One Direction new single "Live While We're Young"

One Direction are back! The biggest group in the world will release their hugely anticipated brand new single "Live While We’re Young" on 30th September 2012.

"Live While We’re Young" sees the global superstars once again teaming up with songwriters Savan Kotecha, Rami Yacoub & Carl Falk and the result is unmistakeably One Direction. "Live While We’re Young" is pop perfection – an immediate, energy packed song mixing rock undertones with smooth harmonies, about living for the moment.

The eagerly awaited second album is due for release in November 2012 and sees One Direction collaborating with a whole host of first class writers and producers. As well as reuniting with the likes of Rami Yacoub & Carl Falk and Savan Kotecha ("One Thing" and "What Makes You Beautiful"), Ed Sheeran and McFly’s Tom Fletcher, the album features input from Dr Luke (Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream", Taio Cruz's "Dynamite"), Shellback (Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger") and Toby Gad (Beyonce's "If I Were A Boy"). The album is sure to be another huge smash release from a truly international pop phenomenon.

"Live While We're Young" will be available to pre-order on your local iTunes at midnight tonight" says Zayn Malik.
