Niall Horan and Hailee Steinfeld were linked back in 2018, when they attended various events together, including a Backstreet Boys concert. Even before that, on Steinfeld’s birthday in December 2017, Horan shared a sweet post for the “Hawkeye” actor. “Happy birthday to the loveliest person on the planet and one of my best friends @haileesteinfeld,” he wrote on Instagram, with a silly candid photo of the two at an award show. “Have no idea what the hell is going on in this photo. Love ya hails.” According to Express UK, the two dated from December 2017 to December 2018. Us Weekly reported in 2020 that a source claimed the breakup was schedule-related: he had just finished a tour and Steinfeld’s filming obligations were growing. It was also reported that they’d split months before the news got out.

However, Steinfeld released an EP called “Half Written Story” in 2020, and it featured a song titled “Wrong Direction.” Of course, the title seems like a play on Horan’s former famous band, One Direction, so that made fans think the song was about him. In it, Steinfeld sings, “Lookin’ back, I probably should have known / But I just wanted to believe that you were out sleepin’ alone.” Was she revealing her ex-boyfriend’s infidelity in her song?
