## Critical Reception

ANDPOP writer Evan Ross stated: "I’m more than a little bit obsessed with this song. My heart starts to race as Zayn’s voice kicks off the song and the record, and it just gets better from there. I’ve been humming this insanely catchy tune for days, and it’s the perfect lead single for this album."

## Lyrics

**[Zayn]**

She been my queen

Since we were sixteen

We want the same things,

We dream the same dreams,

Alright, alright

I got it all

'Cause she is the one

Her mom calls me 'love',

Her dad calls me 'son',

Alright, alright

**[Niall]**

I know, I know, I know for sure

**[All]**

Everybody wanna steal my girl

Everybody wanna take her heart away

Couple billion in the whole wide world

Find another one 'cause she belongs to me

Everybody wanna steal my girl

Everybody wanna take her heart away

Couple billion in the whole wide world

Find another one 'cause she belongs to me

Na na na na na na (oh, yeah)

Na na na na na na (alright)

Na na na na na na

**[Harry]**

She belongs to me

**[Liam]**

Kisses like cream,

Her walk is so mean

And every jaw drop

When she's in those jeans,

Alright, alright

**[Louis]**

I don't exist

If I don't have her

The sun doesn't shine,

The world doesn't turn,

Alright, alright

**[Niall]**

But I know, I know, I know for sure

**[All]**

Everybody wanna steal my girl

Everybody wanna take her heart away

Couple billion in the whole wide world

Find another one 'cause she belongs to me

Everybody wanna steal my girl

Everybody wanna take her heart away

Couple billion in the whole wide world

Find another one 'cause she belongs to me

Na na na na na na (oh, yeah)

Na na na na na na (alright)

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na na

**[Harry]**

She knows, she knows

That I've never let her down before

She knows, she knows

That I'm never gonna let another take her love from me now

**[All]**

Everybody wanna steal my girl

Everybody wanna take her heart away

Couple billion in the whole wide world

Find another one 'cause she belongs to me

Everybody wanna steal my girl

Everybody wanna take her heart away

Couple billion in the whole wide world

Find another one 'cause she belongs to me

Na na na na na na (oh, yeah, alright, yeah)

Na na na na na na (alright)
