"One Direction have revealed that they have had a larger hand in writing their new album. The boyband are expected to release their fourth studio collection later this year after being in various writing sessions throughout 2014.      &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s going to be a little bit more edgy,&amp;quot; Niall Horan told the Today show. &amp;quot;We feel like we&amp;#039;ve got some really good songs.&amp;quot; Liam Payne added: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve all taken a hand in the writing this time. We&amp;#039;ve literally written almost every song.&amp;quot; The new album will serve as the follow-up to 2013&amp;#039;s Midnight Memories, which went straight to number one in the UK and US back in November.  Although it was only on sale for five weeks by the end of 2013, the collection went on to become the year&amp;#039;s biggest-selling album with sales of over 4 million copies. Meanwhile, Payne recently hinted that One Direction have recorded a dance track for their new album, describing it as a &amp;quot;pure banger&amp;quot;.
