Harry Styles Releases New Single
January 23, 2026 1:13 pmVerse 1
Take no prisoners for me
I’m told you’re elevating
Drinks go straight to my knees
I’m sold, I’m going on clean
I’m going on clean
Verse 2
I’ve no more tricks up my sleeve
Game called review the player
Time codes and Tokyo scenes
Bad boys, it’s complicated
It’s complicated
Pre-Chorus
It’s best you know what you don’t
Aperture lets the light in
It’s best you know what you don’t
Aperture lets the light in
Chorus
We belong together
It finally appears it’s only love
We belong togethеr
We belong togethеr
It finally appears it’s only love
We belong together
Verse 3
In no good state to receive
Go forth, ask questions later
Trap doors, you’re toying with me
Dance halls, another cadence
Pre-Chorus
It’s best you know what you don’t
Aperture lets the light in
Chorus
We belong together
It finally appears it’s only love
We belong together
It finally appears
We belong together
It finally appears it’s only love
We belong together
Bridge
I won’t stray from it
I don’t know these spaces
Time won’t wait on me
I wanna know what safe is
I won’t stray from it
I don’t know these spaces
Time won’t wait on me
I won’t stray from it
I don’t know these spaces
Time won’t wait on me
I wanna know what safe is
I won’t stray from it
I don’t know these spaces
Time won’t wait on me
Chorus
We belong together
It finally appears it’s only love
We belong together
It finally appears
We belong together
It finally appears it’s only love
We belong together
Harry Styles just released a brand new song. “Aperture”. It’s the first single from Harry in three years.
It’s the first track off of his upcoming fourth album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally — set for release on March 6.
In addition to new music, Harry also announced a seven-city residency titled Together, Together. Starting in May 2026, he will perform at 50 cities all around the world, including 30 shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
“Aperture” reflects the experience he hopes fans will have with his upcoming album and tour.
Harry says, “I just want them to come ready to dance. I want them to come ready to be with their friends, close their eyes, open their eyes, dance, let it go and be whatever and whoever they are in that moment. And I think it’s going to be fun and I’ll be right there with them.”
So what does “Aperture” mean?
Here’s everything to know about the inspiration behind Harry Styles’ latest single.
What does aperture mean? – It’s a term used in photography. Aperture refers to a camera setting that controls how much light neters the lens, affecting an image’s brightness and depth of field. It can also mean “an opening, hole, or gap” according to the Oxford dictionary.
In an interview with Capital Breakfast, Harry explained that “Aperture” was inspired by the adventures he had while taking a much-needed break from touring.
“I’d got really used to saying no to things because I just wasn’t able to go,” he explained. “Last year, I just had a real start of the year where I was like, ‘I’m going to say yes to everything this year.’ “
During that time, he traveled to places like Ibiza, Italy and Berlin, where he experienced “being on the other side of the audience experience.” That feeling of “going out” influenced the sound behind the track.
“It’s just been like a massive reminder of how special it is to be in a crowd experiencing live music, be in like a dark pit with people dancing,” he said, adding that the new music he was hearing started influencing the music he was making. “The goal was to make an album that I could enjoy playing as much as I enjoyed making it.”
