Harry Styles's Ex-Girlfriend's 'Cherry' Verse Is Actually Very Sweet

Harry Styles's sophomore solo album Fine Line has only been out for a number of hours for now, however already, there really are a couple of standout tracks that fans can't stop chatting about on social media. Among them is "Cherry" — a song that includes a romantic, French voicemail from the "Lights Up" crooner's ex-girlfriend, Camille Rowe. And in case you hope to know what her verse means in English language, you've come to the correct place.


The song starts with Rowe greeting Styles in French. "Coucou," she says, friendly and warm. However soon, it's clear that this isn't a song about two people in love. As an alternative, it's about what happened immediately after, once he and Rowe broke up and she inevitably noticed happiness with someone else. "I confess I can tell that you are at your best," he sings, acknowledging that she's moved on. "I'm selfish so I'm hating it."


After pleading with her over a number of choruses to not call her new man "baby," Rowe's voicemail cuts in. And though her soft-spoken French sounds pretty and sweet, it's even sweeter as soon as you realize what it is that she's saying.

“Hello! Are you asleep?”

“Oh, I’m sorry…”

“Well, no… No, it’s not important”

“Well… We went to the beach and we…”

“Perfect, Harry.”

Not only does Rowe's voicemail give the track a more personalized touch, however it's also a reminder of how much their year-long relationship, which occurred between 2017 and 2018, really meant to him. And while it clearly hurt him to be able to see his ex happy with someone else, holding onto those sweet words were his way of showing the world what he felt he lost as soon as the couple ultimately determined to call it quits.


Although fans can't stop talking about "Cherry," it's just one of several fan favorites from Fine Line. A fast Twitter search will reveal that Harries are also loving "Falling," "Sunflower, Vol. 6," "She," and well, pretty much complete LP. In case you haven't already, be sure to set aside time to listen to Fine Line in its entirety. Trust us, it's worth it.
