Dan + Shay's Cover of Niall Horan's "Slow Hands" is a Match Made in Voice Heaven

The Season 25 Coaches have lots of love for their fellow Coach's smash hit.

By Jessica White

Duo Dan + Shay (Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney) will soon make history as they take a seat in a custom double red chair as the first-ever Coaching duo on The Voice Season 25. Dan + Shay will have double the advantage as they duke it out against Reba McEntire and John Legend, and Chance the Rapper, but the three-time Grammy winners have nothing but love for their fellow coaches.

How to Watch

Watch The Voice Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock. 

Case in point: Dan + Shay's acoustic rendition of Coach Niall Horan's chart-topping single, "Slow Hands." In 2017 they released their take of Horan's track on their official Youtube page. The Season 25 Voice Coaches sounded downright angelic from beginning to end, effortlessly harmonizing throughout Horan's edgy love ballad. Dan + Shay's rustic timbre and Horan's catchy lyricism combine to create an energizing and refreshing performance.

Watch Dan + Shay's rousing rendition of Horan's smash single, below:

What to know about Niall Horan's "Slow Hands"

Horan's "Slow Hands" was the second single released on his debut solo album Flicker in 2017. "Slow Hands" charted at #11 on the Billboard's Hot 100. And if you thought Dan + Shay are the only members of The Voice family that love Horan, you'd be incorrect. Parker McKay tore down the house during The Voice Season 21 with her soulful take on the Horan single for the Blind Auditions, skyrocketing to the next stage of the competition. Horan knows how to create a catchy tune! 

The lyrics to "Slow Hands" by Niall Horan

"We should take this back to my place"
That's what she said right to my face
'Cause I want you bad
Yeah, I want you, baby
I've been thinking 'bout it all day
And I hope you feel the same way, yeah
'Cause I want you bad
Yeah, I want you, baby

Slow, slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I'm leaving here without you on me
I, I know
Yeah, I already know that there ain't no stoppin'
Your plans and those
Slow hands (woo)
Slow hands

I just wanna take my time
We could do this, baby, all night, yeah
'Cause I want you bad
Yeah, I want you, baby

Fingertips puttin' on a show
Got me now and I can't say no
Wanna be with you all alone
Take me home, take me home
Fingertips puttin' on a show
Can't you tell that I want you, baby, yeah

Slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I'm leaving here without you on me
I, I know
Yeah, I already know that there ain't no stoppin'
Slow hands
Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry
No, no chance
That I'm leaving here without you on me
I, I know
Yeah, I already know that there ain't no stoppin'
Your plans and those slow hands (woo)
