UK heartthrobs One Direction have opened up about their forthcoming new studio album, 'Take Me Home', and admitted the lyrical content is "more meaningful" than their debut release.

The lads are due to unveil their sophomore record on November 12 and member Liam Payne told Australia's Sunday Night that they wanted to showcase their maturity and growth as a band by writing more emotionally 'in touch' songs:

"I think the songs on this album are a bit more meaningful than the last album and I think that's the main difference really. It's a bit more live, and we wrote a lot of them as well, so that was good news. I just think because of how much touring we've done our voices have got much better."

Irish singer Niall Horan added: "We wanted the music to grow with us as we're growing up. But there's nothing really drastic, because it's only been a year since we made the last album."
