Niall Horan will drop his new single 'Heaven' next month

Niall Horan is set to drop a brand new single next month.

Titled 'Heaven', the first taster of new music - presumably from his forthcoming third album - is set to arrive on 17th February.

"I could not be happier to let you know that my new single 'Heaven' is being released on February 17," he wrote. Which is basically what we already said, but it sounds better coming from him.

“One thing I’ve learned over the years is that society loves to pressure us into reaching certain milestones by a certain age," he continues in a press statement about the track. "Whether that’s getting married or anything else that really should be based on our own instincts. As I’ve gotten older I’ve tried to let go of those expectations and just follow my heart. The chorus of this song is saying that what I have in my life currently is amazing. So it would be crazy to ruin that by giving into outside pressures.”

7” vinyl and CD editions of 'Heaven', which will be released in April, are available for pre-order now.

Posting on social media yesterday (25th January), Niall explained that he's "been working really hard on my music over the last couple of years" and has "so much coming overthe next few months."

"I'm really excited by the idea of getting back into the swing of things," he continued, probably not talking about his golfing game this time. "Thank you for your patience and I can't wait to share this chapter with you.
