Niall Horan Reveals Details Of Girl Who Inspired His New Song ‘Mirrors’

Niall Horan just dropped his solo debut album “Flicker” and he’s revealing exclusively to Fresh 102.7 the story behind the upcoming single, “Mirrors.” "I was in Pret [a Manger] one day in town and I was looking at my phone and I had seen a girl in the corner who I thought looked a little bit upset… And the waiter came over and made her laugh out loud and her laugh... I wrote that down on my phone and picked up the story a few months later and wrote a song about it."

[@RaniaBhatti]

⁠@@nohalatrash3235yea that’s how it be sadly, the talentless people who objectify themselves get overrated and the talented, good people get undervalued

[@francescaemery2366]

Oh my god imagine that girl inspired that song and she doesn’t even know it!

[@emilysoria64]

Niall is creative writing a whole song on just witnessing some girl in a bar

[@caitlintan4322]

Emelee Soria 😢

[@AbrahamBernard]

Caitlin Horan 😂😂😂 hahaha

[@hopecobb25]

How do you know it was at a bar?

[@RaniaBhatti]

@@hopecobb25I don’t think it was, I think it was some restaurant or cafe

[@gabbysingsbroadway]

That's INCREDIBLE how a song isn't always about a person. Even just a STORY can be turned into music is INCREDIBLE. Niall Horan u have a rare talent indeed ☺️

[@kokob9197]

More people need to know about him. he is absolutely amazing

[@luisagomez9601]

This girl that inspired the song, was literally in the same pub as niall, and was sad?!? Omll she better be happy

[@RaniaBhatti]

How do you know it was a pub?

[@deborahdee6213]

What a gift to be so astute to a complete stranger's mood/interaction with another to the point it makes such an impression you actually stop in the moment to jot it down and end up writing a beautiful song about it. That is natural talent, creativity, and a man with a sense of awareness right there. All of those attributes combined with his innate musical abilities is why Flicker is such a success.

[@ashroyer03]

I just find it so brilliant how he just came up with such a good concept for an amazing song just from a girl in the bar who seemed to be upset off in the corner and was happily distracted by the waiter that made her laugh that Niall abruptly noticed. It’s so amazing just to see a concept bloom into this miraculous song. This song is incredibly underrated. The message is wholesome.

[@mann7298]

i do hope they all get the recognision they deserve now as solo artists. they deserved it as a band as well and there were some huge songs that were so underrated and didnt even get a chance bc of one direction being one direction and a boy band.

[@clotildemartinezlopez7017]

This is so sweet Idk why it makes me want to cry I feel like that idea can only come from a very beautiful mind, and it makes me want to cry to know there are such beautiful minds

[@thepegasusarmy5364]

He's actually the best person in the world

[@meganheavilon9661]

I love Niall like actually love him ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lucyboyce1105]

unacceptable that neither album has been nominated for a grammy, they’re are both fantastic, his voice is beautiful and don’t get me started on the sheer poetry of his lyrics

[@vqgoldie]

I agree, he writes such wonderful lyrics - absolute poetry! Those lyrics combined with his vocals and musicality are sheer heaven.

[@prathyushad6665]

I am not able to get over this album. How come he didn't win nomination. The lyrics are so beautiful and so is his voice.

[@emmaschreiber4363]

Wow. I LOVE him and his music. So talented. He has a Beautiful ❤️

[@mariaaparecida-bw3qh]
