“10 Years” by One Direction
“10 Years” is a song which One Direction reportedly dropped in celebration of their 10-year anniversary, i.e. the band originally being formed back in 2010. And the vocalists, albeit tersely, acknowledge the highs and lows of their superstar lifestyles. But they are of course appreciative overall, recognizing that they went from being unknown to indeed achieving stardom. And in that regard they are thanking some unidentified individual(s) – perhaps their fanbase – for making it all possible.
The official release date for “10 Years” is listed as 23 July 2020. At the time there is a prevailing rumor this is a ‘fake’ song, i.e. a track that was not actually made by One Direction, who have been defunct for since 2016. Or if nothing else it would be some sort of leak. For if an officially-recognized One Direction song did in fact come or was leaked, such an event would be met with exceptional fanfare. But none of the music-related media outlets have written reports about this track at the time of its release.
The writing of this song is credited to the original members of One Direction. The official writing credits of “10 Years” are as follows:
- Harry Styles
- Liam Payne
- Louis Tomlinson
- Niall Horan
- Zayn Malik
And its producers are listed as:
- C. Falk
- A. Howes
- J. Corden
- B. Rowling
- M. Squire
- Rami
- RedOne
