What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad and everyone REMAIN CALM because a never-before-heard
One Direction song just leaked, and the Internet is going into a collective panic mode.
So we never really got the One Direction 10-year anniversary reunion we were hoping for last
month, but by the unanimous freakout that’s happening right now on the Internet, something
tells us that Directioners are totally ok with an unreleased song getting leaked!
As the band is said to have a back catalogue of unreleased songs, the newest to make its
way out of the vault on Wednesday is called “Half The World Away,” and brace yourselves
Directioners, because upon first listen, side effects might include a wave of waterworks,
sheer nostalgia and uncontrollable screams.
The song is currently circulating around the Internet after being leaked on YouTube, as
it appears to be a love song for the ages about two ex-lovers who are still longing
to be with each other even after the guy admit to messing things up.
More details about the song were spilled upon its entrance into the world as Capital FM
was the first to report that Harry Styles actually wrote it back in 2013 during the
band’s “Take Me Home” era.
In fact, Harry’s voice is the only voice on the track as this was just a demo version
that Harry recorded by himself to play for the guys.
It was uploaded to a new YouTube channel titled The One Direction Archive, but has since been
taken down just after hitting 400,000 views.
The unreleased track has naturally sent fans into a panic, but also seeking answers as
to why now, one month after the band’s 10-year anniversary, it would just randomly leak.
One Directioner tweeted, “HALF THE WORLD AWAY IS A MASTERPIECE BUT I NEED ANSWERSSSSSS.”
What’s especially odd, was that the channel was made on the same day as they dropped the
song, but fans are convinced this isn’t the only unreleased song we’ll be hearing.
This person pointed out, “Guys!
Wait!
What the fuckk?
What does ‘first official unreleased one direction song that has ever leaked’ means?
OFFICIAL???
AND THIS CHANNEL WAS MADE TODAY ONLY FOR REALISING THIS?
ISN'T That WEIRD?
VERY VERY WEIRD?”
Others seem to agree that this won’t be the last time we get an unreleased song from
the band, and that this doesn’t seem to be an accident.
This person said, “Another song leaked?
Whatever, they’re doing this on purpose now.”
Directioners are also convinced that it was Liam who leaked the song after he revealed
during a recent live chat that he would look for some unreleased 1D songs.
As fans are very aware, the leaked some comes just a month after the band’s 10-year anniversary
on July 23rd.
In honor of their anniversary, the group released a brand new “immersive and interactive”
website for fans in the form of a timeline, beginning with the history of the group, from
the first audition, up to the start of their hiatus.
Fans were essentially given a yearbook of thousands of memories although many were hoping
for an actual reunion after the guys dropped many hints that alluded to them getting back
together.
From refollowing Zayn Malik on social media to Liam actually confirming that a reunion
was happening back in April, millions of fans got their hopes up that they would announce
something big come July.
Although it wasn’t exactly what most were expecting, the guys took to social media on
their 10-year anniversary to share just how grateful they were (and still are) to be a
part of such a monumental experience.
Niall Horan tweeted, “It’s such a major part of our lives and always will be.
Cheers to US today boys and thank you to all you beautiful people who have supported us
over the last 10 years.”
Louis explained that there were too many incredible memories to mention, but said that “not
a day goes by that I don't think about how amazing it was.”
Liam shared a screenshot of a text he sent his dad just minutes after 1D was formed that
said, “I’m in a boyband,” and thanked fans for supporting them over the years.
And Harry took to Instagram to share an emotional photo of the guys onstage, and explained how
thankful he is to have been a part of the band.
He said, “I’ve seen things and places that I’d only ever dreamt of when I was
growing up.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with some of the most incredible people, and
gained friendships that I know I will treasure for the rest of my life.
None of this would be possible without the support you’ve given along the way.
And for that, I will be forever thankful.”
So now that we’re all up in our feels, if you need me, I’ll just be replaying “Half
The World Away” until the end of eternity… or until the next unreleased song leaks, for
that matter…
