The lead single from One Direction's fifth album (and their first as a quartet) is coming soon, according to this week's Columbia promo newsletter.

I'm ready to hear what they come up with this era. Hopefully it will be better than the singles from the last era.

Yeah, no way they're breaking up permanently. None of them - not even Harry - has what it takes to be a successful solo artist. They'll all try their luck for a few years and then end up reuniting (including Zayn) when they fail.

Last album did have one of the biggest songs of the decade in "Story Of My Life" on three formats, that still and always will be in gold rotation for quite a bit.

I think they pushed the album too quick, oh well, not a fan of the group but SOML was really good.

Hopefully the absence of Zayn doesn't lead to more louis solos.

Looking forward to hearing this. I don't think they'll take a break for long. Maybe 6 months to a year at most. I think they will end up being like the BSB and eventually release albums and tour every now and then but stay together thru the long haul. Zayn will be back at some point like Kevin was, but it took Kevin 6 years to make it back. But they will at least need to do a limited tour to promote the new album. The break probably won't start til the 2nd half of next year. I flew 3000 miles from home just to see their current tour last week. I expect a whole new experimental sound and an incredible lead single and album.

Yeah, I don't currently see them breaking up, but they've been working their tails off for four years, with an almost clockwork-like pace of putting out an album each year (with several singles) and tours. So you can't blame them if they decide to take a year or so to decompress; their fanbase is big enough and they have enough hits (even though only two have been really huge at American CHR thus far) so that they won't be forgotten if they do. It would be interesting to see what, if any, new paths their future music takes.

I think the statements from them that the new material isn't too much of a departure from their previous album (which wasn't an angle they played PR wise on prior releases if I remember correctly) is also somewhat of a silent admission that they're reaching the end of their creative journey for the time being.

Can't wait! It will be interesting what the band will sound like now that my favorite member is no longer with them, </3 but I love this band so I'm looking forward to new music. It doesn't hurt that their last era felt like it ended really quickly so I feel like I've waited longer for new music than I actually have, lol.

Really good! One of their better singles tbh, which makes me miss Zayn all the more! He'd have killed that prechorus.
Regardless, I hope this does well. I want them to go out on a high note!

It's definitely better than their last lead single. Some of the high notes near the end seemed off but other than that and some of Louis' vocals it was a solid single.

This is great. Now, let's wait for Zayn to drop that debut solo single.
Tag me everytime they release something, 'kay?

I love it and such a better single than their last offering. But Zayn's absence is really felt.

I'm going to need Zayn to drop that R&B/Pop classic soon because 1D still does nothing for me.
