Niall would describe himself as a laid-back, emotional guy who writes songs to make sense of what he’s feeling. In 2019, during the Heartbreak Weather era, he’d probably say he’s a bit of a hopeless romantic, someone who overthinks, loves a good melody, and finds comfort in routine—like tea, football, and late-night songwriting. He’d admit he’s not always great at talking about his emotions out loud, so music is how he gets it all out. He’s also cheeky, self-aware.
