So much happens to One Direction all the time that we barely get a chance to catch our breath .It's been like that since the X Factor days and it's still like that now .Everything goes so fast it can be hard to comprehend or take it all in .Even now,as we write this book and play the first shows of our stadium world tour,it's still difficult to register everything that's taken place. Writing this book has given us all a chance to press 'pause' for a moment, to reflect on what's happened,to look back and really enjoy it all. And because so much goes on all the time ,there seems to be so much we want to talk about .
There are so quite a few consequences of the fact that ,from day one , our fans have absolutely instrumental in our succes . We all know that without you guys on social media, things might have been very different for this band . Another key consequence is that all of our fans know pretty much every detail of our lives ,what we're doing on a particular day,who we're hanging out with ,where we're recording or treveling to,all that stuff ,instantly . You also know our back story. Previous books,thousands of magazine and radio interviews,TV shows, documentaries - even our own film - have told you the tale . There's so much that you already know about us . You already know our dates of birth ,how many siblings we have ,where we recorded ,who with,when we toured ,all our charts positions - all the specific details of being in One Direction . So in one sense it's quite a challenge to write a book that you'll find revealing or an eye-opener .
Because of all this we have not used this book to list every award ,every gig, every chart position and statistic in our career .
