One Direction's "Infinity" is no longer serving as the latest single off their "Made in the A.M." album. The group announced via Twitter on Monday, December 14 that they'd replaced it with another standout, "History".
"Your reaction to #1DHistory has been INCREDIBLE! The guys have decided to change it to the new single from #MadeInTheAM!" the boys wrote. Their post came just a day after they performed both "Infinity" and "History" during the U.K.'s "The X Factor" finale on Sunday.

Written by Julian Bunetta, John Ryan and Jamie Scott, "Infinity" was first released in September as a countdown single preceding the release of One Direction's fifth studio effort. Following last month's announcement that the song would be the group's final single before their lengthy hiatus, some fans expressed their disappointment on Twitter, arguing that there were plenty of other tracks they could pick to follow up hits "Drag Me Down" and "Perfect", which both peaked inside the top 10 of Billboard Hot 100
"History", meanwhile, was co-written by members Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson along with Bunetta, Ryan and Wayne Hector. In addition to last Sunday's "The X Factor", the band has performed the song live on TV during their visits to "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and "The Late Late Show with James Corden".
