The Janoskians: 'One Direction did steal one of our songs'

YouTube stars The Janoskians have joked that One Direction pinch all of their songs.

The Australian lads had a chat with Independent.ie recently and joked that the internationally renowned boyband saw lyrics of theirs that they liked, so grabbed the paper they were written on and ran off with it only to release 'What Makes You Beautiful' shortly after:

"We came out with 'Best Friends' and they came out with 'Best Song Ever'. They did steal 'What Makes You Beautiful'... they changed the words a bit. It was the first time we ever hung out with One Direction and we were just chilling. Our lyrics were all up on our tables and they came in the room and took it, and ran out... "we're taking your song"..."

'What Makes You Beautiful', One Direction's smash hit single, was written by Savan Kotecha and he exclusively told Pressparty back in 2012 that he penned the track for his wife:

"I was in Sweden with my wife who's about to have our first child when my phone started blowing up with texts telling me we won! It was even more special because the song was written for my wife. So sitting there feeling our first baby move and finding out a song for her won Best Single was great!"
