The 27-year-old singer recently explained how he transitioned from being surrounded by your band mates to being a solo artist.
“It took some getting used to. One Direction such a well working thing…As you spend time on your own, you find new people you get on with and develop those relationships,” Louis told Glamour.
He continued, “It took me a kind of second to understand that I was on my own now and my identity for so long was part of a collective and you obviously still have an individual identity within that. So I think it took me a second to realize I can be a bit of a chav again and just be me and not have to worry about anything else.”
The 27-year-old singer explained that his song “We Made It” started out being about touring but transitioned into a song about dating Eleanor while he was in One Direction.
“Oh my, I remember those nights / Meet you at your uni’, cheap drinks / Drink ‘em all night / Staying out ’til sunrise / Share a single bed and tell each other what we dream about,” Louis sings on the track.
“It’s kind of about two things because we started out with just the title and what it meant to me in that moment was me picturing our first show of the tour and all the hard work it took me to get there and with the fans, it’s a collective, we made it here together, and that’s how the song started out,†he Pedestrian.
Louis continued, “And then in the verse you have to add a bit more of a story so we’re talking about me going to visit my girlfriend at the university halls while I was on tour with the boys, so I was going off that dynamic.â€
“I’m going to have a bit of a Christmas in L.A. with my boy, and then I’m going to go back up to Doncaster, where I’m from, and spend it with my grandparents, my sisters, my brother. It’ll be nice,” Louis told Z100.
As for holiday traditions, Louis and his fam have a food they eat each year!
“Pigs in blankets! We have them on Christmas day. Very good!” Louis explained.
We hope Louis enjoys his well-deserved break with his family!
