The second track, and the second single off the album, “Story of My Life” marks the beginning of the album’s shift towards a deeper, more mature sound. It’s presence on this record ensures the album will still attract veteran listeners, who are a sizable part of One Direction’s fan base. This song provides a nice segway between this album and the first two collections, and is the most lighthearted track by far.

“Midnight Memories” opens with the track “Best Song Ever,” the first single off the album released by the band to promote their movie “This is Us”. In addition, all five members have a similar number of solos throughout the tracks, making the distribution of solos more evenly spread than in prior albums. The album has significant alternative and rock influences, due to members of One Republic, McFly and Snow Patrol all helping One Direction to write songs for the album. The songs come across as more authentic as the band members personal feelings and experiences are reflected in the lyrics. The number of songs written by the members represents a turning point in the band’s maturity that is reflected continually throughout the album. The lion’s share of the song writing was done by members Louis Tomlinson (21) and Liam Payne (20).
In contrast, 13 of the 18 songs on “Midnight Memories” were co-written by at least one member. In the first album, only three of the 13 songs were co-written by the five members.

In both “Up All Night” (2011) and “Take Me Home” (2012), the majority of songs were written by professional songwriters. One of the most notable differences in the third album is the number of songs written by the members themselves. The boys of One Direction and their production team have realized this, and their third studio album “Midnight Memories” is a deviation from the uptempo pop love songs that rule their first two albums. There’s only so long that their audience will listen to different versions of the same manufactured commercial pop. It’s no secret that by their nature, there’s a ticking time bomb on boy bands.
