One Direction Announces "Live While We're Young"

WHOA!  Talk about dropping the news lightly.  We knew One Direction was going to announce something this week, but we didn’t know it would be this!

Earlier, 1D took to their Facebook page and said that there would be a major announcement.  And they totally delivered!  We know they have an album in the works, and now we’re one step closer to more music from our favorite UK pop band!  Pinch us!  In the video below, watch Harry, Zayn, Niall, Louis, and Liam themselves announce their upcoming single “Live While We’re Young,” which will be available for pre-order locally at midnight on iTunes.

"Live While We’re Young" will be the number one song on your playlist when it becomes officially available October 1.  The following month, we’ll have a whole bunch of new tracks from our guys when their album drops in November!  We know it’ll be their best one yet, because they’ll be working with tons of other artists including fellow UK performer Ed Sheeran!  It’s been a great year for tunes, and there are still a lot more on the way.  It’s not that long of a wait, is it?

First Taylor Swift announces ‘Red,’ then One Direction drops this bombshell?  Yeah, this is a good way to start off the school year :)
