Niall Horan has released his new song “End of an Era,” which is about the grief he experienced after the death of his friend and former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne.
In a recent And The Writer Is interview, Niall explained how his co-writer Julian Bunetta helped him realize that the song they were writing was about their late friend.
He was like, “This is this song is about Liam. We just don’t know it yet. We’re dancing around it subconsciously.” And then this song was written in five minutes. It’s a song of loss and fear of loss and the end of an era. It kind of has a — it’s sad. One verse is sad, and one verse is nostalgic and they are two feelings I have when I think of Liam. Sadness that he’s not with us anymore, but also looking back at the the good times of growing up together … making records together and growing up together in a mad industry and being all over the world and traveling and all the small moments that we had in hotel rooms and, you know, and being on stage and looking at each other on stage, and like all of those things come flooding back in in this song, along with the sadness. But it was amazing.
The song will be featured on Niall‘s new album Dinner Party, which is out on June 5.
