Louis Tomlinson opens up about the One Direction hit he ‘never liked’ to perform.

Louis Tomlinson has shared a surprising sentiment regarding his time with One Direction. For fans, it might be a gentle shock to learn that there’s a song he has always found challenging to perform. It’s not the deeply moving “Night Changes” or a lesser-known gem like “I Wish.” Instead, it’s the beloved track “What Makes You Beautiful,” which launched their journey in 2011.

Despite its popularity, Louis admitted during a conversation with Capital that he struggled with this iconic hit. “I’m not sure there’s a single time I performed One Direction’s ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ and enjoyed it,” he reflected, noting it was often a challenge for him.

The Lemonade singer was engaged in a lively Q&A session with fans ahead of the Jingle Bell Ball. He playfully remarked, “The thing is with the irony of this game, like, shredding it, is like I am an open book. I will just give you every answer!”

Louis is set to showcase some of his most cherished tracks—possibly including “What Makes You Beautiful”—on Sunday, December 7, at the O2 for this festive gathering. Joining him will be a delightful array of artists such as Raye, Ed Sheeran, Rizzle Kicks, and the talented Leigh-Anne. On Louis’ performance day, the evening will be headlined by the legendary Kylie Minogue, alongside Alex Warren, Tinie Tempah, and Jessie J.

If you weren’t able to get tickets, there’s a wonderful opportunity to experience the performances through streaming on Global Player or on Hotnchill’s platform.

Recently, Louis has been candid about his One Direction experiences and has hinted at exciting new solo music on the horizon. He expressed his feelings regarding a past incident involving internet personality Logan Paul and Liam Payne, highlighting the importance of responsible journalism. “I think that’s also the problem with some of this new ‘media,'” he shared, emphasizing the need for care in storytelling.

Reflecting on 2022, Louis touched upon a moment when Payne faced scrutiny for comments made during a podcast, stating, “It was definitely a role that was assigned to him. That is the truth.”
