One Direction are set to perform their cover of Blondie's 'One Way or Another' at the 2013 BRIT awards.

The song is this year's Comic Relief charity single, and the boys will be performing it for the first time at the event on 20 February.

"We are really excited to be part of Red Nose Day this year," says bandmember Niall Horan. 

"We recorded Blondie's 'One Way or Another' and we really want the song to raise lots of money and for people to show their support by going out and buying themselves a copy."

Louis Tomlinson adds, "Getting the chance to perform Blondie's song will be incredible. We're so excited! Red Nose Day is a great excuse to have a lot of fun and to raise money, please get involved."

The song is already available to pre-order, and will be released digitally on 17 February on iTunes, with physical copies available one day later in Sainsbury's.

Speaking to NME previously about the track, Harry Styles said, "We have grown up with Comic Relief and taken parts in lots of Red Nose Days at school so we were thrilled to be asked to this year's Red Nose Day Single.

"It's such an honour for us. 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."
