Singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld dropped her new song "Wrong Direction" on Wednesday that has fans speculating it's all about her ex Niall Horan.

"Wrong Direction," which is a somber ballad, touches upon broken hearts, massive egos and infidelity.

"Looking back I probably should have known / But I just wanted to believe that you were out sleeping alone,” sings a wistful Steinfeld.

The "Pitch Perfect" star also muses about not being able to reach her ex-lover's ego despite "standing on my tiptoes," before revealing, "Everyone thinks that you're somebody else/ You even convinced yourself."
