One Direction will release a cover of Blondie's 1978 single "One Way Or Another," NME reports.

The British boy band recorded the single to raise money for charity Comic Relief's 2013 campaign and are due to perform the song on the BBC's Red Nose Day telethon on March 31.

"It's such an honour for us," band member Harry Styles said. "We can't wait to perform our version of this iconic pop song and raise as much money as possible for this incredibly important cause that is really close to our hearts."

The quintet are also working on a 3D concert film that is being directed by Super Size Me filmmaker Morgan Spurlock. The yet-to-be-titled feature is due in cinemas late next summer.

One Direction is going to record two unreleased songs by singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. The 21-year-old told British newspaper The Daily Star that he'll join the British-Irish boy band in the studio later this summer to record two songs he wrote when he was a teeanger.

"I wrote a couple of songs when I was 17 that One Direction want for their next album," he said. "I'm going into the studio in August to produce the tracks for them."

"I won't feature on the tracks though," he added. "There's definitely a divide in genre."

Sheeran, who's debut album entered the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart at number five, also said that he doesn't yet feel like he's crossed over in the United States yet.

"I think when I’ve sold a million records over there I can say that. At the moment I’ve sold 40,000 in a week," he said.
