One Direction has released their first song, Drag Me Down, since Zayn Malik has left the band. Fans have been waiting to see how the boy band would sound without a key component – Zayne Malik. It looks like the band has gotten the fans approval since One Direction has been trending on Twitter from the moment the song was released.
The release of the new song, Drag Me Down, was a big surprise since they dropped the song without any warning. They also surprised fans by announcing they will be performing live on Good Morning America on Tuesday, August 4, 2015 in Central Park.
The band announced the new song individually via twitter with Liam Payne tweeting,
“Bit of a surprise ! Check out our new single! It’s called Drag Me Down & I hope you love it as much as we do.”
Niall Horan also tweeted, “Finally we get to say this ! have waited a long time but our new single Drag Me Down is out.”
Louie Tomlinson, “We wanted you guys to have our new single first so here it is”
Harry Styles tweeted a link to the song on iTunes.
The band is finally making headlines for their music, rather than the drama that has been going on over the past few months. First Zayn suddenly left the band, citing personal reasons, only to go out on his own and sign a record deal with RCA, then Louie Tomlinson announced he was having a baby with his stylist.
Take a listen to the song and let us know – do you think One Direction has a hit on their hands?
“Drag Me Down”
[Harry:]
I’ve got fire for a heart
I’m not scared of the dark
You’ve never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul
And baby you’re a boat
Baby you’re my only reason
[Louis:]
If I didn’t have you there would be nothing left
The shell of a man who could never be his best
If I didn’t have you, I’d never see the sun
You taught me how to be someone, yeah
[Liam:]
All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They can’t blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
[Niall:]
All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They can’t blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
[Chorus:]
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
[Niall:]
I got a fire for a heart
I’m not scared of the dark
You’ve never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul
And baby you’re a boat
Baby you’re my only reason
[Harry:]
If I didn’t have you there would be nothing left (nothing left)
The shell of a man who could never be his best (be his best)
If I didn’t have you, I’d never see the sun (see the sun)

All my life
You stood by me

Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me
[Liam:]
All my life
You stood by me

With your love, nobody can drag me down

When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They can’t blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down

Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
