Niall Horan has delighted fans with another unexpected collaboration, this time joining Off Campus actress and singer Ella Bright, who plays music major Hannah Wells in the hit Prime Video series. The former One Direction star secretly recorded vocals for Bright’s rendition of the classic “Baby Now That I Found You,” transforming the solo recording into a duet without her knowledge.

The surprise arrives during a particularly busy period for Horan. Earlier this month, he joined country star Thomas Rhettas a special guest for two stadium shows, including a performance at Hersheypark Stadium. During the appearances, Horan and Rhett performed their collaboration “Old Tricks” before treating audiences to a surprise performance of One Direction’s “Steal My Girl.” The crossover performances highlighted Horan’s versatility and were met with enthusiastic reactions from concertgoers, with clips quickly circulating across social media.

In a video shared on his official Instagram account, Horan introduced the latest surprise with a heartfelt message before Bright heard the finished track for the first time.

“You don’t know this yet, but you’re about to listen to our version of ‘Baby Now That I Found You,'” Horan said.

The duet is featured on Off Campus: The Mixtape (Extra Credit) and is set for release alongside the expanded soundtrack.

Bright’s reaction quickly won over fans as she listened in disbelief before smiling and revealing she had no idea Horan had been invited to add his vocals, making the moment a genuine surprise.

Fans across social media have responded enthusiastically to the collaboration, with many praising the natural harmony between Horan and Bright’s voices and calling the duet one of the soundtrack’s most anticipated releases. Several listeners compared the song’s warm acoustic feel and heartfelt delivery to Horan’s 2017 debut solo single, “This Town,” a track that remains a fan favourite. Others applauded Horan for supporting an emerging artist and introducing the duet in such a thoughtful way.

The collaboration adds another memorable chapter to Horan’s recent run of performances and musical partnerships. Following weeks of anticipation sparked by their live debut, “Baby Now That I Found You” has now been officially released on all major streaming platforms as part of the Off Campus soundtrack. Fans have praised the duo’s effortless vocal chemistry and emotional delivery, with many already calling the song one of the soundtrack’s standout tracks. The release has further fueled excitement among listeners, who have welcomed the studio version after its well-received live performances.
