One Direction, from "Gotta Be You."


I am attracted to hot boy bands, especially when they are a British boy band, such as One Direction. What got me into their music was not just their attractiveness, but their ways of illustrating love from the male's point of view. What got me even more hooked was their beats to the songs and how every song has a different style. The following is my favorite verse from the song:



"Girl I see it in your eyes you're disappointed
'Cause I'm the foolish one that you anointed with your heart
I tore it apart
And girl what a mess I made upon your innocence
And no woman in the world deserves this
But here I am asking you for one more chance."

The interesting effect of the lyrics that was used to make the song catchy was the use of rhymes. "Girl" and "I" lead me to think that this was an apology to a girl that got her heart broken by a boy. Later on, the boy realized that he toyed with the wrong girl's heart, that is why he is asking "for one more chance."

  2. the beginning phrase, when they start the song off with "Girl" as if it is specifically to one person.
