The story behind the song

"Slow Hands" was released in 2017 as the second single from Niall Horan's debut solo album, Flicker. Horan wanted to add more "grit, funk, and heavier bass" to his album, drawing inspiration from late 1970s and early 1980s music. He aimed for a sound similar to Don Henley's early solo work, with heavy bass and guitar. Horan also intended for the lyrics to be "a little bit cheeky."
