Rumours were sparked following the tweet that Juicy J could be featuring on the group's fifth studio album, after he wrote alongside the picture: "We working! @fakeliampayne."
Gearing up to release his own fourth solo record titled 'Pure THC: The Hustle Continues', the rapper is to drop the LP later this year whilst One Direction revealed earlier in the month that their next album is already in the works.
A source explained: "There has been a bit of a question about the timing of the fifth album but there was never any doubt it would be released, despite the ridiculous speculation.
"Initially the guys thought they might want more time away from the studio because they've been busy promoting 'Four'. But they've been itching to get back recording again because it's what they love to do, so it's full steam ahead."
The insider went on to say how the five members of the boyband are now to be "in control" of the material included, which is why they've been writing tracks for inclusion themselves.
"It's a formula that's worked before and it's how the lads like to work. The reality is that after nearly five years together they are very much in control of their sound and the process."
