During the bootcamp rounds of "The X Factor" (2004) in 2010, Malik was noted for disappearing during the dance routine as he felt nervous and uncomfortable about dancing in front of people, as he said he "can't dance". Simon Cowell found him sitting backstage and convinced him to participate anyway because if he didn't he'd be ruining the opportunity for himself. Returning to the dance routine proved to be a good move as he was later put into boy band One Direction.

The decision to put the five boys in the group proved to be popular as they made it to The X Factor final and were the only band to be included on the 2011 X Factor Tour.
