If you've been following along with One Direction news the past few months it will come to no surprise to you that One Direction is writing most of their upcoming third album on their own, especially after each of them got their own publishing deals as songwriters back in June. But it turns out that two of the members in particular have become the main songwriters for album #3, Liam and Louis, The Sun reports.
The band contributed to some songs on their second album, but admitted it's a bit of "a risk" to write their own songs. One Direction isn't alone though, boy bands writing their own songs is a growing trend. Big Time Rush contributed to most songs on their second album, Elevate, and contributed to all songs on their recent third album, 24/Seven. The Wanted have also contributed writing credits on their past albums.

"We wrote three songs on the last album, bit this is different," Louis told The Sun. "Liam and I have been spending our days off writing, It will be interesting to hear what people make of it but you'll always get criticised."
Harry even added, "Everyone is entitled to their opinion but it's easy to hate One Direction."
Meanwhile you might remember how a few months ago a solo Harry Styles song leaked online, Liam talked about that in a new interview he did with Australian radio station 2DayFM on Friday (July 26) saying that the writer of that particular put it out there because it didn't make the album. He also added that there's several songs that have just his and Louis' vocals on it as demos because they wrote the tracks.
"There's a lot of songs out there with just mine and Louis vocals on them when we've been doing writing together, and it's not that we're just like abandoning the group or anything," Liam said. "[In Harry's case] it's just that writer decided to put that song out because I don't think it made the album, so I think he might've been a bit distraught by it, I dunno."
Anyone else getting even more excited to hear these new One Direction tracks??
