all massively talented in their own right. We just think Taylor has it this year!
Favorite Song
What a tough choice! The nominations went to Carly Rae Jepsen‘s “Call Me Maybe,” PSY‘s “Gangnam Style,” Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” and One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful,” and all of those songs were personal favorites this year! Still, the song that will probably have the most lasting power, and that I think will take home the blimp, is “What Makes You Beautiful!”
If you’ve been dying to hear another One Direction single, wait no further!
The band recorded a new single for Comic Relief’s biennial “Red Nose Day” telethon, which helps raise money to better the lives of disadvantaged people!
The track is cover of Blondie’s “One Way Or Another!” It seems that whatever obstacles get in their way, the boys will manage to touch our hearts!
One Direction hunk Harry Styles was in the news earlier this month as he celebrated his 19th birthday, but among his friends he’s celebrated for his generosity!
According to fellow musician and close friend, Ed Sheeran, Harry is a big advocate of random acts of kindness.
Ed told The Daily Mirror that during a recent trip to Los Angeles, CA, Harry Styles spent his day off buying thousands of dollars of pizza and feeding homeless L.A. residents!
It’s great to know that Harry is as valiant as he is cute!
We’d like to wish a happy 19th birthday to Harry Styles with a celebration of the band that helped his rise to stardom!

NME received much criticism from Directioners earlier this year when it nominated One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles as “Villain Of the Year.” Fans will be even more shocked to learn that Harry is hoping to win that title!
Other notable “villain” nominees include England’s Prime Minister David Cameron, ‘Gangnam Style‘ phenom Psy, and dubstep group Skrillex. The reasoning behind the nominations hasn’t been explained and is baffling music fans worldwide.
Harry doesn’t seem to be taking the nomination too seriously. “I hope I win,” he said in an interview with the Daily Mirror. “You’ve got to take the rough with the smooth but I don’t really feel like I’ve done anything that bad. Should be fun!”
