One Direction 'Midnight Memories' Track 'Story of My Life' Sneak Peak [LISTEN]: Twitter Contest Leads to 16-Second Clip of New Song

Earlier today (October 21) the One Direction Twitter account announced a new contest for followers to partake in. The prize at the end of the Twitter contest was a special sneak peak clip of One Direction's newest single off of the upcoming album Midnight Memories. Unfortunately the contest didn't go too well, but we still got to hear 16 seconds of "Story of My Life," a song that Niall Horan said is his favorite from the upcoming album!

Check out what the One Direction team wanted followers to do on Twitter today:
