Niall Horan has revealed a new single, 'Drive Safe', in partnership with rising artist Myles Smith. The track is set for release on February 6, following an initial announcement in January. Fans have shown strong enthusiasm, with pre-save options now available.
In January 2026, Irish singer Niall Horan shared exciting news on social media about his latest musical project: a collaboration with Myles Smith, known for his hit 'Stargazing'. Horan posted photos and silent videos from their recording session, captioning it: 'Drive Safe with my pal @mylessmithuk is coming soon. Been a big of fan of his for a while now and I’m so happy I got to work with him on this tuuuuuuuneeeee! Can’t wait for you all to hear it'.
The announcement quickly drew reactions from fans and fellow artists. One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson commented, 'Love this!', while Smith replied playfully, 'Matching tattoos next? Love you x'. Enthusiastic fans speculated about band reunions, with comments like 'Zayn, then Louis, then Harry, now Niall???' and exclamations about One Direction 'moving together'.
Smith later confirmed the release date as February 6, with the song available for pre-save. He teased the upbeat track via Instagram clips, including one saying, 'Don’t let a little bad weather ruin ur drive', and another showing both artists singing in the studio. Additional videos have followed in the days since.
Horan, born in 1993 in Mullingar, Ireland, rose to fame on The X Factor in 2010, forming One Direction with Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, and the late Liam Payne. The group released five albums and achieved four UK number-one singles before an indefinite hiatus in 2015. Since going solo, Horan has put out three albums—Flicker (2017), Heartbreak Weather (2020), and The Show (2023)—and toured extensively, including his 2024 world tour.
This collaboration marks another chapter in Horan's post-One Direction career, blending his folk-inspired sound with Smith's emerging style.
