On June 9, 2023, Niall Horan will release his long-awaited album, The Show. Since One Direction went on hiatus in Jan. 2016, Horan has only released two albums. While both albums have chart-topping tracks, many fans are more excited than ever for his new album to be released just in time for summer.
Horan first announced The Show on Feb. 15, 2023, causing havoc within his fanbase on every social media platform. After his Mar. 2020 release of his album Heartbreak Weather, he says that, when the album was released, it was the same day everyone was told they would be going into lockdown. Horan stated that, once the tour got canceled, he was feeling upset at the world. He was also feeling uninspired and it took him a while to get the “creative juices” flowing. Once he did, though, he told Seth Meyers, "Once it came it kind of opened a door for what is now a finished product, record." That finished record is his June album, The Show.

A couple of days after announcing his third album, Niall Horan released the first single titled, “Heaven.” According to Acharts, a music charts website, “Heaven” debuted at number four on the Irish singles charts. The song also debuted at #25 on the Spotify charts. About a week after the initial release of the song, the Irish singer released the music video on Feb. 24. On April 28, Horan released his second single, “Meltdown.” The song is about the anxiety he has faced over the years, and he told NBC, "When you're in that feeling, it's hard to think of it like that. But I felt like it was an important subject to talk about personally, and that people would be able to relate to that as well with all that's going on in the world." The song debuted at #48 on the UK singles charts.
After the announcement of the album, Horan posted a picture of the track titles, causing fans to get even more excited about the album's release. To help promote his upcoming album, he hosted a giveaway of free signed candles for fans who pre-saved the album on their music streaming service. Since the announcement of the album, there have been multiple variations of the vinyl format of The Show. There is the classic black vinyl, but a few of the variations include teal, cream, and even multicolor. Each vinyl color variation comes with a different picture on the cover and, according to his official merch website, “includes a randomly-selected 5" x 8.25" print of a letter handwritten by Niall about a song from the album.” The album has ten tracks and is expected to be about 30 minutes long.
