One Direction announced new single release Live While We’re Young

Pop sensation One Direction has announced that their new single ‘Live While We’re Young’ will be out on September 30.

It’ll be the first track from The X Factor most successful group’s second studio album, expected to be released in time for Christmas.

The boys said that track will be available to pre-order from iTunes from midnight tonight.

The song was written by Savan Kotecha, Rami Yacoub & Carl Falk, who were behind the group’s smash hit debut single What Makes You Beautiful.

A press release describes the track as “unmistakeably One Direction”, claiming that ‘Live While We’re Young’ is “pop perfection – an immediate, energy packed song mixing rock undertones with smooth harmonies, about living for the moment.”

Their new album will be released ahead of their first UK headlining arena tour in the new year.
