They say the best relationships bloom out of the best friendships, and Hailee Steinfeld and Niall Horan's fleeting alleged romance is a testament to the statement. Steinfeld and Horan began as just friends before a series of events roused speculation that they were more than just friends. Horan's heartfelt birthday post for the Hailee Steinfeld tipped fans off on a suspected romance at the end of 2017 where he called her "the loveliest person on the planet."

By the summer, Niall and Hailee were spotted getting intimate in August on various occasions, including a PDA-filled trip to Disneyland and smooching in New York City while shopping.
By the end of August, however, things seemed to have fizzled out between the pair and fans were convinced Hailee and Niall broke up.

While the actress didn't specify the song was in fact about the former One Direction member, she mentioned “heartbreak” when reflecting in 2019 on her Instagram story when she first revealed the name of the song.
“2019. Thankful for all the lessons, the love, the heartbreak, & the memories,” she wrote, posting a series of snapshots from her busy year.
As for Horan, the former One Direction member has released songs that fans think are about his break-up with Steinfeld, including "Put a Little Love on Me" and "San Francisco."
