Niall Horan’s First Solo Single

Although the band officially includes Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, Horan’s new solo stint lets his talent really shine. His debut acoustic song entitled, “This Town” is the perfect beginning to his solo career. It was produced by Greg Kurstin (responsible for Sia and Adele) and the lyrics tell a story of a girl who has moved on and leaves Horan in a quiet, jealous sadness. The song was written by the whole team: Horan, Jamie Scott, Daniel Bryer and Mike Needle. According to Billboard, Horan is thoroughly excited about his new opportunity stating, “Thank you to all the One Direction fans for your love and support as always. I’m looking forward to the next part of this journey together.”

Fans can stream “This Town” on Spotify or Apple Music, or download it on iTunes. For a sneak peek, check out Niall Horan’s Instagram, as he has posted previews of the amazing things he’s been working on!

The One That Got Away

Teenagers and nostalgic adults are going to fall in love with Horan’s new single. The lyrics, as previously mentioned, share a touching story that will resonate with many people. It’s relatable to anyone who’s ever been in love and lost it. Check out some of the lyrics here:

“I saw that you moved on with someone new

In the pub that we met he’s got his arms around you / It’s so hard / So Hard / And I want to tell you everything / The words I never got to say the first time around / And I remember everything / From when we were the children playing in this fairground / Wish I was there with you now. . . “
