Listen along to this article!

Harry is releasing new music this week, and revisiting his discography feels like stepping through chapters of my own life. There was the breakup soundtracked by Falling, the summer that belonged entirely to As It Was, and all the in-between moments where his music felt both comforting and nostalgic. With a new era on the horizon in Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally, it feels like the perfect time to look back at how we got here.

Harry Styles Released 12 May 2017

Meet Me in the Hallway opens the album with a sombre, slow track that conveys pain and longing. Sign of the Times delves deeper, exploring grief and the pain of abandonment, as well as the struggle to confront these emotions. Carolina is a playful love song about Townes Adair Jones. In Harry Styles: Behind the Album, when asked if the person knows the song is about them, he says, “Her name’s in it, so I’m a bit fucked with that one.” The lyrics, “How would I tell her that she's all I think about?  Well, I guess she just found out, also reflects this. Two Ghosts reflects not on a breakup, but on drifting apart. It expresses the pain of growing distant from someone who once meant everything. Sweet Creature is a delicate song about the person who grounds you, highlighted by the lyric, “You bring me home.” Only Angel starts with a delicate intro that feels like a starry night or a walk through an art gallery, but the song itself is bold and sexy, not subtle. It also nods to the album’s opening song with the line, “End up meetin' in the hallway every single time.” Kiwi maintains an energetic, upbeat feel. When the chorus explodes, it's as if the arena lights pulse with every drumbeat, and the crowd surges forward, singing and jumping so hard the floor vibrates. Sweat is in the air, and everyone is united by the riot of guitar and Harry’s electrifying delivery. Despite lyrics about a toxic relationship, the lively rhythm and his performance make it impossible not to get swept up in the fun. Ever since, New York is an honest and vulnerable track, inspired by Harry receiving difficult news about a family member while in a Brooklyn hotel. The lyrics and delivery reflect how this experience shifted his perspective. Woman opens with the memorable line: “Should we just search romantic comedies on Netflix and then see what we find?” Like Kiwi, it addresses a toxic relationship, serving as a sequel that explores its aftermath. “Apologies are never gonna fix this.” From the Dining Table explores profound isolation and loneliness, as in the lyric, “Even my phone misses your call, by the way.” Its sombre tone and melancholic lyrics convey the pain of heartbreak and seeing a loved one move on.

Fine Line 13 December 2019

Golden is an energetic opener, though its lyrics reveal heartbreak over two partners being in different places in their relationship. Lines such as “And I know that you're scared because I'm so open” and “I know that you're scared because hearts get broken” have resonated deeply with Styles’ queer fans, reflecting the challenges of one partner being out while the other is not. Watermelon Sugar is a playful track about the sweetness of life, with underlying references to intimacy and the initial excitement that comes with it. Adore You is a unique love song that captures a deep sense of affection and devotion. It expresses the lengths Harry would go to cherish and protect an all-encompassing love. Lights Up, much like Golden, was well-loved by his queer fans. “Lights up, and they know who you are. Know who you are. Do you know who you are?“ The track’s release coincided with National Coming Out Day, which added to this delicacy. The bridge mirrors the emotional crescendo of coming out, both sonically and emotionally. As the song swells, soft synths and layered harmonies lift the track into its luminous chorus, echoing the tension and vulnerability of disclosure. The beat pulses and the voices rise, capturing that moment of hesitation just before stepping into the light. Then, as the chorus breaks through, you feel a sense of release and relief, like the moment when you are fully seen and accepted for who you are. “Shine, step into the light. Shine, so bright sometimes. Shine, I'm not ever going back“ Cherry opens delicately, evoking a sense of nostalgia and artistry, which is echoed in the lyric, “Does he take you walking 'round his parents' gallery?” Despite its poetic atmosphere, the song’s lyrics are deeply heartbreaking, culminating in the memorable voicemail ending. Falling is the album’s most delicate and melancholic track, expressing feelings of isolation and longing. The line, “And I get the feeling that you'll never need me again,” encapsulates its emotional depth. To Be So Lonely continues the theme of isolation and self-reflection, delivered in a folk-inspired style. The lyric, “Don’t blame the drunk caller,” highlights its vulnerability. She is an elaborate daydream about the woman the narrator longs for. Another interpretation has emerged among queer fans, who relate it to experiences of realising they are trans. The bridge, [Bridge] Lives for the memory A woman who's just in his head (Just in his head). She sleeps in his bed (His bed) while he plays pretend (Pretend). So pretend (Pretend) has become especially meaningful. Whether viewed through Harry's original context or this perspective, the song remains deeply moving. Sunflower, Vol. 6 features delicate lyrics and melody, with lines such as “I couldn't want you any more, kiss in the kitchen like it's a dance floor,” “Tired eyes are the death of me,” and “I've got your face hung up high in the gallery.” It feels like a tender love song for a partner affectionately nicknamed Sunflower. Canyon Moon is an upbeat track about returning to your hometown after a long absence, capturing the comfort of familiar surroundings. It evokes a similar feeling to Ed Sheeran’s Castle on the Hill, but with a more optimistic tone. Treat People With Kindness has become a signature phrase among Harry’s fans, with many choosing to commemorate it with TPWK tattoos. The song celebrates love, kindness, acceptance, and belonging, encouraging listeners to embrace positivity and joy. These themes connect the slogan to a broader history of kindness campaigns, echoing earlier pop music anthems that promoted acceptance and social change, such as the messages behind The Beatles' 'All You Need Is Love' and Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way.' By linking TPWK to this tradition of music as a vehicle for social activism, Harry’s message feels both timely and rooted in a legacy of artists who have used their platforms to inspire compassion.

Fine Line is about embracing both life's highs and lows, with the reminder that you will be okay. The song suggests that real beauty exists in the delicate balance between joy and pain it's that fine line we walk between surviving and thriving. In just one phrase: sometimes the truest happiness comes from learning to live in the in-between.

Harry’s House Released 20 May 2022

Music for a Sushi Restaurant, as the title suggests, is a song about going to a sushi restaurant and hearing a song that didn't fit the environment. Harry then wrote a song for a sushi restaurant (or whatever you want) from this. Late Night Talking is a playful track that resembles a phone conversation, capturing the deep comfort and closeness found in a committed relationship. Grapejuice is a bright, uplifting love song that evokes the warmth and ease of a joyful day. As It Was is the catchiest song of the summer and also the loudest on tour. When Harry reaches the "Leave America" bridge, a sea of fans leaps into the air as one, the whole stadium echoing his words in a chorus so loud you can feel the vibration beneath your feet. Glittering confetti rains down, and for a moment, every voice is united, creating pure electricity. The voicenote at the start is absolutely adorable, and the second you hear it, you feel the excitement hit you of what song is about to play! Daylight is a delicate song that offers another perspective on the devoted narrator introduced in Late Night Talking. Little Freak is delicate in its sound and sad in its lyrics and themes of a love slipping through one’s fingers. Matilda is the most devastating song in his discography. In the song, Harry sings somberly to someone whose family mistreated her. He draws inspiration from the Roald Dahl book Matilda and its movie adaptation, about a girl with telekinesis who is mistreated by her principal and parents. The song reinforces a common theme of the album: home is not a place but a state of mind. Your family may not be your home, but Harry’s home is where he is surrounded by love and feels most himself. It makes the listener reflect on what home is for them. Cinema is a very upbeat track about getting intimate with someone. Daydreaming is a lively song about savouring the best moments of being in love. Keep Driving becomes a mantra: the world, our relationship, it's all falling apart, but what is there to do except sit in this uncomfortableness and keep trying? It's as if we're on a long road trip together, watching smoke rising on the horizon and passing a car stalled on the shoulder, reminders that trouble is close by and we can't ignore it forever. Still, we choose to keep moving forward, hoping the road will eventually clear. Satellite addresses the breakdown of communication, using the metaphor of floating in space while waiting for contact. On “Boyfriends,” Harry Styles reflects on how many boyfriends mistreat their partners, exploring the dynamics of troubled relationships. Love of My Life is an upbeat confession of love that closes the album on a bittersweet note.

From heartbreak to healing, from arena anthems to kitchen-dance-floor love songs, Harry’s discography has traced growing up in real time. With Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally arriving this week, it feels like we are about to step into the next room of the house he has been building all along.
