Thomas Rhett<\/a> has righted a honky-tonk wrong with Niall Horan<\/a> by enlisting him to sing on a new version of \u201cOld Tricks.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOld Tricks\u201d was originally a duet with Blake Shelton recorded for the deluxe edition of Rhett\u2019s 2024 album, About a Woman <\/em>(out today, Oct. 17). Rhett happened to co-write \u201cOld Tricks\u201d (and much of About a Woman<\/em>) with two of Horan\u2019s closest friends and collaborators, the songwriters\/producers Julian Bunetta and John Ryan, who\u2019ve worked with Horan on his solo music<\/a>, as well as numerous One Direction albums<\/a>.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n In a statement, Horan said he was in the studio with Bunetta when he \u201caccidentally\u201d heard \u201cOld Tricks\u201d for the first time. \u201cIt came on and I was instantly hooked,\u201d Horan said. \u201cI told Thomas Rhett straight up I was gutted he didn\u2019t ask me to jump on it. I just loved everything about it, it\u2019s a proper country song.\u201d<\/p>\n Rhett, for his part, said, \u201cWe\u2019d talked about doing something together for a long time, but I never imagined it would be this song.\u201d He went on to reveal that Horan confronted him about the inadvertent sleight when they reunited at the Masters golf tournament earlier this year.<\/p>\n \u201c[O]ut of nowhere Niall goes, \u2018I\u2019m so mad you didn\u2019t ask me to sing on \u201cOld Tricks,\u2019\u201d Rhett said. \u201cI said, \u2018Man, you were the last person I would\u2019ve thought would even like this one!\u2019 He kept texting me about it after, and he knew all the words. With how fired up he was and his connection with Blake [through The Voice<\/em><\/a>], it felt like a full-circle moment and turned into something really fun. I\u2019m pumped it\u2019s finally out there and hope y\u2019all love it as much as we loved making it.\u201d<\/p>\n Of jumping on the song, Horan said, \u201cIt felt easy, natural, like it was always meant to happen. I\u2019m buzzing for people to finally hear.\u201d<\/p>\n While Rhett and Horan\u2019s version of \u201cOld Tricks\u201d is available as a loose single, the version with Shelton is one of nine new songs on the deluxe edition of About a Woman<\/em>. The expanded LP also features a new collaboration with Jordan Davis, \u201cAin\u2019t a Bad Life.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
