In another life, Jason Derulo would have taken this song and made it the club beat it deserved to be. It's undoubtedly the best part of the track - and perhaps one of the best parts of all of Midnight Memories. The title might be too generous, but this mostly inoffensive song's biggest fault is burying Louis's powerhouse (and heartbreaking) solo at the very end. But has it held up over the years? Surely not. Sure, 1D's second-ever single was a rockin' power ballad in its time, and it foreshadowed Liam's destiny as the group's go-to falsetto guy. The only non-original song on this list, this mashup - recorded as a charity single - is a passable (albeit catchy) rehash of ~iconic~ '70s punk band Blondie's covered-to-death "One Way or Another" and Irish rock band The Undertones' "Teenage Kicks." Otherwise, nothing special. "One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)," recorded for Red Nose Day 2013 But four years later, closer inspection forces us to ask: What do they mean by "stand up"? There's a "stand off" and there's a "stick up," but we're not quite sure what a "stand up" is…Īs you'd expect from the title, this is baby Direction at their neediest and brattiest. "Stand Up," Up All Night ( bonus track)Īh, the jam - circa 2011, of course. And why, pray tell, are they walking around with one shoe?Ĩ4. Starting off sounding almost exactly like their (only slightly more superior) "More Than This," this might be the sappiest of all their ballads. "Half a Heart," Midnight Memories ( bonus track)
So it's for the best that they kept this track off the standard release, since it's the only one that sounds like a boy band playing pretend.Ĩ6. Midnight Memories proved that 1D could do rock, and do it well. "Alive," Midnight Memories ( bonus track) "We're like na na na / then we're like yeah yeah yeah." Enough said.Ĩ7. Unfortunately, you'd be better off listening to Chris Martin and co. Surely you know that Harry is a renowned fan of Coldplay, the obvious sonic inspiration for this ballad. "Another World," Up All Night (bonus track)īet you didn't even know this song existed, did you?Ĩ9.
