Strange light revolves around you
You float across the room
Your touch is made of something
Heaven can't hold a candle to
You're made of something new
Let's not get complicated
Let's just enjoy the view
It's hard to be a human
So much to put an answer to
But that's just what we do
[Chorus]
God only knows where this could go
And even if our love starts to grow out of control
And you and me go up in flames
Heaven won't be the same
[Verse 2]
I'm having revelations
You dance across the floor
Beyond infatuation
How I obsessively adore you
That's what I do
[Pre-Chorus]
I believe, I believe
I could die in your kiss
No, it doesn't get, doesn't get
Better than this
God only knows where this could go
And even if our love starts to grow out of control
And you and me go up in flames
Heaven won't be the same
God only knows where this could go
And even if our love starts to grow out of control
And you and me go up in flames
Heaven won't be the same
[Post-Chorus]
(Heaven won't be the same)
[Pre-Chorus]
I believe, I believe
I could die in your kiss
No, it doesn't get, doesn't get
Better than, better than this
[Chorus]
God only knows where this could go
And even if our love starts to grow out of control (Even if our love)
And you and me go up in flames
Heaven won't be the same
God only knows where this could go
And even if our love starts to grow out of control
And you and me go up in flames
Heaven won't be the same
About
“Heaven” is the lead single from Niall Horan’s third studio album, The Show, which will be released in June 2023.
The song was first teased on January 20th 2023, when some fans started receiving a package with the single’s name. On the following day, a website called heavenwontbethesame.com was launched, with the title “NH3 is loading…” and a GIF of a candle burning down. The saying “KEEP CHECKING BACK EVERY DAY” was also found in the page’s source code.
The official announcement of the single, however, was made a week after those facts, on January 26th, for the song to be released on February 17th. Since then, Horan has been teasing many parts of the song in his TikTok.

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that society loves to pressure us into reaching certain milestones by a certain age. Whether that’s getting married or anything else that really should be based on our own instincts. As I’ve gotten older I’ve tried to let go of those expectations and just follow my heart. The chorus of this song is saying that what I have in my life currently is amazing. So it would be crazy to ruin that by giving into outside pressures.
— Niall via press release
“Heaven” debuted and peaked at #63 on the Billboard Hot 100 during the chart week ending March 4, 2023. During the chart week ending March 11, 2023, song reached a new peak of #62.
