[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”“W” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]hen it all melts down, I’ll be there.” Good to know, 🎙 Niall Horan! The Irish singer/songwriter follows up “Heaven”, the fabulous promo single from 💿 The Show, with another winner, 🎵 “Meltdown”. “Meltdown” is brief but potent, running about two-and-a-half minutes in duration. That is more than enough for the listers to experience that Niall magic, WOO! He wrote “Meltdown” alongside 🎼 ✍ Amy Allen, Joel Little, and John Ryan. Little and Ryan also produce the track, with incredibly positive results. [/otw_shortcode_dropcap]
“Meltdown” benefits from an electrifying groove and driving bass line. Furthermore, Niall gives us strong vocals. “Screamin’ in your car (Yeah) in the driveway / Spinnin’ out, think your life’s goin’ sideways,” Horan asserts in the first verse. In the second, he adds, “Sleep is so thin (Yeah) out of habit / Hard to tell the real from the dreams you imagine.” Clearly, things are NOT going well for this person. Even so, superhero Niall is there for you, he reveals on the memorably penned, tuneful chorus! Good to know! Interestingly, “Meltdown” reminds me a lot of another big pop hit, 🎵 “As It Was” by 🎙 Harry Styles. All in all, “Meltdown” is a surefire ear-worm after the first listen!
