“What Makes You Beautiful” is One Direction’s debut single, released from their first album Up All Night. Lyrically, the song is about a boy trying to boost his partners' self-esteem by proclaiming his love to them. According to Savan Kotecha, who helped write the song, says it was written for his wife. A music video was released on August 19, 2011, almost a month before the song was released as a single. The track also features a B-side, “Na Na Na”, which was also included on some special editions of Up All Night.
