Drag Me Down" is a song recorded by English-Irish boy band One Direction as the lead single for their fifth studio album, Made in the A.M. (2015).[4] The song was released worldwide on 31 July 2015 and was the band's first single since Zayn Malik's departure earlier that same year. "Drag Me Down" debuted atop the charts in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Austria, Australia, and New Zealand. It became the group's first number-one single in France and Australia, as well as their fourth number-one in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. It debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won the fan-voted 'Best Video Award' at the 2016 Brit Awards.[5]

"Drag Me Down" marked One Direction's first single since Zayn Malik's departure in March 2015.[6] The announcement of the release, with no previous promotion or marketing, was done by Liam Payne on his Twitter handle, followed by the rest of the members on 31 July 2015.[1]


"Drag Me Down" is a midtempo pop rock track written by Jamie Scott, Julian Bunetta and John Ryan, who wrote and produced several songs on One Direction's previous two albums Midnight Memories (2013) and Four (2014).[7] According to Los Angeles Times's editor Mikael Wood, the production contains springy guitars that recall The Police or "Rude" by Magic!.[2][8] The song is written in C minor with a tempo of 138 beats per minute. It was composed in England.[9]


The video for "Drag Me Down" was directed by Ben and Gabe Turner and filmed at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas and premiered on Vevo alongside the song. The video includes the band being put through their paces as though they are astronauts preparing for a space mission.[19] It won the fan-voted 'Best Video Award' at the 2016 Brit Awards[20] and as of 9 May 2022, it has been viewed over 1 billion times on YouTube.


One Direction gave their first performance of the song on their On the Road Again Tour in Indianapolis on 31 July 2015 until the end of their concert tour. The song was then performed live as part of a series of free summer concerts in New York City for Good Morning America on 4 August 2015.[21] The band also performed the song on several television programmes including The Ellen DeGeneres Show,[22] The Jonathan Ross Show[23] and Alan Carr: Chatty Man.[24]


A cover of the song by the Finnish-American hard rock band Santa Cruz plays in "Best Friends, For Never", the second episode of the first season of the DC Extended Universe Max series Peacemaker.


"Drag Me Down" sold 349,000 digital copies in the United States and had 17.7 million streams worldwide in its first week of release.[26] It broke the record on Spotify for most streamed track in one day, earning 4.75 million global streams (it has since been surpassed by Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" and "Castle on the Hill" both receiving over 6.18 million global streams).[27][28] The song also debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, the second-highest debut of the year, with 349,000 downloads sold in its first week (making it the group's third number-one hit on the Digital Songs chart and the boy band's best sales week for a song).[29][30]


Furthermore, the song topped the charts in twelve countries, including Austria, Australia, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, New Zealand, Portugal, Scotland, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom.


I can't get this to work either. Very frustrating for something that I purchased. I might as well have just stuck with the photo album that comes with the Ipad. Can't seem to get any help here, especially when you look at the date of the first message. When I "hold" the photo down on the album it never "wobbles". I don't know what people are talking about when they mention a journal. No instructions on that either.


I follow those exact steps because that is the way one would expect it to work. However, after selecting the picture I can't get it to move. More disappointing useless software for me now. May as well just use the original photo software that comes with the ipad.


5) Open iTunes and sync the Vacation folder to your iPad (make sure the folder you had synced previously is not also selected, that way it gets deleted). The pictures will now show up in the order you want, essentially any order that you chose if you copy them in that order. This works for iPhones as well.


Note : When picking photos from yr old album u can save some time if u select several photos if u find them already in the order u want them to be even if u have to skip some in the middle, providing the order is right.


Your instructions work but only on a subset album. Thanks. BTW, to those reading this post, this doesn't work for me in the Camera Roll album. There is no Select All in the Camera Roll, nor People, nor Places. But it will work on other albums that I created.


I Just tried this on my iPad and while the photo didn't shake, it did move. I opened an album and clicked on "select" in the upper right corner. I put my finger on a photo and left it there. When the photo turned dark I was able to move it to where I wanted it. Yeah!

Will it lift me up?

If I prove you wrong

Will it make me right?



Coz I, I need

I need to feel better

If I hurt you will I feel better?

Will I feel better if I pull you down

And I hurt you

Will I feel better?



If I make you lose

Will I win first place?

If I point at you

Will they pass me by?



Coz I, I need

I need to feel better

If I hurt you will I feel better?

Will I feel better if I pull you down

And I hurt you

Will I feel better?



I know I need to be climbing

Ahead and higher

If I pull you down

Will it lift me?

Would I be closer?



If I see you cry

Will it end my pain?

If I make you suffer

Will it shield me from the rain?

If I hurt you will I feel better?

If I pull you down

And I hurt you will I feel better? $(".lyricsText").last().bcTruncate(TruncateProfile.get("tralbum_long"), "more", "less"); credits released March 31, 2021

It's been four years since my last Men in Drag album, but unlike Late Nights, Parades, I won't be using the concept of a Medusa Complex as the hook to get into my review from this all-female group based at the University of Chicago. Or maybe I just did precisely that. (Either way, look up "Medusa Complex" and you'll perhaps understand why I decided not to go down that path.)


Far more important than the title, though, is the music. And across the board, this is an extremely solid effort, showcasing improved cohesiveness and consistency from the group's prior work. There are places to be critical for certain (more on that below), but there isn't a dud to be found here and almost without exception, the arrangements are well-constructed, the singing is passionate and forceful, the blend is seamless, and the post-production work is worthy of what one would expect from award winners like Brianne Holland (a former member of the group and also arranger of 2/3rd of the material covered here), Ed Boyer, and Dave Sperandio.


Particular praise is due to the alto soloists featured here, and even among those, the standout is unquestionably Jordan Miller-Surratt on Number One, Coming Undone, and New Americana. Isabella Martin and Mariana Lepecki deserve kudos of their own, but whether it's matching the riffing of John Legend or the wailing of Halsey, Miller-Surratt is the voice you can't take your ear off of and the one you most look forward to hearing again.


Where the goal may be a less transcriptive, more re-interpretative cover, there is also some murkiness in the artistic choices that hinder the effort being made. This is most noticeable on Big White Room, which, as offered here, feels like it may have been an attempt to de-emphasize the fear and uncertainty and desperation that can be sensed in the original in favor of a more anthemic, empowering re-imagination. And while I'm all for those kinds of re-workings, this one doesn't seem to go far enough in either direction. Sure, the solo is more defiant (bordering on strident) and the arrangement is a bit busier than one would expect, but it doesn't really push the envelope sufficiently to avoid one harkening back to the original and wondering why this version sounds so incongruous.


And so there are groups of people who have the talent to take the power of the human voice and make incredibly remarkable music. One such group is Men in Drag from the University of Chicago, which results in the great album, Medusa Complex.


But then I had the opportunity to hear the album through a different sound system in a rental car and the whole world exploded. Medusa Complex blossomed into a captivating sensory experience. Nuanced and complex, the album laid bare the emotional charge of the pissed-off female voice. With that realization, it took me a while to catch my breath. And whew...
