Niall Horan stood in front of 80,000 fans at London’s Wembley Stadium about to dive into a solo rendition of “Steal Your Girl” when he suddenly realized that he may not be as familiar with One Direction ‘s lyrics as he thought. On the studio version of the 2014 track, the musician only delivers a couple of lines, a fact which gave him a mental pause last weekend as he was about to perform the song during his headlining set for Capital FM Summertime Ball.

Horan admitted his near lapse in memory during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon . At the start of their talk, the host asked,”You played One Direction’s songs before, but what’s it like to do the whole song by yourself?”
