What Makes You Beautiful "What Makes You Beautiful" is a song by English-Irish boy band One Direction. It served as their debut single and lead single from their debut studio album, Up All Night (2011). Written by Savan Kotecha and producer Rami Yacoub, the song was released by Syco Records on 11 September 2011. The uptempo power pop[1] track features a prominent guitar-based chorus and riff. The middle eight consists of a "na na na" hook while the opening guitar riff interpolates The McCoys's 1965 single "Hang on Sloopy".
What Makes You Beautiful The music video for "What Makes You Beautiful" was directed by John Urbano. Filmed over two days in July 2011,[66][67] it premiered on 19 August 2011.[68] On each of the five days preceding the video's premiere, One Direction posted a teaser trailer of the video online. Each teaser showed footage from the video and behind the scenes, and one member of the band announcing how many days were left until the video premiere.[69] The video opens with One Direction spending time on a Malibu, California beach intercut with scenes of them driving an orange campervan. During the second verse, a group of three girls joins the band at the beach; in Styles' bridge solo, he intimately sings to one girl, Madison Mcmillin,[70] individually. During the final choruses the band and girls are shown sitting around a fire, lighting sparklers and taking photographs.[10] On video sharing website MUZU TV, the video was the fourth most-watched music video of 2011 in the UK.[71] The video won two MTV Video Music Awards for Best Pop Video and Most Share-Worthy Video, and earned the group the award for Best New Artist on 6 September 2012.[72] As of September 2017, the music video has received 880 million Vevo and YouTube views.[73]
