   The boys surprise dropped 'Drag Me Down' as the record's lead single over the summer and it's proved one of their biggest hits to date.

   5. Judging from the 'Drag Me Down' video... it'll be out of this world!

   We're expecting a LOT from the boys' next offering, and it sounds like they've been experimenting with their sound for #AlbumFive.

   7. Could a team-up with Nicki Minaj make it onto the record? YES PLEASE!

   Nicki told The Sun in June this year: “I do want to work with One Direction. I mean, of course, who wouldn’t? They’re cute!” We TOTALLY agree with you, Nicki! Picture: PA

   8. The Boys Promise Something VERY Different Than They've Ever Done

   Niall revealed to ET Online: "There's a few different sounds on the album, not all the songs sound the same. They are all kind of different. It's a lot different than what we did before." Picture: Splash

    9. The boys have been furiously writing... after officially starting work on the record!

    In mid-April the 1D boys confirmed work on #AlbumFive was officially underway, with Liam Payne tweeting fans to say they're in the studio writing new material for the record, which is confirmed to be released by the end of 2015.

11. 

    10. It's the boys first album without Zayn - will they have a different sound?

    It will be their first album in their new incarnation as a four-piece - will the absence of Mr Malik lead to a totally different sound?

13. 

    11. They've been 'itching to get back in the studio', so it sounds like 1D have some ideas lined up!

    According to The Sun, the boys were desperate to get the ball rolling on their new record, which makes us think they've got some tricks up their sleeves already. Picture: Instagram

14. 

    12. The band kick off their new tour VERY soon, so could audiences get a taste of what's coming?

    Their 'On The Road Again' tour means the boys have been travelling the world together... Equalling a LOT of spare time for recording new tracks, right?

15. 

    13. Liam Payne is the only loved-up member in the band since #Elounor split - will there be love songs?

    Well that would be PRETTY adorable, right? And of course, Niall could write a love song about HIS one true love... Food Picture: Getty

    14. Fall Out Boy revealed that THEY wrote songs for 1D's last album... But didn't make the cut!

    The band explained that the tracks were probably 'too odd' for the band, but that doesn't mean they might not pop up on 2015's record! They ARE constantly developing their sound, after all. Picture: Instagram

    15. After teaming up with a musical LEGEND, it's clear that One Direction are keen on collaborating more

    After their big X Factor performance with Ronnie Wood last year, the band have been separately working with a TON of musicians, so expect a few new sounds on album number 5! Picture: Instagram

    16. One Direction and Nickelback? Oh yeah, that TOTALLY happened

    No one could see THIS coming, but with Chad Kroeger teaching Louis and Liam how to play the drums, we can only imagine what else went down! Picture: Instagram

20. 

    17. And from Nickelback to... Juicy J? Talk about eclectic!

    Juicy J featured on Katy Perry's HUGE hit 'Dark Horse', and has also worked with Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus. Now if he's helping out on some One Direction tracks, we reckon there will be a VERY different sound on the next album.

21. 

    18. Will Ed Sheeran be contributing another hit to the band's fifth record?

    Ed's written for three out of four One Direction albums (he was sorely missed on 2013's 'Midnight Memories') so it wouldn't be surprising if he did it once again! After all, he IS good mates with the lads. Picture: Getty

22. 

    19. Whatever route they choose to take, they're SURE to win some awards for it!

    1D will probably have to build themselves a new shelf for all the awards they're sure to scoop with their next album attempt. Picture: Getty

23. 

    20. One thing we know for sure... Harry Styles has been seriously working on his songwriting skills

    He's written for Ariana Grande and Meghan Trainor, and recently lyrics leaked from his session with Kodaline that read: "You, you give me something, what it is i just don’t know, but i feel like a time bomb ticking, and without you i might blow ". Kodaline have since confirmed that those were written by Haz, and now we are SO excited to hear what he writes for his own band!
