One Direction pulled a Beyonce. Well, a half-yonce. Early Friday morning they surprised Directioners by releasing a brand new single, "Drag Me Down."
This comes just a few days after ex-member Zayn Malik announced that he has signed with RCA records. In a cryptic tweet on Wednesday, he said that he left One Direction to make "real music." Let the eye rolling commence.
The boys of One Direction answered back with a "real" song that is already breaking records. While some fans believe that this song is a response to Zayn's departure, we think it's purely coincidental. Regardless, "Drag Me Down" is a smash. The boys have hinted at their changing sound, citing new inspirations like Fleetwood Mac.
One Direction didn't wait long to debut the song on their current tour. The four boys rocked "Drag Me Down" at Friday's show in Indianapolis and the crowd went wild (obvi).
