One Direction have no plans to split up, and are writing new music.
The 'Story of My Life' hitmakers - who released their latest album 'Midnight Memories' late last year - have already started work on their fourth record and Liam Payne has insisted they won't be breaking up for a very long time.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he said: "We have been writing away for the next album and rehearsals are just about to start soon for the tour. We're not splitting up.
"We're on WhatsApp messaging each other all the time, talking about song ideas and just funny stuff from our day.
"It's been a while since we have all been together so we are enjoying being back in each other's company."
His band mate Harry Styles also claimed the group - completed by Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan - don't intend to call it quits, even if their career keeps them away from home for a long time.
He added: "We're not breaking up. We've spent every day together for months and forgot what my mum looked like. It's just holidays."

Tinie Tempah wants to move to Australia and change his name to Gilbert.
The rapper doesn't enjoy being hassled in public, and thinks a change of surroundings, along with a new moniker, could help him become somewhat anonymous instead of being so famous in the UK.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "Australia is my getaway place. One day I think I'll start my life again over there and call myself Gilbert or something.
"The problem here is I get treated differently now because I am famous. Saying that, I do walk into Tesco sometimes!"
The 'Pass Out' hitmaker insisted it's difficult going out in public, claiming he can't even head to the cinema without people "acting strange" if they spot him.
He said: "I am not able to move about in London. I don't want anyone taking pictures of me eating.
"Sometimes you call your mates up and say, 'Let's go to the cinema', but then the minute you go everyone's acting strange.
"When you get back to your reality you think, 'F**k - maybe we shouldn't have done it like this.' "

Jared Leto may gain 50lbs for his next role.
The actor and singer lost 30lbs to play the party of transsexual prostitute Rayon in 'Dallas Buyer's Club', but says his next move could be in the complete opposite direction.
He told People magazine: "Maybe I'll play a bodybuilder and gian 50lbs of muscle."
The star and his brother Shannon - who is his bandmate in 30 Seconds to Mars - put their success down to determination and also thank their mother, Constance, for always encouraging them.
Shannon said of their youth: "We were really poor, but had paint, canvases and bongos instead of G.I. Joes (action figures)."
Jared added: "Creativity was a salvation. We had a hippie mom who encouraged us to pursue our dreams."
The 42-year-old actor is up for Best Supporting Actor for his role in 'Dallas Buyer's Club' at the Oscars on March 2, and says is walking on air to have the nomination.
He added: "I wish I could stay nominated forever. Then no-one has to lose and we all get to celebrate."

Snoop Dogg wants old enemies to respect him as a musician.
The 42-year-old star - who is due to appear in Los Angeles as an accessory for murder next month - insists he is focusing on his career and wants those around him to recognise him for his talent, and not dwell on his past.
Quizzed on whether people from his past want to settle scores, he told the NME: "A lot of them dwell on that s**t. But a lot of them just say 'F**k it, he's doing music now, he's rocking the world. So we gonna respect him as a musician first.' And if gang members can do it, the media should be able to do it. And the white Americans should be to do it too."
Snoop insists his music is an "art" and isn't made to "preach", unlike literature and books.
He added: "Some songs are just made to party to. Some songs are just made to sit down and listen and see what the f**k I'm saying. But not every song is made that way, because I'm not a political person at all. I wouldn't make no record for mo'f***ers to study. But music is an art, it's made to enhance mo'f***ers with. It ain't made to preach - that's literature, books and s**t like that."

Ellen DeGeneres believes animals are "the closest things to God".
The talk show host - who is married to Portia de Rossi - was planning to become a veterinarian before embarking on her TV career, and says animals provided her with some important lessons when growing up.
She said: "The compassion I have for animals comes from my earliest memories. The first bird I saved was a mockingbird when I was around seven years. It had fallen out of its nest and I took it home and it grew up to be a full, grown-up mockingbird. I took it back to that same tree and released it."
In 1997, Ellen's hit sit-com 'Ellen' was cancelled and she admits she was left feeling "low" - until she had another encounter with a mockingbird and it helped give her the strength to carry on.
She recalled to People magazine: "When I was at a low after the show was cancelled, there was a hummingbird in a fountain that was almost dead. I just put my hand in to take it out, and saw it was alive. So I held it to the sun, and it started drying its wings. Then it flew straight up. It was like a metaphor. It had been one of those days for me. Just when you think you should give up, there's a hand that comes and gets you and goes, 'Nope, you're going to be O.K."

Minnie Driver eats breakfast at dinnertime.
The 44-year-old actress is a single mother to five-year-old son Henry and amuses him by turning their day around and eating what would normally be their first meal of the day in the evening.
She said: "One of my favourite new things to do with him is to have breakfast for dinner. Henry thinks it's hilarious, almost like turning the world on its axis, having pancakes and eggs and bacon at dinnertime. It feels good being in a kid's world."
Minnie plays a single mother in new TV series 'About a Boy' and drew from her maternal instincts for her character.
She added: "She's neurotic, broken and trying to find out who she is. Plus, she loves her son. That's our greatest thing in common."
Minnie was not together with Henry's father, Timothy J. Lea, when he was born, and although she loves dating, she's hesitant to introduce anybody to her boy.
She added: "I love dating, I just don't have much time for it. No one meets Henry until very late in the game."

Juno Temple is terrified of "losing her mind".
The 24-year-old actress portrays a shy girl undergoing a nervous breakdown in 'Magic Magic' and admits the harrowing subject matter took its toll.
She said: "One of my biggest fears, one of the scariest thoughts anyone can have, is the idea of losing your mind. To look in the mirror and say, 'I don't know who that is.'
"I've never gone there before as an actress, and it was a head-f**k to play a character unwinding to such extremes for that amount of time.
"I didn't sleep much during the shoot. I've gone four or five nights on two or three hours sleep before, and I've had to deal with anxiety countless times, and it can get so you can't do anything else because your anxiety is so overwhelming. That helped me relate to the character, but it was a trip. [Director] Sebastian [Silva] had to say to me, 'We're making a movie, you need to relax.' "
To counteract the dark material, Juno and her co-stars tried to have as much "fun" as possible when they weren't filming.
She told I-D magazine: "We just had a lot of fun in the evening time. Michael Cera and Emily Browning are long-term friends of mine, so we would just go for it after the shoot wrapped for the day.
"You have to make sacrifices in this job. But f**k, when it's fun, you know, it's so, so much fun."

Mark Wright would go back to 'The Only way Is Essex' - if it was going to end.
The 27-year-old star - who is engaged to Michelle Keegan - quit the programme in October 2011, and though he would never go back permanently, he would rejoin his former castmates for a special farewell.
Asked if he would go back to the show, he said: "Once I go forward, I tend not to look back, so probably not. If it was going to end then maybe, yes."
Mark is now focused on his presenting career and hopes one day to land a primetime series.
He said: "I want to be a presenter. And be as good as Dermot O'Leary or Ant and Dec.
"At 30 I'd like to see myself married, looking to have children and still having an amazing relationship with ITV and presenting Saturday night TV."
Mark can next be seen on ITV2 show 'Party Wright Around the World', which sees him throw parties in various locations and he loved filming the programme, though he found it tough being away from his fiancee.
He told Britain's OK! magazine: "It was the best experience ever. I was away for three weeks each time and then I'd come home for a week, over about three or four months.
"I would do it again, but being away from Michelle was very hard. We were FaceTiming all the time."

Ashley Green celebrated her 27th birthday with Kellan Lutz and her boyfriend Paul Khoury.
The 'Twilight Saga' star hit the town a day early for the occasion with a few of her close friends, including her former co-star, and partied at DBA in West Hollywood on Thursday night (20.02.14).
A source told E! News: "Ashley came with her boyfriend, Paul. You could tell they really like each other. It's cute."
The brunette beauty also seemed happy to catch up with Kellan, who was recently linked to Miley Cyrus.
The insider said: "It was really fun! Kellan and Ashley are really good friends, and since they hadn't seen each other in a long time they finally had a chance to catch up. They sat together talking for quite some time."
The 'Legend of Hercules' star, 28, was spotted flirting with a few girls at the performance art club, after arriving with two male friends.
The source said: "At one point Kellan lifted one of the girls over to his table to dance with him."
An insider previously revealed that Kellan's brief romance with the 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker, 21, "fizzled out" last month.
The friend dismissed their relationship as merely a "quick fling" and explained it "just kind of burned out."

Tori Spelling reportedly isn't sure whether she can save her marriage.
The former 'Beverly Hills 90201' star was left devastated when her husband, Dean McDermott, checked into rehab last month to address some personal issues, after he was accused of having affairs with multiple women, but she is "of two minds" about whether to file for divorce.
A source told UsMagazine.com: "Tori keeps waffling. Even if they reconcile, it's going to be hard to trust him."
But the blonde actress, 40, is expected to eventually forgive Dean, 47, for the sake of their four children, Liam, six, Stella, five, Hattie, two, and 17-month-old Finn.
Another insider explained: "Tori doesn't want her kids to grow up without their dad in the house."
Tori's mother Candy Spelling has urged her to forgive Dean.
A friend recently said: "Candy certainly is not a big fan of Dean at the moment, because of the hell he has put her daughter through. But she does recognise that he is a great father and he does love Tori. Tori finally confided with her mom, about her ultimate fear that Dean could cheat on her again in the future. It was a very open and honest conversation. At the end of it, Candy told her daughter, 'You will never know unless you try.'
"Since Dean did decide to get help, Candy thought that he at least deserved a another chance."

Justin Bieber helped his mother record her first song.
The 'Heartbreaker' hitmaker spent some quality time with Pattie Mallette, whom he had allegedly been avoiding after being arrested in Miami last month, in a recording studio in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday night (20.02.14), after writing her some lyrics.
The 37-year-old author was clearly thrilled to have a chance to bond with her famous son, as she wrote on Twitter: "That was the BEST night of my life @justinbieber you were SO sweet to me & I had so much fun #ILoveYou."
She later added: "Amazing night recording my first song. Thank you so much for writing it love!"
The 19-year-old star also shared a picture of Pattie in the studio on Instagram, with the caption: "Got my moms courage enough to get in the booth for the first time she sounds so good. (sic)"
He later posted a snapshot of the two of them hugging and wrote: "What did I do mom, love you."
Friends recently revealed that Pattie was "genuinely concerned" for Justin's welfare but is determined to stand by the troubled star, despite his recent behaviour - including being arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), driving with an expired license and resisting arrest.
The insider said: "As any caring mother would be, Pattie is genuinely concerned for Justin, and she has said in many interviews before that she doesn't have her head in the clouds and keeps in very close touch.
"She talks with him almost every day, which is likely more than any mom and a 19-year-old son ... and she is in the public eye dealing with all of this."

Jennifer Aniston has no plans to get married soon.
The 'Horrible Bosses' star, who got engaged to Justin Theroux in August 2012, has allegedly put their wedding plans on hold as she is feeling "extremely insecure" about their future together.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com that the actress' decision to celebrate her 45th birthday earlier this month with friends, including Courteney Cox, in Los Angeles instead of flying to see her fiancé, who is working in New York, is "indicative of the status" of their relationship.
The insider said: "Justin asked Jen to come to New York City but she declined, citing the cold weather. She wanted to be in sunny Southern California with her friends.
"It's absolutely indicative of the status of Jen and Justin's relationship. There is absolutely no wedding talk or planning going on. Publicly the couple is saying it's because they are just too busy with work, but if they wanted to get married, it would happen."
The source added: "The relationship is definitely at an impasse...either it's going to fizzle out, which seems likely, or they get married. Jen is extremely insecure and very needy.... Justin is the opposite, very laid back and low maintenance."
Jennifer, who was spotted wearing her engagement ring and a necklace with the letter 'T' for Theroux at an event last week, previously admitted she was in no rush to get married.
Last summer, she said: "We just want to do it when it's perfect, and we're not rushed, and no one is rushing from a job or rushing to a job."
