<P> After being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of The X Factor in 2010, they first formed as solo singers but soon got placed as a band on 23 July 2010 One Direction were signed to Syco Music, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment . "What Makes You Beautiful" was written by Savan Kotecha and Carl Falk, and was produced by Yacoub and Falk . Instrumentation was completed by Falk and Yacoub . Serban Ghenea handled the audio mixing, Tom Coyne the audio mastering, and John Hanes the mix engineering, for which Phil Seaford served as the assistant . Discussing the song's conception, Kotecha said: </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> "</Td> <Td> I had the melody of the chorus in my song for about a year until I was in a hotel room in London with my wife and she was having a bad morning . She was like, "Oh, I feel so ugly" and I was like, "No, you look beautiful . You don't know how beautiful you look ." And I was like, "Oh, crap! That's a good song! Hold on!" And I wrote that down . I actually wrote the song for my wife, so I went to the studio and it took a process of a couple weeks to really tweak it, but the core of it was written within two days and then tweaked a few things here and there over a couple weeks, but I mean, I still have the text message from Harry (Styles). When he heard the demo, I was in Miami on my way back to Sweden, and he sent me a text message saying, "I think you got it . I think you got the one here ." </Td> <Td>" </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Td> "</Td> <Td> I had the melody of the chorus in my song for about a year until I was in a hotel room in London with my wife and she was having a bad morning .

Band member Liam Payne called the song "perfect", and Harry Styles said, "When we were recording in the studio we knew instantly that we wanted this track to be our first single ." Styles spoke to MTV News, "I think for us we wanted to release something that wasn't cheesy but it was fun . It kind of represented us, I think it took us a while to find it but I think we found the right song ." Payne added, "We always wanted (the single) to be something that people didn't expect and then when we heard it, it wasn't what we expected either so it kind of fitted perfectly ." </P>
