The video for Kodaline's newest single Love Will Set You Free has finally dropped, and the Swords lads have come a long way.

Not only was the song itself co-written by Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid, but the video was the mastermind of his partner, actress Courteney Cox.

"When Johnny first played me Love Will Set You Free, I was blown away. The song is incredibly beautiful," Courteney tells PEOPLE magazine. "After hanging out with the guys and getting to know their personalities, I knew I wanted to direct this video and really showcase who they are as individuals and as musicians." 

The video was shot on the grounds of Courtney's Malibu home, and also features a few cameos from Johnny.

Stealing the show though, is Court's 11-year-old daughter Coco, who welcomes the lads to the house dressed in a fetching cow print onesie:

And just LOOK at the inside of Courteney's gaff:

Irish fans might spot some other familiar faces, among them former Two Tube presenter Diana Bunici, who is dating Kodaline's frontman Steve Garrigan.

"Basically it was just us hangin' out," Steve tells the magazine. "We flew over some of our friends from Dublin and had a few beers and hung out and were messin' about." 

And anyone who attended Ed Sheeran's recent Croke Park gig will recognise Etaoin Corr, who was proposed to on stage by her long-term boyfriend, Kodaline bassist Jason Boland.

Kodaline first sparked rumours of a collaboration with Courteney and Johnny earlier this year when they were pictured hanging out with the couple in LA. 

"When we first went up [to the house], we were quite nervous because she's Courteney Cox: We're Friends fans. We have the box sets at home, you know?" Steve admits.

"But Courteney's an incredible person. You go there, and she just makes everybody feel at home. There's no airs or graces about her. She's just a nice person." 

The video was shot back in May, and though it's currently available to view exclusively on PEOPLE's website, it should get its official launch later this week.

Ed Sheeran played to almost 80,000 people two nights in a row in Croke Park, but last night it was Jay from Kodaline that stole the show. 

The first night of the sold out gig saw at least on proposal in the audience, but quite possibly even more. 

Kodaline were playing with the English singing sensation and as they finished up a song, another band member turned to him and said "Jason, you've something to say?".

Jay then proposed to his long-term girlfriend Etaoin Corr, who is a music publicist living in London. 

Needless to say, the crowd went absolutely wild. 

Last night was the second night Kodaline played with Ed Sheeran, and Glen Hansard, front-man of the Frames even made an appearance.

Kodaline have confirmed what we’ve been waiting to find out all these years: Courteney Cox and Monica Geller-Bing are pretty much the same person.

The band made the revelation having spent some quality time with Ms Cox – who is also the director of their Love Will Set You Free music video.

The song was written with Snow Patrol member Johnny McQuaid, Courteney's fiance and boyfriend-of-a-year (Ed Sheeran introduced them).

Steve Gerrigan, who plays guitar with Kodaline, admitted: “There was this one time where she was cooked steaks for us all and she’s just really particular about everything, slight OCD – she’s very like the character.”

The band members joked that they found it pretty hard not to start singing the famous show's theme song when the opportunity arose.

And the novelty didn’t wear off for their pals back home either. Steve added: “Our mate kept sending us voice-mail messages doing that [the friends theme tune] really loud, three times a day.”

It all worked out well in the end, however. “We flew our friends over and some of our friends it was their first time over in LA so they were arriving in and going straight to Courteney Cox’s house.”

Sounds pretty swish.

Even with the Monic-style quirks, the band obviously got along really well with the actress, saying that “she’s so lovely after talking to her for a few minutes you just forget she’s Monica.”

The boys weren’t the only ones happy with their new-found friendship. Courteney herself said they’re “amazing” and that she just had to direct the video. She was also sharing photos of the gang on Twitter after a day of shooting.

If you were in any doubt that Irish band Kodaline are a bunch of really sound lads, you need to watch this video.

Richard and Lizzie first met at a Kodaline gig, and they even named their baby Kodie in honour of the band. True fans indeed.

When Richard decided to pop the question, he enlisted the lads' help to make the moment extra special. Luckily for us, Kodaline broadcast the whole thing via the Periscope app, including their rendition of The One for the happy couple.

Prepare to well up…

1D fans can rest easy, as it’s been revealed that Harry Styles isn’t leaving the band anytime soon.

Rumours spread of a possible split yesterday, after Kodaline frontman, Steve Garrigan suggested that Styles could be releasing a solo album of his own.

“We had a bit of free time and so we went to the studio and wrote a song. It was good fun. It could be on his album if he does something, but I don’t know. Nothing is set in stone.”

But One Direction reps were quick to squash the rumours that Harry was launching an album of his own.

“There are no plans for Harry to release any solo music at this time, any writing that he is doing is for potential One Direction songs. It’s common knowledge that the boys write separately and bring to each other for the album.”

Well that’s us told then.

Irish band Kodaline have said that the song they penned with One Direction’s Harry Styles could end up on his solo album!

The All I Want hitmakers revealed at Glastonbury that Harry is a big fan of their work, and was keen to hook up with them in the studio.

“It was really strange how they came about,” the band’s singer Steve Garrigan said.

“He just turned up to a show, and he likes our music. We had a bit of free time and so we went to the studio and wrote a song. It was good fun.”

Steve then let the cat of the bag that Harry might be going SOLO – as in, splitting from the 1D lads!

He said, “It could be on his album if he does something, but I don’t know. Nothing is set in stone.”

Rumours have been circulating for a while that Harry was planning on a break-away from the band, and it could only be a matter of time before he goes out on his own!
