One Direction recorded a song written by Kelly Clarkson for their debut album, Up All Night. But it turns out that she didn’t write the song for them before listening to them first to make sure they would do it justice.

Clarkson was approached by X-Factor U.K.’s Simon Cowell to write a song for the group that was born out of his show. But Clarkson doesn’t just give away her songs. She writes mostly for herself.
.
“Giving away my songs is not something I do lightly … While I wrote the song for me, it didn’t fit in the current album as I never want an album to sound like one thought.”
.
However, she decided to give One Direction a shot at it. You can check out the song “Tell Me a Lie” below, and see if you think they did justice to Clarkson’s creation. Let us know what you think!
