Did Hailee Steinfeld Just Accuse Niall Horan of Cheating in “Wrong Direction”?

Hailee Steinfeld just dropped her new song “Wrong Direction” and the entire internet thinks it’s about her ex-boyfriend Niall Horan. Which. I mean. Judging from the title of the song, yeah, adds up.

In the lyrics to the song—which isn’t confirmed to be about Niall, FYI!—Hallie talks about heartbreak, singing:

I don’t hate you
No, I couldn’t if I wanted to
I just hate all the hurt that you put me through
And that I blame myself for letting you
Did you know I already knew?

She also strongly implies she was cheated on thanks to these lyrics:

Lookin’ back, I probably should have known
But I just wanted to believe that you were out sleepin’ alone

And talks about maybe-Niall’s giant ego:

On my tip-toes
But I still couldn’t reach your ego
Guess I was crazy to give you my body, my mind
Don’t know what I was thinkin’ ’til now
Everyone thinks that you’re somebody else
You even convinced yourself

And don’t even get me started on how shady the chorus is:

Loved me with your worst intentions
Didn’t even stop to question
Every time you burned me down
Don’t know how; for a moment it felt like heaven
Loved me with your worst intentions
Painted us a happy ending
Every time you burned me down
Don’t know how; for a moment it felt like heaven

I mean, look, maybe this song isn’t about Niall—who Hailee dated for about a year before ending things in December 2018. But fans are reading into it big time.
