Today, Niall Horan shared his poignant new single, “Little More Time,” which he describes as his “favorite song” from Dinner Party, his fourth studio album. Listen to “Little More Time” HERE. Dinner Party, which will be released on June 5 via Capitol Records, is available for pre-order /pre-save HERE.
“‘Little More Time’ is a song about wanting time to stand still. If you could just press pause and the world would stop yet you could still live within the world like no one was watching,” explained Niall Horan. “I spend a lot of time away from home. So having found roots and wanting to be at home more, I felt compelled to write a song about the smaller moments and wishing that you could just stay in them.”
GQ observed, “[‘Little More Time’] may as well be an anthem for any 30something looking down the barrel of midlife. In the nostalgic early-aughts jam, Horan sings about turning clocks upside down, stretches out each melody and verse like it’s stuck in honey, and begs for one more song like a reveler coming to terms with last call at their favorite karaoke bar—a Bernard’s Watch for the adults in the room.”
Horan will perform on the plaza at New York City’s Rockefeller Center on June 12 as part of the Citi Concert Series on “TODAY.” While in the States, he’ll also play co-headlining stadium shows with Thomas Rhett at Nashville’s GEODIS Park (July 9) and Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA (July 18). He’ll kick off the UK/EU leg of Dinner Party Live On Tour on September 22 in Birmingham, England at Utilita Arena Birmingham. For further details, visit https://niallhoran.com/pages/tour.
There’s something about sharing a table that feels like sharing a future and Dinner Party brings the listener into that experience with warmth, wit and sincerity. The album is cinematic and organic, with songs that play like memories being gently created. Julian Bunetta and John Ryan, Horan’s longtime collaborators, served as executive producers. His other creative partners and co-writers included Afterhrs, Amy Allen, Ian Franzino, Andrew Haas, Steph Jones, Rocky Block and Joel Little.
In April, Horan shared the intimate title track – the nucleus of the album. Clash said, “‘Dinner Party’ is all lush guitar effervescence and dulcet, 90s tinged production. It feels a little like a lost Crowded House track, a mid-tempo mover that gives Niall space to dial into the thrill of connection.” Horan recently spoke about the album during a visit to “Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!” and in an NME “In Conversation” feature that celebrated his 10 years as a solo artist.
The multi-Platinum-selling singer/songwriter first rose to prominence as part of the internationally acclaimed One Direction and has since firmly established himself as a powerhouse solo artist, selling over 90 million records worldwide. He launched his solo career with the Platinum-certified album Flicker, which featured the triple-Platinum hit “Slow Hands.” Horan has since released three additional albums —Heartbreak Weather, which ranked No. 1 on both Billboard’s Top Album Sales Chart and the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart, The Show, which topped the same two charts, and The Show: Encore. His 2024 global headline trek “THE SHOW” LIVE ON TOUR brought his music to packed arenas across multiple continents, culminating in a sold-out North American run and over 1.2 million tickets sold worldwide.
