Malik Exits One Direction (March 2015)
On March 25th, 2015, Zayn Malik announced he was to leave the band. Commenting on his exit from the band, he said "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band".
A Band Break-(up?) from March 2016
On Aug 23, 2015, The Sun newspaper in the UK reported that the band would "take a break" from March 2016, after they finish promoting their fifth studio album Made in the A.M.. A source said, "The guys have been together for five years, which is an incredible run for any boy band. They fully deserve to have at least a year to work on their own projects. There is absolutely no bad blood between them and they are all 100% behind the decision. It is definitely not a split and they fully intend to get back together at some time in the future."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More than a feeling
Crazy in love
Dancing on the ceiling
Every time we touch
I'm all shook up
You make me wanna
God only knows, baby
Woo
I don't know how else to sum it up
'Cause words ain't good enough, ow
There's no way I can explain your love, no
I don't know how else to sum it up
'Cause words ain't good enough, ow
I can't explain your love, no
It's better than words
Better than words
Better than words
Drive ya crazy
Someone like you
Always be my baby
Best I ever had
Hips don't lie
You make me wanna
One more night
Irreplaceable (yeah), crazy (crazy)
Woo
I don't know how else to sum it up
'Cause words ain't good enough, ow
There's no way I can explain your love, no
I don't know how else to sum it up
'Cause words ain't good enough, ow
I can't explain your love, no
Everyone tries (They try)
To see what it feels like (Feels like)
But they'll never be right
'Cause it's better (better)
It's better
One more time
Better than words
Yeah
Woo
I don't know how else to sum it up (I don't know)

The song Better Than Words by One Direction is a catchy and upbeat pop song that is all about how love is sometimes too complex to put into words. The lyrics express how the way someone feels about another person is more than just words, it's a feeling that can't be fully articulated. The song references a variety of love songs and genres, such as Paul McCartney's song "God Only Knows" and Lionel Richie's "Dancing on the Ceiling," to convey that love is a universal feeling that transcends time and genre. The chorus of the song repeats the line "It's better than words" to reinforce the idea that love can't be described through language alone.
The verses of the song use various lyrics and phrases from classic love songs to create a collage of love expressions. Each line is a nod to a different love song or genre, such as "More than a feeling" referencing a classic song by Boston, and "Hips don't lie" referencing Shakira's hit song. The song also features a bridge where the lyrics state that everyone tries to understand what love feels like but they will never get it right because it's "better than words."
Overall, Better Than Words is a fun and upbeat song that celebrates the power of love and how it's impossible to fully articulate through language alone.
