The 2015 Honda Civic Coupe EX-L customized by the band is painted a sleek black, interrupted by bright bursts of yellow, teal and purple on the bumpers, handles and mirrors - a colorful ode to summer days.

The album follows the global success of their sold out WHERE WE ARE stadium tour and the 3D film documentary THIS IS US. Fans also had the opportunity to relive the 2014 summer tour with the release of their second film WHERE WE ARE: THE CONCERT FILM, which broke records as the biggest ever Event Cinema audience across one weekend. Add all this to their 3 billion YouTube views, 109 million combined Twitter followers and 33 million Facebook fans and One Direction is more than a worldwide phenomenon.
