One Direction are now being called out for plagiarism - not for the first time - by none other than huge DJ and producer Zedd.

The Russian-German musician has made highlights of a slew of similarities between his track 'True Colours (Empire State Building)' and the group's new hit single 'Drag Me Down'.
Though it looks to be a huge statement, the main resemblance is apparent on the melody for the lyrics "all my life", which is slower in Zedd's track to One Direction's, but very similar.
Aside from posting the video above with an upset emoji face to his Twitter account, the musician hasn't made any further comments on the controversy.
2014 One Direction hit 'Steal My Girl' was at the centre of a plagiarism crisis when it was found it sounded similar to New Found Glory's 'It's Not Your Fault'.
Band member Chad Gilbert tweeted at the time:
And before that back in 2013, the group were accused of ripping off The Who's 'Baba O'Riley' on their song 'Best Song Ever'.
However Pete Townshend defended the boyband, stating: "I like the single. I like One Direction. The chords I used and the chords they used are the same three chords we've all been using in basic pop music since Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry made it clear that fancy chords don't mean great music - not always."
Meanwhile, 1D recently announced their plans to split for an extended break in March next year so they can pursue solo projects. The foursome promised fans it doesn't mean they're splitting permanently.
