The tweet is confirmed by a new bio for the band, which identifies them as a four-piece and adds the line: "In April 2015 the band started working on their 5th studio album set to be released later in the year."

To go with that new bio the lads got a new press photo, sans Zayn. Payne's tweets, sent approximately two hours apart, indicate his enthusiasm for the writing session and serve as a boon to Directioners everywhere, who weren't quite sure they believed in a four-member 1D.
