Harry Styles' As It Was: New single from Harry's House release date, video stills and more

Harry Styles has welcomed us into Harry's House with new single As It Was. 

The lead single from Harry's third solo album dropped last night, accompanied by a music video which sees Harry - sequined red jumpsuit and all - lark about in the Barbican of all places.

The track itself is a luscious indie-rock set-piece, quick and sharp at just under 3 minutes. It sees Harry dreaming of the past and facing up to some of the personal challenges he seems to have faced during the pandemic. 

"Holding me back, gravity's holding me back," he sings in the opening. "I want you to hold out the palm of your hand. Why don't we leave it at that?"

And for those of you wondering, the voice you hear at the very beginning of the song, it belongs to Harry's godchild Ruby Winston, daughter of Ben Winston, a very old friend of Harry dating back to his One Direction days (who actually let him stay in his house).
