Niall Horan has opened up about having a secret relationship while he was in One Direction.
The 24-year-old has just released his debut solo album, Flicker, and has revealed that it was written about one special person.
“It is written about one person. Most of it is,” Niall told The Sun.
“There’s obviously songs that are not particularly about anything, just scenarios I’ve made up in my head or situations I’ve seen among my friends.
“But yeah, for the most part it’s about that one person.”
Although the Slow Hands singer didn’t reveal who exactly he was singing about, he had been linked to singer Selena Gomez and Victoria Secret’s model Barbara Palvin during his time with 1D.
“I live most of my life out of the public eye. I try to keep as much of it shut as possible, because if you let it out, people start asking you loads of questions and it becomes uncomfortable.
“That’s why I wrote the album I did – because I’m not the greatest talker in terms of emotion. But I found that I’m good at writing it down on paper and putting it on the record. It’s still quite a hard thing to do but I found it better to do it that way.”
While fans of Niall are always speculation about his relationship status, the Mullingar man insists he’s not seeing anyone.
“I’m single now, yep. Yep. Extremely single.”
Who do you think the mystery girl is?
