No Control

No Control

One Direction

“No Control”, the eighth song taken from One Direction’s fourth studio album, was due to be released on 17 November 2014 however, leaked 9 days early.

This song is of a particularly sexual nature when compared with the band’s other songs. This may be what main songwriter, Louis Tomlinson, was alluding to when he described the latest album as “a bit more edgy and mature”.

The boys remain true to their preppy beginnings with an upbeat pop-tempo yet introduce a pounding drumbeat not dissimilar to the likes of Coldplay, whose frontman Chris Martin happens to be a main source of inspiration for the band, according to Harry Styles.
