One Direction, the secret behind success

One of the most named boybands in our times is One Direction, Harry, Niall, Liam, Louis and the ex-member Zayn, were the ones that make us sing along with them, scream and cry during their concerts. The boyband begun in the famous T.V show, “The X Factor” in 2010, even though they lost the competition the fans and the fame that they gained at the T.V show helped them to sign a contract with Sony Music.

 But why are their songs well known all over the world? In first place the rhythm, if you listen to one of their songs you will notice that the rhythm sticks in your head and stays with you the whole time. The cheesy lyrics, most of their songs are about love or looking for the girl of their dreams making the girls get excited for being that lucky girl and finally, the cuteness of the boyband members, the five of them are good-looking and most of the girls love the fact that their idols are handsome. The break from the tour and from the craziness of the fans started on March and since that the records have been sold more than ever for the fear of not getting the chance to have heard new music from them.

As I am a great fan of them, I will explain how the boyband got me. When I was starting my second year at Junior High School all of classmates started talking about “One Direction”  at first  I did not like the music but once I searched for them I started to find interesting their songs and how they became famous. I have been in concerts and is really emotional to see all the people singing and screaming for these 5 guys.

Why do you think people love one direction? Most of the fans are teenagers just like me, who like the fact of listening to a part of their lives. The fans identify with the characters of the songs and their day to day situations. The “Story of my life” video represented their lives and how hard it can be the changes that they have been through. Some of the members were just normal students that suddenly became worldwide known showing the difficulty of this change.

Even though it is scary to think of a new 1D album, we can bet that their old records full of silly and cheesy songs would be for us a memory of this great band.
