“We are not splitting up, but we will be taking a well-earned break at some point next year,” Niall Horan, the popular Irishman of One Direction, tweeted when rumors sparked about the group alleged break up.

However, before the group goes on their temporary break, they are set to release their fifth studio album, ‘Made in the A.M.’, on Nov. 13. Fans are excited for their next songs, but sad that this will be their last album for a while.

Since former member Zayn Malik’s departure from One Direction last year, the group has moved on, creating new music for their new album¬¬ as well as a new sound.

“There’s a few different sounds on the album,” spilled Horan to ETonline. “It’s a lot different that what we did before.”

Suddenly releasing their first single off the new album, ‘Drag Me Down,’ One Direction sent social media sites such as Twitter into a complete firestorm, quickly soaring to the top of Billboard’s Hot 100.

“I think everyone was surprised when the song [Drag Me Down] dropped,” Rianne Urso, senior, said. “I hope the rest of the album follows in its direction.”

The group revealed the track list of their album via Snapchat, which includes songs such as ‘Perfect,’ ‘What a Feeling,’ and ‘Wolves,’ Penned by group members Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, ‘Perfect’ is the second single from the album. The song is described as “an emotionally charged ironic love song featuring passionate drumming, rousing guitars, shimmering synths and an immense chorus” during a press release, via ETonline.

With the singles that have already been released from the new album ‘Made in the A.M.,’ it appears the fans of One Direction will get a fun gift of songs and promise the group to come out with a bang.
