Earlier this year, One Direction dropped their forthcoming album's debut single "Drag Me Down" that got the nod of approval from former member Zayn Malik and smashed the Spotify record for most plays in one day. The foursome then dropped the album's next single "Infinity," but today they arrive with the album's latest effort "Perfect."

Co-written by members Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, the song has sparked a ton of rumors that its chorus is all about Taylor Swift. If you don't remember, Styles is Swift's ex-boyfriend and very famously inspired some most all of her chart-dominating album 1989. Songs like "Styles" and "Wildest Dreams" obviously reference the relationship and many fans are speculating "Perfect" is Harry's answer to "Wildest Dreams" as he sings in the chorus "And if you like midnight driving with the windows down/And if you like going places we can't even pronounce/If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about/Baby, you're perfect." There is also the blatant line in the bridge "And if you're looking for someone to write your breakup songs about/Baby, I'm perfect/Baby, we're perfect." Listen to "Perfect" below. One Direction's new album Made In The A.M. is out Nov. 13.
