There is literally only one 1D song I've ever liked, and it wasn't even a single ("Stockholm Syndrome") but I actually kinda like this? Given how little I care about 1D I had very low expectation of enjoying this going in.

I really like this. His voice is something that would fit perfectly in my wet dreams.

I like this! I was expecting something more R&B or even Hip Hop oriented, but I like that this is a fusion of R&B, light EDM, and pseudo Dubstep. I think this will be a big multiformat smash! WTF... was that music video... lol.. don't hate it but, damn am I shocked with it. I wasn't expecting such a dark twisted first music video from him. He didn't smile even once in the video it seemed, so that's sad and tragic. :( I was surprised by how sexy it was, but I like it. All those special effects and prismatic stuff is cool looking. Reminds me of some of the scenes in the Scissor Sisters "Invisible Light" video from a few years ago.

It's okay. Better on second listen than first. Could be a grower, but not something I'm going crazy over.

I like this but I can't help but feeling disappointed that it isn't a full out sex jam like TlC's Red Light Special or even this:

That video is terrible. How did they make him look so bad?
I like the song overall. But the chorus confuses me. I can't decide if it's catchy or just jarring; specifically, the way he sings "pillowTALK" is somewhat off-putting. But I do think I like the song, so maybe it just needs to grow on me.

Which means there's now 6 version of the song. Explicit single, clean single, explicit album, clean album, explicit deluxe, clean deluxe. It has also been falling all day long. It has definitely peaked in its sales. This will definitely overtake it by morning. Not to say "Work" won't stay in the top five, just it's older, has 3x more versions than this, and has been met with more jarring feedback than this. Plus, One Direction fans > Rihanna fans when it comes to digitally whoring out their material.

Yeah this is easily moving past Rihanna (whose single was already declining) to get #1. Like with most hyped tracks, the test will come how it'll hold after the initial burst wears off (as we've seen multiple times with 1D), but on iTunes, it'll hit #1 with ease.

He looks bored as f**k through the whole thing.... My favorite part is when he starts singing and you can't even tell if his lips are moving as he just stares off into nothingness.

Maybe I need to listen on my headphones. I watched the video on my computer and was beyond unimpressed.

Idk. I don't hate it, but I don't like it either. It wasn't what I was expecting at all, but in a good way. In the chorus I was just waiting for more 1D vocals. I can't see it going to #1 as I can't see him having the appeal that Bieber has outside of his fanbase, but I guess we'll have to wait and see!

Um, it's an alright song, I guess. I'm not overly impressed or anything. As far as its hit potential, it could go either way. This is going to be huge. Just think about it. The fans will buy and/or stream the song, the video will get a good amount of views. This should be big on airplay too. You could say that, but when he was part of 1D not even a year ago, why wasn't that the case? He probably had just as much fans then, if not more with the added 1D members also having their own fanbases, yet they don't seem to do much on the Hot 100 past debut week.

Well now that I'm over the fact I'm not getting "Jealous/Boyfriend" num.2 and can actually listen to this without pre conceived notions . I like it but it's not exactly what I expecting.

I live for the chorus. It has great melody and gives me minor We Are Young anthemic vibes

Sounds good from the clip I heard. I haven't found it on any blogs yet to download. You can listen free on Apple music or pay $1.29 on Itunes. Clearly I am not interested in paying for it, hence my post. Anyway, I found it. I will play it on my morning commute but definitely digging what I have heard so far.

This is f*cking fantastic. I wasn't expecting anything from him, but I like this more than the vast majority of what I've heard from 1D.
