One Direction want to write their own songs

  • April 23, 2012

Sound the AUTHENTIC MUSIC klaxon: One Direction want to do "more and more" of their own song-writing.

"We’ve got a couple of writing stuff [we think he means credits] on the album that we’ve just done," alleged koala chlamydia sufferer Harry told New Zealand's Close Up. "I think we all write. On the road and stuff we’re in a lot of planes and in a lot of hotels and obviously you just write there."

He went on to discuss how it's all about the music but had bad news for aspiring song­writers of a certain age. Harry said: "For us it’s always been important that the music is going to be authentic and comes from us and doesn’t just sound like a 40-year-old man’s written it in an office and given it to us."
