"Nice to Meet Ya" is a song by Irish singer Niall Horan, released through Capitol Records as the lead single from his upcoming second studio album on 4 October 2019.[2] Horan co-wrote the track with Ruth-Anne Cunningham in one day.[3]

Background

In June 2019, Horan told fans that they would hear new music from him by the end of the year. In early September, he posted online that he was "listening to songs from my new record and I'm so excited to get going".[2] Co-writer Ruth-Anne Cunningham, whom Horan worked with on the song "Slow Hands", said the track gives her "2000s rock, Kasabian/Arctic Monkeys vibes".[4]

Promotion

Horan formally announced the track on social media on 26 September 2019, posting its cover art and writing "After nearly 2 years since Flicker I'm ready to go." Horan initially tweeted the link to his website the day before, which crashed soon after.[2] From the snippet posted to Instagram, Mike Wass of Idolator stated that the track "sounds like a stomping, upbeat anthem".[5]
