They may be a little lighter on members these days, but the only direction these guys seem to be going is up.

One Direction took to the Good Morning America stage in New York on Tuesday morning in front of thousands of screaming fans.

The now four-piece belted out their new hit, Drag Me Down, on television for the first time proving they are still a force to be reckoned with.

Ladies' men: One Direction took to the Good Morning America stage in New York on Tuesday morning in front of thousands of screaming fans

The sound was deafening as Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson walked on to the stage for the special concert.

Drag Me Down is the band's first single without former member Zayn Malik and is setting their pace as a four-piece with it setting a new Spotify record with more than 4.75 million streams in one day.

1D have only played the single one other time, namely on Friday at their Indianapolis, Indiana, concert.

One Direction performs Drag Me Down for the first time live

New hit: The sound was deafening as Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson (L-R) performed Drag Me Down for the first time on television

Big star: While the performance was meant to be all about the new record setting single, the break out star of the day was Harry's facial expressions

Careful there: The 21-year-old really gave the performance his all throwing himself around stage, at times so violently and awkwardly that he looked like he would fall

Looking like the cohesive unit the group has become known for, the boys also impressed with tracks Steal My Girl and Story Of My Life - which somehow managed to be heard above the squealing girls.

While the performance was meant to be all about the new record setting single, the break out star of the day was Harry's facial expressions.

The heartthrob pulled a myriad of very unusual facial poses through the song, which saw him contort his muscles in such a way that he was lucky the wind did not change as he would have quickly lost his pretty boy status.

Looking good: Harry was stylish in a pair of tight black jeans, black T-shirt and a Seventies-inspired silk jacket with tigers on it

Hair raising: The 21-year-old left his long locks out and curly for the special performance

Use to him: Harry's antics did not seem to worry his other band members especially Liam, who did his best to sing around the star

The 21-year-old really gave the performance his all throwing himself around stage, at times so violently and awkwardly that he looked like he would fall.

If he had, he at least would have looked good doing it as Harry was stylish in a pair of tight black jeans, black T-shirt and a Seventies-inspired silk jacket with tigers on it.

Harry's antics did not seem to worry his other band members especially Liam, who did his best to sing around the star.

Casually cool: Liam went for a lumbersexual hipster look wearing a pair of looser fit black jeans with rips on the knees and a blue flannel shirt

Added extra: The singer also wore a black fedora perched perfectly to show off his gelled pompadour

While those two clowned around on one side of the stage, Niall showed off his musical chops by both singing and playing the guitar.

The 21-year-old stuck to his usual style for the performance wearing a red and grey plaid short sleeve shirt with black trousers and his blonde hair spiked up.

Signature look: The 21-year-old stuck to his usual style for the performance wearing a red and grey plaid short sleeve shirt with black trousers and his blonde hair spiked up

Clearly gel is a valuable commodity in the ID dressing room as Louis also went for a pompadour look complete with curl.

The 23-year-old dressed a bit more simply than his band mates wearing tight black jeans with just a T-shirt featuring a blue print.

Tuesday was a big day for Louis as a hit single is not the only new thing in his life.

Baby news: Tuesday was a big day for Louis as a hit single is not the only new thing in his life, as he also has a baby on the way, something he talked about for the first time on the breakfast show

The star broke his silence about becoming a dad on the show - he is expecting his first child with stylist Briana Jungwirth, the pair are not together.

Host Michael Strahan got him talking after asking: 'Louis, from one father to another I want to congratulate you on your upcoming fatherhood. So how are you feeling?'

Louis replied with a smile: 'Thank you. Obviously it's a very exciting time, so I'm buzzing.'

Really? While that was exciting to the band, they seemed a little less impressed with Raven-Symone

Bemused: While the boys did their best to ham it up with Raven while the cameras rolled, their faces when they did not realise they were being filmed said it all

While that was exciting to the band, they seemed a little less impressed with Raven-Symone.

The View host came on stage wearing a bizarre silver visor over her face.

While the boys did their best to ham it up with Raven while the cameras rolled, their faces when they did not realise they were being filmed said it all.

The foursome were also asked about how it feels to perform without Zayn, who left in March.

Boys on tour: The group also performed their tracks Steal My Girl and Story Of My Life

Speaking for all the singers, Liam said: 'Obviously it's different, but it's still going great, and that's what this album is about.'

Liam was of course talking about the band's hotly anticipated fifth album, which is almost ready for release.

The band are making finishing touches to the LP while they continue their North American tour.

New direction: Drag Me Down is the band's first single without former member Zayn Malik and is setting their pace as a four-piece with it setting a new Spotify record with more than 4.75 million streams in one day.
