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."
Why Don't We Go There
One Direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think about all the places we could go
If you give in tonight
Just let me set you free
We'll touch the other side, just give me the key
'Cause we got all night
And we're going nowhere
Why don't we go there?
Let's take a ride
Out in the cold air
I know the way, why don't you go there with me?
Say the word, say the word but don't say no
Skydive, you and I, with just these clothes
The secret's safe with me
There's no right time or place
'Cause anyone can see we'll do it anyway
'Cause we got all night
We're going nowhere
Why don't you stay
Why don't we go there?
Let's take a ride
Out in the cold air
I know the way, why don't you go there with me?
Hey, I don't want you to be the one that got away
I wanna get addicted to you, yeah
You're rushing through my mind, I wanna feel the high
I wanna be addicted, don't say no
Just let go
'Cause we got all night
And we're going nowhere
Why don't you stay
Why don't we go there?
Let's take a ride
Out in the cold air
I know the way, why don't you go there with me?
With me, with me
Why don't you go there with me?
The lyrics to One Direction's song Why Don’t We Go There depict a desire to live life to the fullest with someone special. The song can be interpreted as a request for the person they're singing to, to let go of their inhibitions and surrender to the moment. The idea of taking it slow can be seen as a means to build anticipation, as they think about all the exciting things they could do together. The proposal for the night is that they find freedom and experience something new by breaking all the rules and taking a leap of faith.
The lyrics suggest that uncharted paths hold promises of adventure and excitement, offering the possibility of experiencing the high that comes with the attainment of a long-cherished desire. There are moments when the lyrics could be interpreted as a plea, a kind of ultimatum. For instance, "Say the word, say the word, but don't say no" suggests that the singer wants the other person to give a positive response, and not deny them the pleasures of an adventure in the cold air. In this line, there is an acknowledgment of openness, telling the other person that they want to reveal everything, every secret, and quell any apprehension.

Lyrics:
I know you want
Know you want to take it slow
But think about all the places we could go
If you give in tonight
Let me set you free
We’ll touch the other side
Just give me the key
Cos we’ve got all night
And we’re going nowhere
Why don’t you stay
Why don’t we go there
Let's take a ride
Out in the cold air
I know the way
Why don’t you go there
With me
Say the word
Say the word
But don’t say no
Skydive you and I with just these clothes
Secret's safe with me
There's no right time or place
Cos anyone could see
Do it anyway
Cos we’ve got all night
And we’re going nowhere
Why don’t you stay
Why don’t we go there
Let's take a ride
Out in the cold air
I know the way
Why don’t you go there

Hey, I don’t want you to be the one that got away
I wanna get addicted to you, yeah
You're rushing through my mind
I wanna feel the high
