Music video
History's music video was published on the band Vevo channel on YouTube, on January 26, 2016. As of February 12, the video has received 47.9 million views. The video features clips of the band throughout the years (including clips with former member Zayn Malik). The video ends as the band walk off in separate directions which caused lots of rumours to start going around about if the end of the music video means the end of One Direction as well. However, it was confirmed afterwards that originally they were supposed to run back together at the end of the music video. Ben Winston, who directed the video, also added "The ending wasn't supposed to look like they're just walking off in different directions, it was kind of like a see you in a bit, guys."

The album featured deeply personal compositions, with a musical style that ranges from talking blues ("Talking New Bob Dylan") to almost pure country rock ("So Many Songs") and modern folk ("The Picture", "Men").
History is often regarded as a breakthrough in Wainwright's career. Allmusic call the album "his masterpiece", and both Bruce Springsteen and Bob Geldof cited it as their favourite album of the year.
