Singer: One Direction

    (Harry)

    Maybe it’s the way she walked

    Straight into my heart and stole it

    Through the door and past the guards

    Just like she already owned it

    (Zayn)

    I said, “Can you give it back to me?”

    She said, “Never in your wildest dreams!”

    (All)

    And we danced all night to

    The best song ever

    We knew every line

    Now I can’t remember

    How it goes but I know

    That I won’t forget her

    ‘Cause we danced all night to

    The best song ever

    I think it went oh, oh, oh

    I think it went yeah, yeah, yeah

    I think it goes... oh

    (Liam)

    Said her name was Georgia Rose

    And her daddy was a dentist

    (Harry)

    Said I had a dirty mouth (I got a dirty mouth)

    But she kissed me like she meant it

    (Niall)

    I said, “Can I take you home with me?”

    She said, “Never in your wildest dreams!”

    Background

    The song opens with a blatant throwback to The Who’s “Baba O’Riley,” which isn’t really surprising considering the boy band’s habit of paying homage to classic rock and punk songs.

    The song tells the story of a night of dancing with an unforgettable girl, and this so called “best song ever” is in fact the soundtrack. The boys collectively swoon over perky guitars and rock beats, the chorus filled with repeated “oohs” and “yeahs.”
