my (baseless) theory is that he's been trying to get out since shortly after the beginning but wasn't able to until he breached a morality clause in his contract w/the cheating scandal

"an enduring image of One Direction is of Malik in the Night Changes video, the soft and intricate cascade of his hair merging with a dense knot of spaghetti"
this is so beautiful <3

i don't think there was any morality clause lol - he's already cheated on perrie publicly before so this is nothing out of the ordinary - but he's clearly hated the whole experience for sometime and was recording with naughty boy solo a few months back, so he probably just used the uproar to cite stress and get out now.

although there's already a broad consensus within the directioner stanbase that their management keeps them in loveless closeted relationships so this could feed into those theories.

The teacher who looks after our entry music used "Best Song Ever" this morning, and then I heard it again in a record store on the way home. Now I know why. (It's a song I always enjoy hearing.)

Subbing in Adam Levine as a 5th member was an odd choice.

"it's maybe their least arena rock thing yet so i'm prob just experiencing withdrawal"
yeah, i get it. i was excited when one of them said that the new record has fleetwood mac vibes, but this single it's completely different from what i expected/wanted. but, as isabel cole wrote, "every time i listen to these assholes for the first time in a while i remember how harry’s voice goes straight to my groin", i can't change that, even when i don't enjoy the songs so much as i wanted.
