Released by Sony Music Indonesia
Boyband asal Britania-Irlandia, One Direction, merilis single pertama mereka “What Makes You Beautiful” dalam bentuk digital single pada tanggal 9 September 2011 melalui Syco Records. One Direction terdiri oleh Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles dan Zayn Malik. Tadinya, Niall, Liam, Louis, Harry dan Zayn mengikuti audisi The X Factor di United Kingdom, tetapi mereka gagal untuk masuk Boys category. Namun salah satu juri, Nicole Scherzinger mengusulkan agar mereka digabungkan dalam suatu band untuk Groups category, dan lahirlah One Direction.
“What Makes You Beautiful” ditulis oleh Carl Frank dan Rami Yacoub, makanya lagu ini tipikal dengan debut single Britney Spears “...Baby One More Time” yang sangat kental dengan bubblegum-pop, sedangkan Savan Kotecha kebagian untuk memproduseri lagu ini. Tempo yang diberikan adalah tipikal bubblegum-pop yang identik dengan para remaja. Ketika mendengarkan “What Makes You Beautiful” akan mengingatkan dengan pop murni pertengahan tahun 1990-an sampai awal 2000-an.
Selain dirilis dalam bentuk digital single, “What Makes You Beautiful” juga dirilis dalam bentuk CD single, yang dirilis oleh Syco Records pada tanggal 12 September 2011 di United Kingdom dan Irlandia. Sepertinya The Wanted akan memiliki saingan chart battle khususnya di United Kingdom. Deja vu? Mengingatkan seperti Westlife versus Five, Spice Girls versus All Saints atau seperti di United States pada saat Britney Spears versus Christina Aguilera. Pop battle adalah sesuatu yang sangat menarik dan sensasional, karena setiap pihak akan memiliki pendukung masing-masing.
Khabarnya, One Direction akan segera merilis album studio pertama mereka pada musim gugur mendatang, seperti apa ya albumnya? Semoga saja akan memberikan nuansa pop yang kental, seperti masa-masa dimana pop masih murni dan seksi, tidak terlalu banyak campuran electro dan trance seperti kebanyakan music disaat ini.

LYRIC
You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
But that's what makes you beautiful
So c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
I don't why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
But that's what makes you beautiful
[Bridge]
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Nana Nana Nana Nana
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
[Chorus]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
But that's what makes you beautiful
