What are Niall Horan's explicit 'Tastes So Good' lyrics about? Here's how Niall explained the meaning behind the sexy 'Dinner Party' song.

It's no surprise Niall Horan's fan base are called the Lovers when his fourth solo album Dinner Party is full of so many songs bursting with love.

And while Niall may have kicked this era off on the more wholesome side with 'Dinner Party', a song about meeting his girlfriend Amelia (Mia) Woolley at a literal dinner party, he's taking us into a new territory with his song 'Tastes So Good'.

'Tastes So Good' - along with 'Monochromatic' - includes some of Niall's most sexy lyrics to date. But what are the lyrics and what do they mean? Here's what Niall's said himself...

What are Niall Horan's 'Tastes So Good' lyrics about?

The lyrics to 'Tastes So Good' are not only about loving the taste of being intimate with someone, it's also about being utterly obsessed with that person.

He sings: I freeze when you're not swimming in my bloodstream, Not in my pocket with my car keys, Got me exactly where you want me, Exactly where you want me.

This is him referring to the feeling of needing to be close to the person at all times, and without them feeling incapable of performing daily tasks. In the chorus you hear that when he sings: Can't take another breath without you, Can't walk down the street.

However, Niall has opened up about the explicit meaning of the lyrics. Speaking on the Zach Sang Show, he said: "Tastes So Good and Monochromatic are probably on the sexier side of things. A bit more detail..."

On the lyrics I don't know what you're made of, But it tastes so good to me Niall said: "I like that. I don't know what you're made out of, you're made out of something, but it's pretty cool and it tastes good."

He gave a little smirk, almost definitely confirming that this song isn't just about kissing... (Think like Sabrina Carpenter's 'Taste')

Niall Horan - 'Tastes So Good' lyrics

VERSE 1
I freeze when you're not swimming in my bloodstream
Not in my pocket with my car keys
Got me exactly where you want me
Exactly where you want me

CHORUS
Can't take another breath without you
Can't walk down the street
No, I don't know what you're made of
But it tastes so good to me
When my legs are not wrapped around you
No, I can't fall asleep
No, I don't know what you're made of
But it tastes so good to me

VERSE 2
Pathetically, I look in places that you'd never be
Perfectly torturing me physically, simply
A voice is up in my mind
Saying just draw the line, every night

CHORUS
Can't take another breath without you
Can't walk down the street
No, I don't know what you're made of
But it tastes so good to me
When my legs are not wrapped around you
No, I can't fall asleep
No, I don't know what you're made of
But it tastes so good to me
It tastes so good to me

BRIDGE
Controlling my body, starving my brain
I no longer wonder if I'm still the same
I want you to leave, but I want you to stay

CHORUS
Can't take another breath without you
Can't walk down the street
No, I don't know what you're made of
But it tastes so good to me
When my legs are not wrapped around you
No, I can't fall asleep
No, I don't know what you're made of
But it tastes so good to me
It tastes so good to me
