Oh, "What a Feeling." There's another new One Direction song out this week. Ahead of the Friday release of Made in the A.M., on Wednesday 1D continued to build up hype around its new album with the release of yet another track, the easygoing and upbeat "What a Feeling."
"What a Feeling" continues to diversify the tracklist of Made in the A.M. Co-written by Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson, the strong backbeat and layered harmonizing in the chorus of "What a Feeling" gives the song a distinctive '90s boy band flair, with an added element of a '70s breeziness.
Defined by a big wall of sound, "What a Feeling" has a bit of a magical sense surrounding it. The beat drives the song forward as 1D's light vocals float above it all. "What a Feeling" doesn't just call back to the heyday of boy bands, it also harkens back to One Direction's earlier catalogue with vague declarations of love to a mystery girl (who could totally be you). Though whether or not the boys actually have their girl is up for debate.
"What a feeling to be right here beside you now / Holding you in my arms / When the air ran out and we both started running wild / The sky fell down / But you've got stars in your eyes And I've got something missing tonight / What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow / I wish I could be there now," the boys sing in the chorus.
"What a Feeling" is just the latest song to be released from One Direction's new album Made in the A.M. It follows the release just this week of "End of the Day," "History" and "Love You Goodbye" as well as singles "Drag me Down" and "Perfect." Made in the A.M. will be released on Friday, Nov. 13. The album marks 1D's final studio effort before the boy band goes on a lengthy, indefinite hiatus in spring 2016.
