One Direction

Five boys, five months, one incredible dream.It's crazy to think that five months ago we didn't know each other at all. We were just five guys from different corners of the country, who dreamed of being popstars. Now we've not only found the best friends we've ever had, but we've made it to the final of The X Factor and got a recording contract too! It's been such a wild ride that it's hard to believe it's real at all!We've had the absolute time of our lives, from messing around in the house and playing tricks on the others, to singing our hearts out every week. In Forever Young we tell our story in our own words: from how we got to Bootcamp to how it felt to become 'the most exciting boy band in the UK' in a matter of weeks. We'll tell you all about what it was really like backstage and in the house.It's for each and every one of our fans, everyone who believed in us, because we want you to know what really happened on our journey from five normal guys to who we are now. We could never have done it without you. You helped us make our dream come true!Packed full of personal snaps, unseen photographs shot especially for the book and backstage footage, this is the full and remarkable story of our time on The X Factor. Stunningly designed and candidly written, it is a must for all One Direction and X Factor fans.

Foreword by Simon Cowell

The decision to take five solo contestants and give them the chance to create a group was one of the best decisions we made. But the credit for making this group work goes entirely to Niall, Harry, Liam, Zayn and Louis, who embraced the idea and not only worked incredibly hard but became genuine friends.

The boys’ attitude throughout the series made One Direction firm favourites with everyone both backstage and in The X Factor house. They are incredibly talented and hard working, polite and great to be around.

They’ve gone from being five young unknown lads to being mobbed wherever they go, and yet they’ve taken it all in their stride and remained as down to earth as when we first met them.

I can honestly say it’s been a privilege working with them. They’ve taken everything we’ve thrown at them and run with it, they’ve brought their own ideas – whether it’s been on their songs or staging – and every week they did an incredible job.

They know who they are as a band, the type of music they want to make and they are full of ideas and plans for the future. As their mentor, I was disappointed the boys didn’t manage to become the first band to win The X Factor, but I have no doubt that they will go on to achieve great things and I’m very much looking forward to working with them for a long time to come.

The X Factor is all about discovering new talent, and One Direction are a testament to how much talent we have in the UK.

Thank you to everyone who voted for them and supported them throughout the competition. I know that they will not let you down.
