Harry Styles has released the official video for his song Daylight, which appears on his third solo album released in 2022, Harry’s House.
At his Lisbon Love on Tour show last night, the singer gave fans a sneak peak of the Daylight video on the screens just as he finished performing the show.
Fans are convinced the song is about Styles’s ex-girlfriend singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The pair started dating in March 2012 and were spotted in New York’s Central Park together. They were seen kissing in Times Square during the traditional festive ball dropping from the flagpole of One Times Square on New Year’s Eve, as well as jet-setting together across the globe to visit their respective families for the holidays. They split up in January 2013.
Last year, American broadcaster Howard Stern questioned Styles about fan theories that say that Daylight from Harry’s House was all about fellow singer Taylor Swift. The title of the single, which is the same as a song by his former flame from her 2019 album Lovers, is the cause of the rumours.
When the subject was brought up, Styles said: “You know I’d love to tell you you’re spot-on, but you’re not,” Harry said of the summery R&B jam. “We will always wonder.”
Harry’s House was released in May 2022 and features the âârecord-breaking Number One single and TikTok hit As It Was. According to the Official Charts Company, Styles has sold 60,000 copies of Harry’s House on vinyl since it came out – more than any other LP so far this year.
Styles’s second album Fine Line (2019) is the 27th biggest-selling full-length vinyl of 2022 and his 2017 self-titled debut came in at number 37.
Styles is in the midst of his Love On Tour and will be performing at RCF Arena in Italy on July 22 before moving on to Madison Square Garden in New York on September 1.
The video premiered at 5pm UK time on Wednesday, July 19.
