'Wrong Direction': Fans feel Hailee Steinfeld's new song is a diss track on ex Niall Horan from One Direction
Actress and singer-songwriter Hailee Steinfeld could be revealing snippets into her thoughts on her ex, Niall Horan. Steinfeld revealed little to no info on the meaning of her upcoming song, 'Wrong Direction', releasing January 1. And it is sparking off irony alarms off in fans' heads.
Fans speculated the possible diss as the song's title is strangely similar to her ex's boy band group, One Direction. It doesn't soften the blow to recognize that the first day of the new year is usually when New Year's resolutions kick off, perhaps hinting that she intends to move on, considering their breakup a year ago. Fans also noticed that Horan had not wished Steinfeld a happy birthday, albeit she had done so the previous year, leaving the fans to speculate further.
On December 13, 2018, PEOPLE confirmed the couple had split after becoming romantically involved the previous February.
The pair had not publicly acknowledged any romantic relationship, but Steinfeld did open up about what it had been like for her to “fall in love”. Steinfeld had shared with Cosmopolitan in 2018: “When you fall in love, you pick up on the tiniest things about yourself. You start doing things for this person and going out of your way to make them happy. When you love who you are with that person… there’s nothing that compares.”
In May 2018, Steinfeld and Horan were spotted on a low-key date at Los Angeles hot spot E.P. & L.P. Later in August the same year, the duo was spotted kissing in Los Angeles.
'Wrong Direction' will mark the pop singer's first new song since the 'Afterlife' single debuted in September. Hailee Steinfeld has been building up a few chart-toppers since her musical career, namely 'Starving', 'Love Myself' and 'Capital Letters' to name a few and perhaps 'Wrong Direction' might be another relatable track for 2020.
