"I Want to Write You a Song" is a song from One Direction's fifth studio album, Made in the A.M., which was the second fastest-selling album of 2015 in the UK! Learn how to play it on piano using this tutorial!

Let's take a dive into the minds of the writers of this track. They have a goal--to write a song for their lovers. They sit with pens, paper, tea (because they're British) and bang their heads against the wall trying to find that perfect track. 

One of them comes to the conclusion that they suck, and sarcastically recommends they simply write a song about their experience of "wanting" to write a song. They have a nice chuckle or two, but then have a sudden realization that they are ridiculously famous, and anything they write will be a commercial success. 

So they put their minds together and wrote "I Want to Write You a Song".
Just to clarify, 1D failed at completing their goal. Also, 90% of the story written isn't true.

Our tutorials allow you to learn songs with a variety of functions - you can change the speed, focus on individual hands, transpose the song to different keys, you will get help with finger positions and the sustain pedal, and much more!

You can use all these features in our web player, and in our Apps (for both phones and tablets)!
