Slow Hands

The second single from Niall Horan's debut solo album, this was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by frequent One Direction songwriter Julian Bunetta.

The single has a funkier, sexier groove than Horan's debut release, "This Town." "The whole song was pretty off-the-cuff. I wanted it to be a little bit cheeky with the lyric," Niall told Siriux XM Hits 1's Mikey Piff. "We wrote this concept about being in the bar." "The first line of the song is 'We should take this back to my place' - usually that's what the guy would say, but we flipped it that the girl would say that, and that's what she said right to my face," he continued. "With the song, before we even wrote lyrics, we had this big track and it sounded quite sexy. So we thought that this concept would match the vibe of the song, and I think we might have been right."

The song was one of the last to be written for the album. "I wrote this one, probably, in February," Horan said. "I just thought, 'You know what? I'm missing a bit of grit. Something a bit more funky, something with a bit heavier bass.' That's what I set out to do." "And then I was listening to a lot of late '70s, early '80s people like Don Henley," he continued. "When he went solo in the early '80s, he just had this funky kind of feel to it - heavy bass, heavy guitar. So I thought, 'Let's give this a crack.' And then it just kind of happened, within a few hours, it was brilliant."
