In 2010, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne,
Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson auditioned
as solo candidates for the seventh series of British television reality singing competition The X Factor.[4] Failing to progress to the "Boys" category at "judges' houses", after a suggestion by guest judge Nicole Scherzinger,[4] they were put together to form a five-piece boy band at Wembley Arena, London, England, July 2010, during the "bootcamp" stage of the competition,[5] thus qualifying for the "Groups" category.
Subsequently, the group got together for two
weeks to get to know each other and to practise.[6][7] Styles came up with the name One Direction as he wanted the group to go in "one direction" in winning the competition.[6] For their qualifying song at "judges' houses",
and their first song as a group, One Direction sang an acoustic version of "Torn".[8] In the live shows within four weeks, they were Simon Cowell's last act in the competition.[9] The group quickly gained popularity in the UK.[3] One Direction finished in third place and immediately after the final, their song "Forever Young", which would have been released if they had won The X Factor, was leaked onto the internet.[10] Shortly afterwards it was confirmed, One Direction had been signed by
Cowell to a reported £2 million Syco Records record contract.[11][12] Recording for their debut album began in January 2011, as they
flew to Los Angeles to work with producer RedOne.[13] An One Direction-licensed book, One Direction: Forever Young (Our Official X
Factor Story), was published by HarperCollins in February 2011,[14] subsequently topping The Sunday Times Best Seller list.[15] The same month, the boy band and other contestants
from the series participated in the X Factor Live Tour.[16] The tour saw the group performing for 500,000 people throughout the UK.[17] After the tour concluded in April 2011, the
group continued working on their debut album,[13] recording took place in Stockholm, London, and Los Angeles, as One Direction
