Speaking about ‘Four’ last month, One Directon revealed it has taken a “more edgy” direction to its three predecessors.

Niall told The Today Show: "I think it's going to be a little bit more edgy. We feel like we've got some really good songs."

Liam added: "We've all taken a hand in the writing this time. We've literally written almost every song."

One Direction recorded the album in-between their huge sell out shows on their blockbuster Where We Are Tour.

Big name musical collaborations include their good mate Ed Sheeran, Naughty Boy, McBusted, The 1975 and punk band Good Charlotte.
