About this Song
One Direction, the English-Irish pop boy band formed in London in 2010, presents "Little Black Dress," a sound from Indonesia that reflects their evolving musical journey. The group's origin traces back to the British singing competition show *The X Factor* in 2010, where Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson, initially auditioning as solo artists, were grouped together to form the band. Both guest judge Nicole Scherzinger and long-time judge Simon Cowell claimed the idea of forming the band, with unseen 2022 footage from *The X Factor* confirming Scherzinger's significant role, as Horan was chosen first, followed by Styles, Tomlinson, Payne, and Malik. Harry Styles himself coined the band's name, One Direction, often abbreviated to 1D. After finishing third in the seventh series of *The X Factor* in 2010, Simon Cowell signed One Direction to a reported £2 million record deal with Syco Records, and they also signed with Columbia Records in North America.
