All those late nights filming in London have paid off for One Direction fans, as the band has finally released its official music video for Midnight Memories.

Directioners will certainly find the video more than appealing, as the boys take the viewers with them on a night out.

They're back: One Direction release music video for new single Midnight Memories

Midnight Memories sees the band at their most exuberant and energetic. Co-written by Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, the song reflects the band's growing maturity.

In a series of colourful scenes, the band can be seen enjoying a house party and popping into a kebab shop, where they are joined by a host of fans.

They also enjoy a late-night ride on five red mobility scooters and dance with a group of elderly revellers.

The boys later climb aboard a police boat where they are seen sporting some pretty nifty life-jackets before singing their hearts out while harnessed on top of Tower Bridge.

The album Midnight Memories achieved the biggest pre-order in iTunes history, and saw One Direction become the first band ever to have their first three albums debut at No.1 in the US Billboard chart.

Meanwhile it went on to hit No.1 in a further 30 countries and became the best-selling album of 2013 in the UK, with the highest week one sales for three years.

Check it out!

It would seem that One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles has new favourite designer. After being spotted out and about in their iconic hooded duffel coat, he’s now sporting his signature plaid shirt from Saint Laurent's AW13 collection again!

Here we see one of those rare timeless pieces that looks great, is super wearable and will last throughout the seasons; the classic checked shirt. Made famous in the nineties, this wardrobe staple has been worn by everyone from Kurt Kobain to Johnny Depp, so if you haven’t invested in one just yet, now is the time.

Ladies, if you're stuck for a style for your very own boy band boyfriend, allow us to recommend a rugged flannel shirt. Guaranteed to become a staple piece, it will look and feel great. And gentlemen - you can't deny he's a dapper chap, so be hot on Harry's heels and invest big in this trend.

Unsurprisingly, the Saint Laurent version is no longer available. So we've rounded up our favourite high street alternatives. Native Youth's country plaid shirt (below) is spot on. Buy a few sizes up for an oversized off-duty look and team with classic black jeans and Chelsea boots if you’re keen to head in Harry’s direction.

Simon Cowell said this week: ‘One Direction were the biggest selling artists in 2013. I know how much they put into this record from start to finish. Very proud.’

It’s a great accolade for the band, who shot to fame just four short years ago during the X Factor 2010.

The band has been named the IFPI Global Recording Artists of 2013, receiving the newly-created award honouring the most popular recording artist across music downloads, streaming and physical format sales.

The band are nominated for Best British Group and Best British Single at the 2014 Brit Awards.

2014 will see One Direction head off on an incredible worldwide stadium tour, taking in the UK and Europe, South America and the USA and Canada.

On Monday, the boys Tweeted their fans to let them know about one of their tour dates.

They said: 'You got it! 1D will be performing at London's @wembleystadium on the 7th June! RT if you'll be there! 1DHQ x'

1, 2, 3

Straight off the plane to a new hotel
Just touched down, you could never tell
A big house party with a crowded kitchen
People talk shh, but we don't listen

Tell me that I'm wrong, but I do what I please
Way too many people in the Addison Lee
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh-whoa

Midnight memories
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Baby, you and me, stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing

Midnight memories
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Anywhere we go, never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it

Five foot something with the skinny jeans
Don't look back, baby follow me
I don't know where I'm going but I'm finding my way
Same old shh, but a different day

Tell me that I'm wrong, but I do what I please
Way too many people in the Addison Lee
Now I'm at the age when I know what I need, oh-whoa

Midnight memories
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Baby, you and me, stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing

Midnight memories
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Anywhere we go, never say no
Just do it, do it, do it

You and me and all our friends
I don't care how much we spend
Baby, this is what the night is for
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I know nothing's making sense
For tonight, let's just pretend
I don't wanna stop, so give me more
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Midnight memories
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Baby, you and me, stumbling in the street
Singing, singing, singing, singing

Midnight memories
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Anywhere we go, never say no
Just do it, do it, do it, do it (Yeah!)
