While One Direction tours the world and shoots their first 3D movie, the group finds time to write new music with McFly. The collaboration has fans buzzing as two British pop forces fuse energy for a project that could blend arena-scale sound with catchy hooks. The mix of swagger and warmth feels tailored for big stages, and insiders say the timing makes sense given both groups’ packed schedules. According to TheMagazineHQ, the teams are coordinating around a sprawling world itinerary and the demands of a major filming project.
In a recent interview, Dougie Poynter, McFly’s bassist, revealed that they have been writing with Niall Horan. It hasn’t got a title yet, but the trio wrote the song together and Niall has had plenty of input. He described the process as productive and said Niall brought some strong ideas to the table. Poynter called the track stadium epic, explaining that the aim is to provide a tune that can live in the sound and energy of One Direction’s arena tours. The remarks underscore a deliberate approach: craft something that commands the room while still leaving space for the kind of memorable hooks McFly is known for. The plan, according to TheMagazineHQ, is to pair the singers’ strengths with a production that scales across big stages worldwide.
This collaboration with McFly isn’t the first time the two outfits have crossed paths. Tom Fletcher from McFly has previously contributed to One Direction’s material, helping write I Want from Up All Night and I Would from Take Me Home. Those songs helped define a bridge between McFly’s pop rock sensibility and 1D’s high energy, giving fans a taste of how their collaborations play out in practice. With such a track record, listeners are already curious about how the new song will fuse the two groups’ voices, melodies, and chart friendly sensibilities. The anticipation is fueled by fans who remember the ways McFly’s melody-driven approach has complemented 1D’s anthemic choruses in the past, suggesting the upcoming release could carry a similar balance of warmth and stadium lift.
Earlier this month, Tom teased on social media that Recording with NiallOfficial is always an adventure, a line that hints at the playful, improvisational vibe behind the project. Niall replied with a playful response that read in part, tommcfly u know it lads! Always an adventure! #WWSdannymcfly Love you boys, signaling an ongoing friendly exchange about the work. Danny Jones, One Direction’s second lead, has also used the hashtag #WWSdannymcfly in his tweets to Niall, another clue that the collaboration is real. The back and forth reads like a friendly teaser, giving fans something to parse as they await a release date.
A few days later, Danny posted an image from the studio showing the group in the vocal booth and the city vibe buzzing behind the camera. The post sparked speculation about who is in on the vocal takes and what the arrangement will sound like when the final mix lands. Fans who track every post and sip of studio life are weighing whether the track leans toward McFly’s bright pop hooks or 1D’s churning, stadium friendly energy.
