VIDEO: One Direction Talks Upcoming Tour, New Songs, and More!

The newly Zayn-less band One Direction recently shared details about their upcoming tour on the American Music Awards red carpet. Below, check out the interview with the group as they reveal plans for their new album and upcoming concerts, and even give a special shout-out!

They also spoke about their new single, "History." Some of the lyrics say, "You and me, we got a whole lot of history / We could be the greatest thing the world has ever seen" and "So don't let it go / We can make some more / We can live forever." Describing it as akin to "You've Got a Friend in Me," from TOY STORY, Liam Payne shares, "More than anything, the song is about the way the fans and everyone have created this massive thing-One Direction-over the past five years."

One Direction - composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson - formed in 2010 on the U.K.'s award-winning TV talent show "The X Factor." The group's debut single, "What Makes You Beautiful," was released in September 2011 and went straight to #1 in the U.K., with their first album, "Up All Night," following suit and also topping the Billboard album chart in the U.S. The release of their second album, "Take Me Home," took One Direction to #1 in 37 countries. Their third album, "Midnight Memories," was announced as the biggest selling album globally of 2013. One Direction's fourth #1 studio album, "FOUR" featured hit singles "Steal My Girl" and "Night Changes." The album made Billboard history as the only group in the 58-year history of the chart to see their first four albums debut at number one.

The band has sold more than 50 million records worldwide, achieved a total of 91 number ones, and is the recipient of five Billboard Music Awards, four MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS and five American Music Awards, among others. They have a massive 115 million Twitter followers and 38 million Facebook fans. One Direction surprised fans in July 2015 with the release of their single "Drag Me Down," breaking the record for the most streams of any one song in a single week at the time. The band's fifth studio album 'MADE IN THE A.M.' is set to be released on November 13, 2015.
