As promised, One Direction is moving on and leaving the split from bandmember Zayn Malik in the past. The band has unveiled the official name and artwork for their first album as a 4-piece, which will be out on November 13.

It’s called “Made in the A.M.” and it’s now available for pre-order. Fans who pre-order it now will also receive instantly a brand new song from it, completely free of charge, “Infinity.”

“Made in the A.M.” drops on the same day as Justin Bieber’s so-called comeback album, so expect competition to be tough. The leading single from it is “Drag Me Down,” which came out in July, and the album is the first one the boys are releasing after Malik’s quite unexpected departure earlier this year.

Right now, One Direction is on tour, and the 4 members hope that, what with the shows and the new album, fans (One Directioners, as they’re called) will have an easier time coping with their planned hiatus from the music scene.

In March 2016, One Direction will be taking a break from recording and performing, their first in the 5 years since they’ve been active. The boys have promised fans that this isn’t a breakup or a case of them wanting to pursue solo careers.

On a slightly more gossipy note, apparently there’s a theory online about how the title of the new title is a very subtle diss at Zayn Malik, in that the “A.M.” part actually stands for “After Malik.”
