Overview
- The expanded Off Campus: The Mixtape (Extra Credit) was released the week of July 23–24 and includes a bonus duet — Track 21 — that adds Niall Horan’s vocals to Ella Bright’s cover of The Foundations’ “Baby Now That I Found You.”
- Island Records announced the addition with a pre-recorded video of Horan telling Bright she was about to hear “our version” and captured her stunned, joyful reaction as she listened for the first time.
- Ella Bright reacted on camera with surprise and excitement, calling the duet “beautiful” and celebrating that she now has a song with Horan, which the label posted alongside the new release.
- The song has narrative weight for fans because the track appears in key Hannah-and-Garrett scenes on Off Campus, giving the duet extra emotional resonance beyond its promotional value.
- The Extra Credit edition adds six tracks and other guest covers, a move by Island Records that follows a growing industry strategy of using surprise soundtrack releases to sustain streaming attention and spotlight artists; the duet is Horan’s first new release since his fourth album, Dinner Party, earlier this year.
