Niall Horan had big news this afternoon…

His first solo track has finally dropped, and he wanted to share it with us.

It’s called This Town and, like the nice lad he is, Niall wanted to take time to thank his fans for their support.

We’re sure you can guess what followed… fans went absolutely crazy for the new song.

It brought out some mixed feelings, though.

You can’t get more loyal than a Directioner, so it looks like Niall’s solo career is golden.

Niall, of course, was very grateful.
