Following the band's hiatus in 2016, Horan signed a recording deal as a solo artist with Capitol Records and has since released three albums: Flicker (2017), Heartbreak Weather (2020) and The Show (2023) Flicker debuted at number one in Ireland and the US, and reached the top three in Australia and the UK. The album's first two singles, " This Town " and "Slow Hands", reached the top twenty in several countries. Heartbreak Weather was released in March 2020, and debuted at number one in the UK, Ireland and Mexico, and at number four in the US.
Horan's music style has been categorized as soft rock, pop, and pop rock, while also having elements of country and folk. His tenor voice has been described as "sweet, high, [and] slightly grainy." Horan grew up listening to rock bands like the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, and crooners including Rat Pack members Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. He is also inspired by singer-songwriters such as Damien Rice, Taylor Swift, and Bruce Springsteen.
Heartbreak Weather
Niall Horan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starting a fire in a hotel room
And yeah we were dancing, dancing to Bruno
And I couldn't turn away from you
Yeah I saw you smiling, breaking the silence
Telling me just what you want
There in the moment, I was reminded
Blinded by the sparks
We were driving around in the dark
Finding reasons to stay where we are
All of my life I've been sleep-walk living
Running around the same bars I've been in
It can be so lonely in this city
But it feels different when you're with me
All of my life, it's been heartbreak weather
Thinking to myself it won't get better
It can be so lonely in this city
But it feels different when you're with me
Yeah, it was magic, you were a vision
Watching the way your body moves
Taking your clothes off, you look in the mirror
Telling me just what you want, and I
Was blinded by the sparks
I was holding you close in the dark
Finding reasons to stay where we are
All of my life I've been sleep-walk living
Running around the same bars I've been in
It can be so lonely in this city
But it feels different when you're with me
All of my life, it's been heartbreak weather
Thinking to myself it won't get better
It can be so lonely in this city
But it feels different when you're with me
You, that's what I've been missing
Was tangled up and twisted
Now all the clouds been lifted
Lately, my heart's been so empty
You, that's what I've been missing
Was tangled up and twisted
Now all the clouds been lifted
Lately, my heart's been so empty
But it feels different when you're with me
It feels different when you're with me
All of my life it's been heartbreak weather
Thinking to myself it won't get better
It can be so lonely in this city
But it feels different when you're with me
It feels different when you're with me
In "Heartbreak Weather," Niall Horan recounts a moment of passion and connection with a love interest. He describes the intensity of the experience through vivid imagery, such as the "lightning coming from your eyes" and "starting a fire in a hotel room." The chorus speaks to the feeling of loneliness and heartbreak he has experienced in his life, but how being with this person feels different and fills that emptiness. He talks about how he's been sleep-walking through life, going to the same bars and feeling lonely in the city. But with this person, it feels like he's finally found a sense of belonging.
The verses describe a specific night where he was dancing with the person he's singing about to Bruno Mars, and he couldn't turn away from them. They share a moment where she smiles and tells him what she wants, and he feels alive and reminded of what it's like to feel that way. The bridge talks about how he feels like he's been missing her, and how she's filled a void in his life. It's a song that captures the excitement and vulnerability of falling in love, and how it can change everything.

I swear there was lightning coming from your eyes
I felt an electric connection with you when we met
Starting a fire in a hotel room
Our chemistry was so intense it could start a fire
And yeah we were dancing, dancing to Bruno
We were lost in the moment, dancing to the music of Bruno Mars
And I couldn't turn away from you
I was drawn to you and couldn't resist your pull
Yeah I saw you smiling, breaking the silence
Your smile lit up the room and broke any awkwardness between us
Telling me just what you want
You were clear in expressing your desires to me
There in the moment, I was reminded
Being with you reminded me of how good it feels to be alive
I haven't felt this way in a while
I haven't experienced this level of happiness in a long time
Blinded by the sparks
Our passion was so intense it blinded me momentarily
We were driving around in the dark
We were aimlessly wandering around, lost in each other's company
Finding reasons to stay where we are
We didn't want our time together to end and looked for ways to extend it
All of my life I've been sleep-walk living
I've been living my life on autopilot until now
Running around the same bars I've been in
I've been stuck in a routine and haven't branched out
It can be so lonely in this city
This city can be isolating and lonely at times
But it feels different when you're with me
But when I'm with you, I don't feel alone anymore
Yeah, it was magic, you were a vision
Our connection felt like magic and you were a sight to behold
Watching the way your body moves
I was entranced by the way you moved
Taking your clothes off, you look in the mirror
You were confident and unapologetic about your body
Was tangled up and twisted
I was emotionally and mentally caught up in you
Now all the clouds been lifted
Being with you has lifted my mood and outlook on life
Lately, my heart's been so empty
I've been feeling emotionally drained and unsatisfied with life
You, that's what I've been missing
You are the missing piece I've been searching for in my life
It feels different when you're with me
When I'm with you, everything changes for the better
All of my life it's been heartbreak weather
I've been stuck in a pattern of heartbreak and disappointment
Thinking to myself it won't get better
I've been convinced that things won't change for the better
But it feels different when you're with me
But with you, I have hope for a different future

well hello there
If you didn't notice, this mv has the different weather types represented:
1:01 Windy
1:34 Rainy
1:36 Foggy
1:39 Sunny
2:45 Winter/Cold
they're subtle but continue throughout the video.. remember how he made those short videos where he acted as a weather man forecasting?
Also, at the bridge part of the lyrics where he says, 'you, that's what I've been missing..' and at the end of the bridge, *'..lately, my heart's been so empty'*, he takes his sunglasses off (could mean that the sunlight isn't there), and there's also no more wind in the windy part, etc and then they continue again when he sings the chorus one last time.
These are just little details I noticed and there's definitely more.. Niall is smart lol
