Confirmed by Harry Styles as their next single.
Apparently it's being released on iTunes later today on Friday. Can't wait to hear how this sounds.

Its been described as an ironic power ballad love song. It was co written by Harry and Louis. I can see the Larry conspiracy idiots foaming at the mouth now. The song is out next Friday.

ONE DIRECTION TO RELEASE BRAND NEW SINGLE “PERFECT” ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 16, 2015
The biggest pop band in the world One Direction have announced their brand new single “Perfect.” The track is the second single from their eagerly anticipated fifth album ‘Made In The A.M.,’ which will be available globally on Friday October 16, 2015.
“Perfect” is an emotionally charged ironic love song featuring passionate drumming, rousing guitars, shimmering synths and an immense chorus. The song is produced by Julia Bunetta, Jesse Shatkin and AFTERHRS and written by Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson alongside Bunetta, Shatkin, Jacob Kasher, John Ryan and Maureen Anne McDonald.
With sales of over 65 million worldwide and performances to over 7.5 million fans, One Direction truly are a pop phenomenon. In May of this year the band won two Billboard Music Awards for Top Group and Top Touring Artist. The first single from ‘Made In The A.M.,’ “Drag Me Down” was released in July and went to #1 on 90 iTunes charts and broke streaming records globally.
The band recently headlined at the Apple Music Festival at London's famous Roundhouse venue and are currently performing to sold out arenas across the UK and Ireland for their ‘On The Road Again Tour.’ Their fifth album ‘Made In The A.M.’ is set for release worldwide on Friday, November 13, 2015 and available to pre-order now.

Not that I'm pressed but couldn't they wait until Drag Me Down was done? I feel like this going for adds means that they are going to completely drop DMD when it has potential to last a little bit longer.

DMD is done. This is the last week it can make any moves. Best hope is #6 if Selena collapses hard by the end of the week. It's a pretty good bet it'll at least end at #7 cause Weeknd (face) and Ed are within very close striking distance. Let's face facts though. Justin, Taylor, and Shawn are going to dominate #1-3 and Weeknd (Hills) and R City isn't going to drop out faster than 1D can climb. The new album is a month away and they need to get "fresh blood" on radio to generate a greater excitement than Bieber can (dressed anyway...). Bieber is likely to have the #1 radio single going into the album release and 1D has a single at it's peak (and way past its Hot 100 peak). So releasing the new single now makes the most marketing sense. DMD can get at least a #7 top 40 peak to go along with its #2 Hot 100 peak. Radio can start heavily spinning the new 1D song starting this Friday (4 Fridays before the new album). The video will drop soon after, it's already filmed. It'll be neck-in-neck between Justin and 1D on Nov 12. Both teams have musical marketing strategies in place. It'll be a photo finish. This week is the perfect time to put a fork in DMD, it's done.

www.coupdemainmagazine.com/reviews/track-track-preview-one-direction%E2%80%99s-new-album-made-am‘Perfect’ opens with echoey guitars and a driving bass, sounding vaguely Mumford & Sons-y in parts. The track is co-written by Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, and the rumours that it’s about Taylor Swift definitely aren’t helped by lyrics such as, “If you’re looking for someone to write breakup songs about." Regardless of who it’s about, it looks set to do incredibly. The chorus is as catchy as some of the band’s earliest singles, with lyrics about all the things people dating a One Direction boy could hope to get up to; “causing trouble in hotel rooms” and “having secret little rendez-vous” alongside “going places we can’t even pronounce”. Someone sign us up? Key lyric: "I might never be the one who brings you flowers, but I can be the one tonight..."

From the sound of this, I don't think I'll like it (granted this is way too short to form a proper opinion). They are forgetting about Drag Me Down way too fast

The song did well enough, but it's not Story of my life by any means

Even "Story of My Life" would have hit a block here. For 1D's Pop radio chart history this is incredible and DMD is deservingly will go down in their top 10 history with WBYB and SOML. Hopefully "Perfect" will follow too. We'll see just how "Perfect" the song is tonight!

Out on iTunes.
It sounds like a The Vamps song. The chorus is almost identical to their Lovestruck song.

I like this. The production is more reminiscent of their first 2 albums.

You can sing the chorus from "Style" by Taylor Swift during the chorus in this song.

This reminds me so much of "Style" too. How's that for an answer song?!
Otherwise this reminds me way more of the mid 90's sound of Pop radio than it does Mumford.

On first listen, I like it less than DMD, but muchhhhh more than Infinity, so I'm sure it will continue to grow!
Ready for this album!!! :)

I like this. I didn't care for "Drag Me Down", but I can get behind this.
