Malik embarked on his solo journey after leaving One Direction in 2015, but he hasn’t forgotten his roots. He opened up about his time with the band in an interview on a Stationhead stream and said he enjoys listening back to the band’s back catalog.

“I’ve been listening to a bit of One Direction music recently, reminiscing. Good times. We made some good music as a band. We were pretty good,” said Malik.

Malik joined One Direction in 2010, alongside Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson, following their auditions for the British singing competition show The X Factor. They went on to become one of the best-selling boy bands of all time, but it all came crashing down when Malik left in 2015 and they officially went on hiatus one year later.

Malik is currently gearing up for the release of his fourth solo studio album Room Under the Stairs. It will hit the shelves on May 17, and he promoted its release with the lead single “What I Am”.

Zayn Malik made a rare appearance on Call Her Daddy podcast and discussed many different topics with its cost Alex Cooper. He took a moment to reflect on his time with One Direction and revealed the real reason behind his departure in 2015.

Zayn said that he “completely, selfishly” wanted to be the first person to leave and make his own record and this was one of the reasons why he decided to go solo almost a decade ago.

“I was like, ‘I’m gonna jump the gun here for the first time.’ I’m a passive dude, but when it comes to my music and my business, I’m serious about it and I’m competitive. So I wanted to be the first to go and do my own thing,” he explained.

Malik also told Cooper that they all grew “sick of each other” because they used to be together every day for five years, but added that he now looks back at that time in a much fonder light.

Styles recently made an appearance on the final episode of James Corden’s Late Late Show and took part in the “Spill Your Guts or Eat Your Guts” segment. The segment requires participants to either answer the question truthfully or eat unappetizing food. Expectedly, Styles was handed a question that everyone wanted to know the answer to: “Yes or no, will there be a One Direction reunion? Will it ever happen?”

To his credit, Styles opted to “spill his guts” and answer in a way that provides a glimpse of hope to One Direction fans.

“I fear that it’s not a yes or no question,” said Styles. “I think I would never say never to that. If there was a time when we wanted to do it, I don’t see why we wouldn’t.”

One Direction was formed in 2010 during the reality singing competition The X Factor, consisting of Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik. During their time together, they released five studio albums and sold 70 million records worldwide. The group went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016 to allow individual members to explore other projects.

Horan is currently busy promoting his upcoming album The Show, and he recently set down with Esquire to discuss his plans for the future. Horan revealed that he sent music from his new record to Louis Tomlinson to get his honest feedback, adding that he has a habit of doing the same with the rest of his former bandmates.

“Not every time, but if I feel like I need an opinion, I always send it out… We’ve released enough songs over the years, so we know what’s decent and what’s not. All the 1D boys and artists alike, I’ll always try and send it around and get everybody’s opinion,” he explained.

Horan’s third solo album The Show will hit the shelves on June 9, and he described it as a reflection of where he is in his life as a person, a musician, and a songwriter. The album will feature a total of 10 tracks, including the previously released lead single “Heaven”.

It has been exactly a decade since the group formed on the UK talent show The X Factor. Each member entered the talent show solo but ended up forming the group that went onto come third on the show. They then went on to become an internationally-acclaimed boyband.

To mark the occasion, former member Harry Styles wrote: “I’ve been struggling to put into words how grateful I am for everything that’s happened over the last ten years. I’ve seen things and places that I’d only ever dreamt of when I was growing up.

“I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with some of the most incredible people, and gained friendships that I know I will treasure for the rest of my life. None of this would be possible without the support you’ve given along the way.

“And for that, I will be forever thankful. I just can’t believe it’s been ten years. Thank you to our crew, our team, and everyone else who helped us along the way.”

He added: “To all the fans, I love you, and I thank you with all my heart. You did it all, and you changed everything.”

One Direction are no longer together but their fan base remains strong.

The young singer did an in-depth interview with Rolling Stone where he answered a long list of burning questions, and one of them just happened to be about the famous boy band that brought him to prominence.

After being asked if he can imagine himself reuniting with the rest of One Direction, Harry Styles said he’s open to the possibility, but only if it comes out of a natural progression of things.

“If there’s a time when we all really want to do it, that’s the only time for us to do it because I don’t think it should be about anything else other than the fact that we’re all like, ‘Hey, this was really fun. We should do this again.’ But until that time, I feel like I’m really enjoying making music and experimenting,” said former One Direction singer.

Styles also added he believes things wouldn’t be the same if they came back together because he enjoys making music in the way he does now and can’t see himself making a full switch.

Tomlinson recently discussed a potential One Direction reunion in an interview with ITN News, saying he can see them performing as a band, but probably not in a nearby future.

“I do think it will happen. I’d certainly have something to say about it if it didn’t. I think it’s inevitable. ‘When’ is the big question. That’s something none of us really know the answer to at the moment,” explained Tomlinson.

One Direction went on an indefinite hiatus about a year after Zayn Malik left the group in 2015, in an attempt to start a solo career. His bandmates later followed in his footsteps, and Tomlinson feels they won’t get back together until they establish themselves as solo artists.

Aside from announcing his upcoming EP, Liam Payne decided to explain why he still hasn’t released a studio album, which was previously announced for September 14th. According to Payne, his debut record is done, but he wasn’t satisfied with some of the songs on it and decided to get some more work done.

“As you may know, the last few months have seen some big changes for me,” the 24-year-old singer explained. “I looked at some of the songs on my album, which were done a while ago, and they felt from another age. I’m determined for my debut album to truly represent me.”

“I’m now back in the studio working hard to finalize the final few new songs on the record — I’m genuinely excited about the music I’m writing and recording and I can’t wait for it to be ready for you all,” he added.

Besides working on his debut album, Liam Payne is also busy collaborating with other artists. He recently teamed with Rita Ora for the song “For You,” which was featured on the soundtrack of the film Fifty Shades Freed. He also released single “Familiar” with Colombian reggaeton star J Balvin.

One Direction (ironically…) went their separate ways two years ago. Liam has told the Daily Star, however, that he thinks that a reunion might happen in the foreseeable future.

“It’s amazing that we’re doing our own thing and then, hopefully one day soon, we get back together and have another great time of it, who knows?” he said.

Until then, Liam is making the final touches to his debut solo album, which will be released later this year. He will also be doing a worldwide tour in 2019. He is also said to be involved with a US talent show.

“I have fun doing TV, and I have fun doing music, I want to do both,” he hinted.

“I will always want to do music, it’s just that I had so many opportunities come my way and I felt it was just such an amazing time to go and spread my wings and experiment with different types of entertainment.”
