Niall James Horan (born 13 September 1993) is an Irish singer-songwriter, who rose to fame as a member of Music/OneDirection before embarking on a solo career of his own.
Horan is currently signed to Capitol Records. He released his first single with them, ''This Town'', in 2016. After two more single releases, his debut album ''Flicker'' came out on 20 October 2017 and immediately went number one on the Billboard 200.
On 4 October 2019, Horan released his lead single, ''Nice to Meet Ya'', for his second album, ''Heartbreak Weather''. Later that month, he announced the ''Nice to Meet Ya Tour'', with openers FLETCHER and Music/LewisCapaldi. He released two more singles, ''Put a Little Love on Me'' and ''No Judgement'', before the album dropped on 13 March 2020.
Though the ''Nice to Meet Ya Tour'' was eventually canceled due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, Horan managed to release a remix with Ashe titled ''Moral of the Story'' while in lockdown. He also played a special live-streamed concert at the Royal Albert Hall on 7 November 2020 to support both his touring crew and the We Need Crew organization as the touring industry was impacted heavily during the pandemic.
Horan's third and most recent album, ''The Show'' came out on 9 June 2023 and went number one in several countries, including the United Kingdom and his native Ireland.

!!Nice to trope ya:
* AlbumTitleDrop: With "Flicker", "Heartbreak Weather" and "The Show". Typically featured in the chorus of said song.
* AloneInACrowd: Referenced in "Heartbreak Weather":
-->"It can be so lonely in this city \\
But it feels different when you're with me"
* AnimatedMusicVideo: "This Town".
* CallBack: In the "Moral of the Story" remix, he references a paper house, which he sung all about in "Paper Houses" off "Flicker":
-->"And we burned down our '''paper house'''..."
* CoverVersion: Horan's covered "Lover" by Music/TaylorSwift with FLETCHER and Music/TearsForFears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", among other songs. During live performances, he typically covers "Story of My Life" by Music/OneDirection.
* GrowOldWithMe: The entire premise of "Black And White".
-->"We're 65 and you ask \\
When did I first know, I always knew"
* IntercourseWithYou: "Slow Hands", "Small Talk" and "On A Night Like Tonight", among others.
* LetsDuet: With Music/MarenMorris in "Seeing Blind", Music/JohnLegend and Lizzy McAlpine in "The Show: The Encore", Anne-Marie in "Our Song" and Ashe in "Moral of the Story".
* OneWordTitle: "Flicker", the title of his debut album, which also has a song by the same name on the album. Beyond that, we have "Heaven", "Meltdown" and "Science" from "The Show", "Everywhere" and "Still" from "Heartbreak Weather" and "Mirrors" (along with "Flicker"), on "Flicker".
* SignificantReferenceDate: "Heartbreak Weather" was released on 13 March 2020, which is pretty much universally considered the day the world shut down due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Horan has always dressed on the casual side for most tour and concert performances, but ever since he dropped "Heaven", he's been wearing sets with "The Show" and other details about the album embroidered on the back of his shirt.
* SillyLoveSongs: Pretty much the entirety of "The Show", but special mention to "Must Be Love":
-->"But if it feels like lo-lo-lo-lo-love \\
If it feels like lo-lo-lo-lo-love \\
If it feels like love \\
Then it must be love"
* SingerNamedrop: Name drops Music/BrunoMars in "Heartbreak Weather":
-->"And yeah, we were dancin', dancin' to Bruno"
* SoloSideProject: Since One Direction has yet to formally disband, his career currently falls under this.
