“What Makes You Beautiful” blasts through speakers

“Baby you light up the world like nobody else.”

Around Valentine’s Day, guys are looking for romantic ways to impress their girls. What’s a better way to do that than sing “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction during a nice dinner or picnic?

“The way you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed.”

Soaring off the charts in the UK, British boy band One Direction captures every girl’s heart with its number one hit “What Makes You Beautiful.” Starting as individuals who auditioned in X-Factor, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson were brought together to make One Direction. Sadly, they didn’t win X-Factor, but they did land more than a million of fans around the world. As individual singers, their voices amaze the audience, but as a group they introduce the listener to a contagious melody of love and sweet words.

“But when you smile at the ground, it ain’t hard to tell.”

In this past month,  “What Makes You Beautiful” grabbed the attention of more than 47 million viewers in Youtube. Their song starts with a little spice, upbeat music, and continues on with their heart throbbing lyrics. This song just can’t stop from being played over and over again. Adding in the fact that the band is a group of pretty “cute” looking guys, girls just can’t help but get snatched in the web of One Direction.

“You don’t know, oh, oh, you don’t know that you’re beautiful.”

It’s overwhelming to think about how this boy band could become so successful. Having already debuted numerous albums, its songs finally reached the coasts of the US and began to capture American hearts. Now, even during a bathroom break, “What Makes You Beautiful” would be blasting through the speakers and echoing throughout the halls.
