One Direction have already been slowly unveiling songs using their new album, Made in the A.M., that may come out Friday, and also the latest may be the plaintive track, “What a Feeling.”
The mid-tempo tune finds the people singing regarding how they can’t get close enough for the girl they love and just how they feel like kings when they are with her. The group’s Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne co-wrote the nostalgic-sounding tune with frequent collaborator Jamie Scott and a couple of newcomers, Daniel Bryer and Mike Needle.
Tomlinson tweeted out a link to your tune, calling it “another banger” and suggested which it was Payne’s favorite around the record. Rather than reply, his bandmate posted who’s was “one of [his] favorites.”
The song’s release follows a string of recent Made in the A.M. tracks, such as ballad “Love You Goodbye,” sing-along-ready “End with the Day” and folky “History.” They also released a song relating to bad-boy personas, “Perfect.”
In an up to date interview with frequent One Direction collaborator Julian Bunetta, Rolling Stone suggested that Payne and Tomlinson had evolved into a formidable songwriting pair. “They’ve written some classics, those boys,” he replied. “The process is interesting because there’s a number of people in the room. … Everyone is very headstrong and incredibly, very talented, therefore it is a fight, a lot in the times. Sometimes it takes days before most of us agree on something. It’s a good fight!”
