One Direction's album announcement is music to our ears!

The boy band revealed Monday that its new album, Four, will drop Nov. 17 via Syco/Columbia Records. "We've worked incredibly hard writing and recording it whilst we've been on the road and we couldn't have done it without your support," Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson said in a statement. A new song, "Fireproof," is available for free—but only for 24 hours.

"Fireproof" was written by Payne and Tomlinson, plus Julian Bunett, John Ryan and Jamie Scott.

"We hope you enjoy it and we can't wait for you to listen to the album in full," the band said.

"We've been working so hard on this," Payne tweeted. "So glad we can share it with you!!!" Similarly, Tomlinson told his Twitter followers, "Can't believe we are releasing our 4th album already, couldn't do it without our fans!"

Four follows 2013's Midnight Memories, 2012's Take Me Home and 2011's Up All Night.

One Direction's Where We Are Tour runs through October. A concert film hits theaters Oct. 11-12.
