Story of My Life - One Direction Review


Story of My Life is a new single released by boy band One Direction. Despite having a busy schedule, and being mobbed by fans 24/7, the boys of One Direction just keep giving! Their new single Story of my life has just been released, and it came as a shock to fans! It is the second single to have been released from the boys upcoming album “Midnight Memories”.
Story of My Life comes across as a typical love song, and who doesn’t love a cheesy love song. I know I do!! With lyrics including: “The story of my life I take her home, I drive all night to keep her warm and time… is frozen (the story of, the story of). The story of my life I give her hope, I spend her love until she’s broke inside/The story of my life (the story of, the story of).” is bound to have young girls all over the world swooning at their feet!
It’s a kinder, gentle, softer 1D, and the track also shows the breadth of talent. 1D are not just a boy band. This song proves they have a long musical future ahead of them. The harmonising comes during the song’s bold choruses, but each member handles a verse. There’s no vocal histrionics, just a solid and sweet delivery of these powerful words.

The music video shows Harry, Liam, Niall, Zayn, and Louis developing childhood pictures in a dark room before those photos come to life, complete with the guys’ real family members. Zayn’s sister puts her hair in pigtails to re-create a photo of the two as kids. And, in an especially touching moment, a picture of Louis with his grandparents and great-grandparents is shown, only to have his great-grandparents fade away when the picture enters the present.
Story of My Life can relate to all the Directioners, but especially to the ones that are a couple of years older. This song hows that the boys are growing up and are no longer the young boys we saw in “What Makes You Beautiful”.
Despite being a well produced track, it still managed to miss of the top spot in the UKs Top 40 Singles Chart. Story Of My Life shot in at number 2 in the charts this, just behind Rihanna’s new collaboration with Eminem.
