Billboard.com reports that One Direction has released the video for the band's third single, "History," off their album, Made in the A.M. The video features flashbacks of moments over their last five years as a group. The new footage finds the now grown-up foursome singing straight to the camera.

"History," an upbeat pop song written by Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson alongside producers John Ryan and Julian Bunetta, follows "Drag Me Down" and "Perfect" as singles off November's Made in the A.M, the group's fifth studio album.

The video release powered "History" back to No. 1 on the real-time Billboard + Twitter Trending 140 chart. It's the song's first time as the most discussed track on Twitter since Jan. 16.

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.
