Harry Styles' mother provided him with an idea to participate in the show X Factor, and in 2010, Harry Styles auditioned for the competition-based show. Harry took the stage, and after an introduction and some humorous banter with Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, and Cheryl Cole, a confident sixteen-year-old Styles sang "Hey Soul Sister" by Train.
The future One Direction sensation looked confident ... but Simon Cowell believed that the track was not right for him ... leading Styles to then cover Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely.”
Harry was initially selected for X Factor's "boot camp," but to his dismay, he didn't make it to the next round. That rejection was the most decisive moment of his life, but he didn't realize it back then.
The Creation Of One Direction
It wasn't just Harry Styles who faced rejection on X Factor ... Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson also received disapproving nods from mentor Simon Cowell. They practiced together for two weeks on X Factor and forged a strong bond, ultimately deciding to form a band.
The name "One Direction" was Harry Styles' suggestion, and as you may have guessed, all other members of the new band concurred. Cowell summoned them once again on X Factor, where the group showed their talent to the world, and ranked in third place.

Five boy band heartthrobs with demonstrable singing skills began gaining the attention of young people, and Cowell’s label Syco Records signed them to a recording contract.
One Direction produced "What Makes You Beautiful," their first song to become the UK's number one debut single, and success was knocking on the door for Harry Styles and his bandmates. In 2011, One Direction released their first album (with three songs) and it went on to sell 4.5 million copies.
Later, One Direction would become huge, create four more albums, and sell more than 70 million records worldwide. The boy band went on a hiatus in 2015, and never reunited for a subsequent album.
