The globally successful band that included Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik were first formed on Cowell's reality show, 'The X-Factor', in 2010.

The band’s hit, “Night Changes,” was the sixth most-streamed song worldwide on Spotify the day after Payne’s death.

Before his solo career, Liam Payne was one of 1D's prolific writers. These are some of his best songs from each album, including "Story of My Life."
