The One Direction lads are hard at work both writing and recording brand new material, but managed to take time out earlier today (July 13) to let their fans know how it's been going.

Member Niall Horan told his 4.8 million followers that not only are the songs sounding great, but there's also a "chilled vibe" amongst the guys:

"Alot of laughs in studio today! Good songs. Wrote some nice songs today! @Louis_Tomlinson in the booth recording as we speak! ‪#soundingGreat. Studio times!love it! Good songs,chilled vibe!"

Recently, Justin Bieber revealed that he'd love to recruit the 'One Thing' hitmakers for a celebrity football match and upon finding out about this, Louis Tomlinson tweeted:

"Just heard about the @justinbieber football team thing. Haha let's do it!!"
