This morning, Niall Horan decided to announce his solo career and release his debut single all at the same time without zero warning, causing Directioners to lose their damn minds.
The new single is titled "This Town," and Niall released a heart-melting stripped-down performance of the track, because he knows what the people want.
"I'm excited to announce I have signed a record deal with Capitol Records USA and released my first solo song," Niall said in a statement.
"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."
Naturally, people lost the ability to breathe, exist, speak, etc.
And everyone was really damn excited about the new track.
Because there's nothing better than the sweet sounds of a familiar voice washing over you.
And just when you think all hope is lost in the world, our faves swoop in to save the day.
