Niall Horan had big news this afternoon…

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

Niall has gone solo (Yui Mok/PA)

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

I'm singing along at the top of my lungs because I learnt it off by heart already #ThisTown

we all remember not hearing niall sing that much in uan and now to hear a whole song of just his voice makes me so proud and happy #ThisTown

I literally ran out of my meeting at work to listen to #ThisTown and now I can't even go back because I'm sobbing so much!

Don't look at me, don't talk to me, don't touch me, I need a moment to apreciate that beautiful voice #ThisTown

He can't just drop your first single from nowhere and expect me to be ok I can even breathe right now I am so proud of him #ThisTown

It brought out some mixed feelings, though.

When you're happy bc Niall just killed his new solo song but you're lowkey sad bc 3 other boys weren't with him

Just because the boys have gone solo, doesn't mean they won't reunite in the future. Just remember that. But I'm happy if they are #ThisTown

Somehow I feel oddly betrayed by @NiallOfficial doing #ThisTown even though I've known 1D was over for a while…

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

WE'LL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR EACH OF YOU#ThisTown

I get it, seems like I'll have to buy all the boys solo albums. Thank you @Louis_Tomlinson @Harry_Styles @LiamPayne @NiallOfficial #ThisTown
