One Direction Members’ Biggest Scandals

Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams shared a series of tweets in 2014 accusing One Direction of plagiarizing a New Found Glory song to create the band’s then-new single, Steal My Girl.

New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert, who was dating Williams, posted the track and his band’s 2006 song It’s Not Your Fault to show the similarities.

The Still Into You hitmaker said: “Beginning of that new 1D song couldn’t sound any more like the beginning of @newfoundglory’s ‘its not your fault’ but I realize that I’m gonna get hate from a very large fanbase for that.

“But really, it has more to do w/ whoever pitched or cowrote the song.”

One Direction faced similar accusations in the past, including Live While We’re Young and Best Song Ever being likened to The Clash’s Should I Stay Or Should I Go and The Who’s Baba O’Riley, respectively.
