“This album is a chunk of labor I’m so happy with and now it’s time to go it over to you to go and make it your personal,” Horan wrote on Instagram in a submit that featured the quilt, wherein he’s depicted leaning on his elbows in a window and staring up on the title. “Thanks a lot for being there for me all this time and I can’t wait to share the subsequent couple of years of this new period with you.

In his newest TikTok tease of the album, Horan mentioned it’s “by far and away my favourite stuff I’ve ever labored on.”
“Heaven” is Horan’s first new launch since “Our Music” and “In all places,” his pair of 2021 collaborations with Anne-Marie. The singer’s final full-length album, Heartbreak Climate, contained singles “Good to Meet Ya,” “Put a Little Love on Me,” “No Judgement” and “Black and White”; the album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 after its March 2020 launch.
