One Direction song Fool’s Gold almost recorded by Adele

Songwriters Jamie Scott and Mozella have revealed that the One Direction track “Fool’s Gold” was nearly recorded by Adele. According to the new book “A Whole Lotta History” by Jason Lipshutz, Adele expressed strong interest in the song after hearing it.

Scott and Mozella described the track as a sincere and raw composition created during a productive studio session. Although Adele reportedly contacted Scott to say she loved the song, the writers could not fulfill her request because they had already promised the track to One Direction.

“Fool’s Gold” was ultimately included on the group’s 2014 album “Four”, which reached number one on the charts in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Niall Horan has recently cited the track as one of the most underrated songs in the band’s discography.
