It was a mundane July 23 when Simon Cowell figured that forming a boy group composed of 5 then-regular yet extraordinary contestants from different areas of Europe: the One Direction.

The 5-piece boyband―composed of former member Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson―went on to break records and become a phenomenon that has been comparable to The Beatles (as said in “One Direction: This Is Us”).

On this day, 10 years ago, One Direction was founded. The date also triggered fans to be extremely nostalgic over the iconic band that made their teenage years.
