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."

Just walked into the room
Makin' heads turn
Can't stop looking at you
It's so right
It's so right
It's so right you know
Did you come here alone?
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late to go home
It's so right
It's so right
It's so right you know
It's so right
It's so right
It's so right you know
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me
Little black dress
Who you doin' it for?
Little black dress
I can't take anymore
It's not right
It's not right
It's not right you know
Little black dress
What's your favorite song?
Little black dress
I won't do you no harm
It's so right
It's so right
It's so right you know
It's so right
It's so right
'Cause I'll take you home
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me baby
I wanna see the way you move for me
The lyrics to One Direction's "Little Black Dress" are about a man admiring a woman wearing a little black dress, which immediately makes heads turn when she enters the room. The man is completely captivated by her and can't help but look at her. He acknowledges how right it feels to be in that moment with her. However, he begins to realize that he might not have a chance with her as she may have come alone or may not be interested in him. The song takes a playful turn when the man asks the woman what her favorite song is and reassures her that he won't do her any harm. Eventually, he expresses his desire to see her move for him and take her home.
The lyrics are ultimately about desire and lust, but they also showcase the uncertainty and nervousness that come with trying to impress someone. The little black dress serves as a symbol of sensuality, confidence, and power, and the man is completely drawn to it. The song plays with the idea of going after what you want and not being afraid to take a chance, even when the odds may not be in your favor.
