On Twitter, Liam wrote (alongside a text reading, “Im in a boyband”), “What a journey … I had no idea what we were in for when I sent this text to my Dad ten years ago at this exact time the band was formed. to the boys, I love you so much, and I couldn’t be prouder of everything we achieved together. You did it all, and you changed everything. To all the fans, I love you, and I thank you with all my heart. Thank you to our crew, our team, and everyone else who helped us along the way. I just can’t believe it’s been ten years. And for that, I will be forever thankful. None of this would be possible without the support you’ve given along the way. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with some of the most incredible people, and gained friendships that I know I will treasure for the rest of my life. I’ve seen things and places that I’d only ever dreamt of when I was growing up. I’ve been struggling to put into words how grateful I am for everything that’s happened over the last ten years. Harry posted a photo of the boys to Instagram, writing: But we know what you really care about is everyone’s individual posts. The band also posted a five-minute video to YouTube of the biggest moments from their history and revived their social accounts. The releases do mark the first time some 1D songs have hit Spotify, namely the new Take Me Home tracks “Irresistible,” “Magic,” and “Truly Madly Deeply.” And what more fitting gifts for the aluminum anniversary than leftover music preserved from 2012? We’ll take it. But you will be getting a lot of old music: specifically, four EPs ( Acoustic, Live, Rarities, and Remixes) and a newly expanded version of their debut album, Take Me Home. And you won’t be getting new One Direction today, which is the band’s 10th anniversary. You’ve spent about five years at this point waiting for new music from One Direction, as if we need to remind you.
