In a clip from All Of Those Voices, he talks about his songwriting credits across 1D's five studio albums and revealed that he has the most out of all of the former members.

"It had always been in my mind that it'd be cool if we weren't just the standard boy band that just got given songs and just sang them," Louis said in the teaser, "maybe we should be writing our own songs."

In the 'First Look' video posted to his YouTube, Louis spoke about how songwriting became a way for him to gain autonomy in his music career.

"I realised that we might be able to make a few of our own decisions, and that was the first moment in my One Direction career that I felt ownership in what we were doing," the musician said.

He revealed that he felt empowered once he began writing for the band, candidly saying: "All of a sudden I felt in control again. The first two and half years, I just felt like I wasn't in control of myself or certainly had an influence on the band.”

Louis spoke about his sense of pride for everything 1D achieved, both as a group and individually, he said: "When I think about how proud I am of One Direction I think of us as a collective."

All Of Those Voices will be released to cinemas worldwide on March 22, Louis attended a premiere for the flick in Tokyo which gave fans their first viewing of the personal project.
