Irish singer-songwriter Niall Horan has announced plans to drop his new single 'Heaven' next month, on February 17th.

'Heaven' is personal to the singer, an ode to the efforts he's made to be more true to himself and happy with his life regardless of external, societal expectations.

"The chorus of this song is saying that what I have in my life currently is amazing," he explained to his fans. "It would be crazy to ruin that by giving into outside pressures."

It will be available in digital single, CD, and 7'' vinyl forms.

Hopefully the new single is the first piece of a new album, with the singer saying he's been "working really hard" on new music. He released an EP of five singles, Hidden Gems in 2022, but otherwise Horan hasn't released a new full album in three years.

His second album Heartbreak Weather in 2020 went Gold in the UK, while his first solo album, Flicker, went Platinum twice in Ireland, amongst other accolades.

"I have so much coming over the next few months so keep your eyes peeled for the first of many announcements tomorrow," Horan tweeted yesterday, hyping up today's new announcement.

"I'm really excited by the idea of getting back into the swing of things. Thank you for your patience and I can't wait to share this chapter with you."
