Pop superstars One Direction are giving away a track from their new album, which they announced today will be called Four.
The quintet are allowing fans to download the song Fireproof for 24 hours for free in anticipation of their fourth album, which will come out on November 17.
One Direction's previous three albums have topped the charts in the UK and they have also been the first act ever to have their first trio of releases debut at number one in the US album chart.
The group's Niall Horan said of the download: "Because you have supported us so much, we wanted to give a little something back."
Fireproof has been written by the group's Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne along with the songwriting team of John Ryan, Jamie Scott and Julian Bunetta, who were behind the hit Story Of My Life.
Previous album Midnight Memories was the biggest seller of 2013 in the UK, and Four is available for pre-orders from today.
The download is at the group's website at www.onedirectionmusic.com.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
