Now, that reality might not be as far away as it once seemed.

Ranking August Moon songs based on how close they are to One Direction

On The Idea of You's companion album, the film's star Nicholas Galitzine sings, "I think I need a new direction lately," a sly reference to the boy band One Direction.
