Thank you to all the One Direction fans for your love and support as always. In an official statement, Niall confirmed his solo record deal with Capitol: "I'm excited to announce I have signed a record deal with Capitol Records USA and released my first solo song. Capitol also erected a billboard advertising the single in Los Angeles and bought ad space on Instagram and Spotify. The song was released through Capitol Records, who tweeted a welcome message to Niall and celebrated by flying a 'This Town' flag atop their famous Capitol building in Hollywood, California. The following morning, radio stations began tweeting about a surprise world premiere and at approximately 11am EST on September 29th, 'This Town' premiered worldwide. On September 28, 2016, Radio Disney's official Twitter account prematurely posted a tweet saying a song from Niall was about to be released. Horan has said his debut album will sound similar to This Town, stating it will be “more upbeat but that kind of vibe - the acoustic guitar, that kind of feel to it, nice strings.” Release I came up with the idea while I was backpacking through Asia." He further explained the inspiration behind the song in a December 2016 interview, stating "The track is quite special to me, it's one of the first songs I wrote and finished. ”Everything comes back to you” is also quite a poignant line, it’s clearly the tag of the song, everyone that heard the song, before the public heard it, was going ”everything comes back to you” - so that’s the line everyone’s gonna be singing to my face. I think that’s quite relatable, a carefree kind of line. He also spoke about the lyrics, stating "The first verse of the chorus is pretty cool: “.if the whole world was watching, I’d still dance with you”. "I was like "OK, maybe we’re in a good place here, maybe I could actually do something with this". 'This Town' is actually one of the first I wrote. Just, you know, for nothing really in particular. When I got back, I was like "Now I’m gonna go in the studio and do a bit of writing because I can and because I want to". He explained the writing process of 'This Town' to Z100, stating "I went travelling at the start of the year. He cited legendary acts Bob Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel as inspirations. Niall began writing sessions for his debut solo album in March 2016, after backpacking around the world for three months.
Horan's vocals span from D 3 to E 4 in the song. The song is written in the key of A major with a common time tempo of 112 beats per minute.
