I remember it like it was… a decade ago. Zayn Malik announced his departure from the biggest boyband in the world. I didn’t publicly care too much about One Direction in 2015, mostly because I wanted people at my college town’s house shows to think I was cool.

“Night Changes” saw a surge in popularity following the tragic death of One Direction member Liam Payne last year. Per Billboard: “In the week after his death, ‘Night Changes’ — which ran up to No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2014 — saw its US streams spike 416 percent to 4.9 million.”

Zayn Malik sang the classic One Direction song "Night Changes" during a concert in Mexico City on Tuesday, March 25. The artist went solo from the boy band 10 years prior.
