Story :One Direction performs "Drag Me Down" LIVE on Good Morning America. Members of One Direction said today that life is “different” with the absence of former member Zayn Malik, but that things are still going “great.” “Obviously, it’s different but, you know, when you lose a member of your team obviously everyone gets a little bit close together,” Liam Payne, 21, said today on “Good Morning America.” "It’s still going great and that’s what this album is about,” Payne said. “We’re still going strong and we’re all still here.” Payne and his bandmates -- Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson -- surprised fans on Friday with the unexpected release of their first single, “Drag Me Down,” from their forthcoming album.
