Last year, the boy band “One Direction” placed third on X-Factor to winner Matt Cardle, but that hasn’t stopped them. Earlier this year, the teen heartthrobs signed with Simon Cowell’s Syco label and have now just released their debut song “What Makes You Beautiful” on BBC Radio 1. I’m thinking it’s going to be a hit!

“We’re so excited to get the single finally out there,” said Harry Styles during a chat on the radio. “When we were recording in the studio we knew instantly that we wanted this track to be our first single.”

The single will be released on September 11th, and the album will follow later in the year. The music video for the song will debut on August 14th. For now, you can listen to the track via the animated lyric video below.
