And the internet has all but crashed.

But what’s the new single like? And what are fans saying?

Here’s a run down and mini-review, and some fan wisdom to enlighten you:

1. It’s definitely a more mature sound for the band.

Cue crashing guitars, soaring harmonies and killer lyrics (quelle surprise).

2. Harry Styles hits a few high notes in the song and fans just. can’t. cope.

3. Zayn Malik, who?

#Awkward. Soz Zayn, but the fans don’t seem to be missing your dulcet tones.

4. You can take ANY message from the song.

Because it was written for you. YES YOU. #sorrynotsorry

5. Being a 1D fan is like being a proud parent.

6. Harry Styles’ high note in the song is already a hit.

One fan’s already compared him to Isaac Newton. In reply to a Tweet stating that Isaac was, “only 23 when he discovered the law of gravity”, one fan posted:

And then on that high note:

Today is a good day to be a 1D fan.
