The Wanted are gearing up for their world tour and new album, pulling out all the necessary stops to get on top. The boy band performed their latest U.K. single, 'Show Me Love,' on 'X Factor U.K.' -- the "birthplace" of rivals One Direction!

The five-piece opened the performance with Nathan Sykes at a piano. He was soon joined by bandmates Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Max George, harmonizing the wistful breakup ballad beautifully. They were flanked by a fiery curtain that framed their all-black ensembles beautifully.

At the conclusion of the performance, which showcased George, McGuiness and especially Sykes' vocals the most, Sykes revealed that he penned the tune himself. We bet he's happy his new lady, Ariana Grande, knows how to show him love!
