A year after their X Factor formation, One Direction were yet to release any music but their fandom was growing everyday. With teenage girls already staying out overnight in the hopes of meeting the boys, maybe they could have released any song as their debut. But they didn鈥檛. What Makes You Beautiful was a near perfect pop song - it was an antidote to the beige ballads crowding the charts at the time, and a calling card to teenage girls all around the world.

WMYB instantly defined One Direction鈥檚 career. In this chapter, hear the story of the woman whose hair flip and insecurities inspired it.

Featuring interviews with song writer and X Factor vocal coach, Savan Kotecha, Radio 1 presenter Matt Edmondson, music journalist Michael Cragg, Radio 1 presenter/Directioner Danni Diston and journalist/Directioner Haajrah Gilani.
