Don't Forget Where You Belong

One Direction · Midnight Memories [2013]

Been a lot of places.

I've been all around the world.

Seen a lot of faces.

Never knowing where I was.



On the horizon.

Oh, well, I know, I know, I know, I know the sun will be rising

Back home.



Living out of cases,

Packing up and taking off.

Made a lot of changes

But not forgetting who I was.



On the horizon.

Oh, well, I know, I know, I know, I know the moon will be rising

Back home.



Don't forget where you belong–home.

Don't forget where you belong–home.

If you ever feel alone–don't.

You were never on your own.

And the proof is in this song.



I've been away for ages

But I've got everything I need.

I'm flicking through the pages.

I've written in my memory.



I feel like I'm dreaming.

Oh, so I know, I know, I know, I know that I'm never leaving.

No, I won't go.



Don't forget where you belong–home.

Don't forget where you belong–home.

If you ever feel alone–don't.

You were never on your own.

And the proof is in this song.



Lights off when they should be on.

Even stars and skies above

Short days when the nights are long

When I think of the days I'm gone

Don't matter how far I've gone–

I'll always be around.

Oh.



Don't forget where you belong–home.

Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it)–home.

If you ever feel alone–don't.

You were never on your own.

Never, never, never.



Don't forget where you belong–home.

Don't forget where you belong (don't forget it)–home.

If you ever feel alone–don't.

You were never on your own (you were never).

And the proof is in this song.



Home.

Don't forget it.

Home.

If you ever feel alone–don't.

You were never on your own (you were never).

And the proof is in this song.



Never forget it.

This song.

Don't forget it!

No, I never forget it.

This song.

You were never...

Don't Forget Where You Belong

One Direction's 'Don't Forget Where You Belong' stands as a reflective highlight from their 2013 album, Midnight Memories. Released during a period of significant growth for the British-Irish boy band, the track captures the group's evolving sound as they moved beyond their initial pop dominance. The song explores themes of loyalty and the enduring connection between the band members and their fanbase, serving as an emotional anchor within the record. Musically, it blends the band's signature harmonies with a more mature, mid-tempo production style that distinguished their third studio effort. As part of a discography that includes hits like 'What Makes You Beautiful' and 'Little Things,' this recording underscores the group's ability to craft anthems that resonate deeply with listeners. The track remains a testament to their early career trajectory and the strong bond they cultivated with their audience during their rise to global stardom.
