One Direction has been working on their next album for a while now, with each member doing their own thing separately, as well as being on tour together. "They're all becoming like their own unique person, so I think that's when you'll get the best songs," Naughty Boy said. The 1975 previously said they also worked with 1D in the studio on their next album. "I went into the studio with them and we started to work on one track," Matt Healy told Digital Spy. "They were asked to list who they wanted to work with on the next album, and we were one of the people they chose."

One Direction is currently on their overseas Where We Are tour, with the boys next stop being Madrid.
