By the Numbers
Made in the A.M. was One Direction's only album recorded as a four-piece after Zayn Malik left the group in March 2015, and the remaining members, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan, wrote across most of it. The familiar team of Julian Bunetta, John Ryan, Jamie Scott, Jacob Kasher and Wayne Hector returned as the primary collaborators and producers. Hit single 'Drag Me Down' and 'History' both came out of this band-and-writers partnership, the latter co-written by Payne and Tomlinson with Hector, Ed Drewett, Bunetta and Ryan. The record reads as a farewell statement built largely on the members' own contributions.
Made in the A.M. is the fifth and final studio album by One Direction, released on 13 November 2015 through Syco Records and Columbia Records. It was recorded and released as a four-piece after Zayn Malik's departure from the group in March 2015, making it the only One Direction album without him. The album represents the fullest expression of the group's songwriting involvement, with Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson holding co-writing credits on virtually every track. Several band members also received production credits, including Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan. Lead single 'Drag Me Down' debuted at number one in the UK and reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100; the group announced an indefinite hiatus in January 2016 shortly after the album's release.
