One Direction Songs That Will Melt Your Heart

One Direction is to this generation as the Backstreet Boys were to tweens in the 1990’s, and so fans can expect a lot of love struck crooning, with One Direction song lyrics like, ''be your life, your voice, your reason to be.” Louis, Liam, Harry, Zayn and Niall have already recorded songs with the likes of artists such as Kelly Clarkson (Tell Me a Lie) and they seem as comfortable with upbeat club sounds as they do with old-school ballads, such as Forever Young.

The top four songs which have perhaps defined the careers of these 5 boys are; What Makes You Beautiful, One Thing, More Than This, and Up All Night. The first album that was released by this spunky new boy band Up All Night (2011) was labeled as “full of easy rock-inflected pop, blithe and sometimes clever” by none other than The New York Times. Their general sound has been called a combination of pop, dance, teen and power pop with some rock influence. Their guitar riffs have been described as having “powerhouse” qualities, and it seems that they are just as able to inflict lovesickness on their young fans as they are to amaze them with their sound.

While 1D have already proved their worth by obtaining rave reviews from renowned publications such as Rolling Stone, which labeled their vocals as “admirable”, many in the industry believe that the boys are still going to evolve and their music will grow right along with them. According to Idolator’s Mike Wass, upon hearing 1D’s rendition of Use Somebody by Kings of Leon, he stated their sound was “more than capable” of growing and evolving further down the line.
