2010年，Niall Horan、Liam Payne、Harry Styles、Louis Tomlinson和Zayn Malik （2015年3月宣布單飛）分別作為獨唱男歌手參加英國選秀節(jié)目《英國偶像》（The X Factor），然而卻都未能成功晉級決賽。失敗的打擊猶如當頭一棒，讓這些花季少年的內(nèi)心開始搖擺。所幸的是，他們并沒有因此而氣餒，而是在評委Nicole的建議下組成樂隊One Direction再度參賽。這一次，他們成功闖進樂隊組決賽，并獲得季軍。2011年，他們憑借一首“What Makes You Beautiful”紅遍全球，成為歐美當紅男團?！癛eady to Run”這首發(fā)行于2014年的單曲正是他們這一路的寫照。他們用輕快的旋律講述著出道四年來的經(jīng)歷和感悟：通往成功的路上總會有諸多不易，不管是人們的質(zhì)疑還是偶爾的迷失，唯有堅持不放棄，才能擁抱燦爛的未來。

其實，在追夢的路上，我們每個人都會碰到坎坷崎嶇，遭遇酷暑隆冬，經(jīng)歷風霜雨雪。我們無法預(yù)見未來，也無法讓人生按照我們想要的方式進行，但只要不忘初心，never look back，時刻ready to run，腳下就一直有路，前方就一直有夢。趁年華未曾老去，趁青春沒有散場，趁我們朝氣蓬勃，讓我們一起準備好出發(fā)，用盡全力奔跑，去到一個更廣闊的天地，只為與更好的自己相遇。

There's a lightning in your eyes I can't deny.

Then there's me inside a sinking boat， running out of time.

Without you I'll never make it out alive.

But I know， yes I know we'll be alright.

There's a devil in your smile that's chasing me.

And every time I turn around it's only gaining speed.

There's a moment when you finally realize

There's no way you can change the rolling tide.

But I know， yes I know that I'll be fine.

This time I'm ready to run，

Escape from the city and follow the sun.

'Cause I wanna be yours.

Don't you wanna be mine？

I don't wanna get lost

In the dark of the night.

This time I'm ready to run.

Wherever you are is the place I belong.

'Cause I wanna be free，

And I wanna be young.

I will never look back.

Now I'm ready to run.

I'm ready to run.

There's a future in my life I can't foresee.

But less of course I stay on course to keep you next to me.

There will always be the kind that criticize.

But I know， yes I know we'll be alright.

（Refrain ）

This time I'm ready to run.

I'd give everything that I got from your love.

（Refrain ）
