1D sings that they simply don't exist without this head-turning girl, so no one else can have her. Now, as catchy as this song may be (and, oh, is it ever catchy), the sentiment doesn't go down as easy as the beat. Well, the pop group makes it pretty clear that the titular girl in "Steal My Girl" has been "the girl" since the age of 16, that her family is like his family (a collective his, I guess?), and while guys all over the world may be pining over her, that's just too bad for them. So where does 1D rank in the pantheon of "stealing" songs? The fellas of One Direction have now joined the long list of artists who have made songs about stealing, both literally and figurative. and not just the hearts of their fans all over the world! (Listen, no one is sorrier about that joke than I am right now.) One Direction's single "Steal My Girl" has officially dropped, and the song's troublesome lyrics about ownership of a woman ("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") isn't the only crime being committed.
