Is this the final nail in the One Direction coffin?
Niall Horan has officially begun his solo career. The One Direction member just released "This Town," an emotional look back at an old love from his hometown.
"And I remember everything," sings Horan. "From when we were the children playing in this fairground / Wish I was there with you now."
The Irish pop star announced the new song today on Twitter, saying that he wrote the song for his fans.

He co-wrote the song, which was produced by Greg Kurstin (Adele, Sia), with Jamie Scott, Mike Needle and Daniel Bryer.
“Thank you to all the One Direction fans for your love and support as always," said Horan in a statement. "I’m looking forward to the next part of this journey together."
But, of course, everyone has to ask: Is this the official demise of 1D?
