Who doesn’t know One Direction? It was one of the world’s most popular boy bands. It is rare to see a band take on the world so early in their careers, but 1D knew nothing less than creating records.
Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik were brought together, just by means of picking five very talented boys, on the stage of X-Fator in 2010.
The band lasted for about six years and following the hiatus in 2016, the members took on their individual journeys. While a few names might have gotten bigger than the others, none are forgotten. Out of the big names is Niall Horan.
He’s not one of those singers you keep hearing about or around, but you definitely won’t miss out on his songs. On the occasion of his birthday, here’s us celebrating his individual music that needs a little more recognition.
So, here are six songs where Niall truly showed what great potential he has:
1. Our Song – Annie Marie and Niall Horan (Therapy) – 2021
Well, one can be sure that this collaboration will dig out gold and it did. This song has the right notes to make you want to sing along.

It is one of those songs that are easy on the ears but leave a mark on the heart. One can definitely not miss this one.

5. This Town (Flicker) – 2017
Songs that bring with them a gush of nostalgia are sometimes too big a risk to take but one that you’d take on with a smile on your face.
