We’ll be chatting away, but we never say, ‘What do you think of this?'” I question whether this might be down to some sense of competition between them, but Horan says my suspicion is incorrect. They all text when it comes out, but beforehand no. Do they send tracks to one another for feedback? “It’s weird.
