Here's the hopeful hook: "You and me got a whole lot of history / We could be the greatest thing that the world has ever seen / You and me got a whole lot of history / So don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever." In the song's first verse, Harry Styles sings: "You've gotta help me, I'm losing my mind / Keep getting the feeling you wanna leave this all behind / Thought we were going strong / I thought we were holding on / Are we?" Horan takes over on the pre-chorus: "No, they don't teach you this in school / Now my heart's breaking and I don't know what to do / Thought we were going strong / Thought we were holding on / Are we?" It's just the history of everything, everything about the last five years, and we can make some more, and "let's not stop now" kind of thing.

At first glance, the One Direction "History" lyrics appear to be about a relationship that's hit an unexpected speed bump however, in a video posted to the band's official YouTube page on Thursday, Niall Horan explains that they're really about 1D's relationship with their fans and crew: kind of talks about the history between ourselves and the fans, all of the time we've spent on the road, the crew, the people that have been with us from day one. and it's going to make you emotional about their impending hiatus all over again. Here come the waterworks: On Friday, One Direction premiered "History" - a new song lifted from their upcoming fifth album, Made In the A.M.
