One Direction’s last album as a five, ironically called ‘Four’, is exactly why it holds a special place in our hearts.

One Direction released ‘Four’ in 2014; the chart-topping EP that brought us bangers such as ‘No Control’, ‘Clouds’ and ‘Steal My Girl’.

Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson went on to disband a whole year later, after Zayn quit the group in March 2015.

Ironically, ‘Four’ was One Direction’s last album as a fivesome so it’s no wonder it hits so hard with every re-listen.

‘Steal My Girl’ was of course the lead single from the album, reaching No. 3 in the charts and becoming one of the boys’ most iconic tunes.

The video even starred Danny DeVito as its ‘director’, cementing 1D’s legendary status for the 1000th time.

One year after that the boys – then just Niall, Harry, Liam and Louis – released ‘Made in the A.M.’, their fifth and final studio album together.
