Adele was a true admirer of the work the One Direction boys used to do when they were together in the band.
The globally-acclaimed English Irish pop consisting of five members namely Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne rose to fame with their debut track What Makes You Beautiful in 2011.
After the release of their first single, the boys didn’t stop and continued to rise high by releasing five albums in the duration of five years.
Their work was not only admired by fans, but many big artists in Hollywood were also their fans.
Adele, being one of them, liked their work so much that she even had an eye on one of their songs called Fool’s Gold. She wanted that song for herself and even contacted the makers for it.
On November 3, Jason Lipshutz Billboard‘s co-chief content officer and Atria author finally released the book titled “A Whole Lotta History” based on One Direction’s journey.
In the section where he spoke about the making of One Direction’s 2014 album Four, revealed that the Fool’s Gold songwriters Mozella and Jamie Scott told him that the Hello singer also loved that songs besides the 1D guys and she wanted the track for herself.
Jason quoted Scott, “I remember getting a call from Adele, saying, ‘I just heard this song that you wrote for One Direction!”
The book disclosed that Adele had heard the song and she loved it. But they already promised the song to the boys, so they couldn’t back out.
Fool’s Gold was the fifth song from the band’s fourth album. The soundtrack eached No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and U.K. Album charts.
