Tak usah lagi membahas kerusakan yang diakibatkan oleh hengkangnya Zayn Malik dari formasi One Direction. Toh mereka masih punya kuasa untuk menarik minat para pecinta musik pop dunia meskipun hanya bermodalkan empat orang saja. Disokong oleh tim pakem Julian Bunetta, Jamie Scott, dan John Ryan yang sudah setia sejak album-album terdahulu, kini 1D membawakan 'Drag Me Down' untuk album studio kelima mereka nantinya.
Karena sudah sering membawakan lagu-lagu dari tim J's ini, 1D seolah tak perlu berusaha keras untuk menjadikan lagu ini hidup. They got what it takes to deliver the song in its term and conditions. Relevan dengan pergolakan musik yang sudah terjadi dalam diri band, yaitu mendekat ke ranah poprock. Selain itu, 'Drag Me Down' pun mengandung memorabilia berbentuk hook "nobody nobody" yang nyandu. Ga percaya? Hanya dalam sekali dengar saja, hook tersebut pasti bisa langsung lengket di ingatan.
Dan urusan video musik, 1D memang ga pernah pelit soal budget. Beraksi sebagai astronot dalam misi NASA, Niall, Liam, Louis, dan juga Harry mengikuti pelatihan hingga akhirnya diterjunkan ke medannya, tanpa melupakan aspek performance-nya juga. Sejak dirilis pada 20 Agustus lalu, hingga akhir September ini, video musiknya sudah ditonton sebanyak lebih dari 100 juta view. Mengejutkan? Sama sekali enggak. Angka yang membludak itu sudah barang tentu jatah wajib bagi boyband no.1 ini.
LYRIC
[Harry:]
I've got fire for a heart
I'm not scared of the dark
You've never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul
And baby you're a boat
Baby you're my only reason
[Louis:]
If I didn't have you there would be nothing left
The shell of a man who could never be his best
If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun
You taught me how to be someone, yeah
[Liam:]
All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
[Niall:]
All my life
You stood by me
When no one else was ever behind me
All these lights
They can't blind me
With your love, nobody can drag me down
[Chorus:]
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
[Niall:]
I got fire for a heart
I'm not scared of the dark
You've never seen it look so easy
I got a river for a soul
And baby you're a boat
Baby you're my only reason
