Harry Styles Spilled The Deets On Some 'Fine Line' Songs In New Tiny Desk Concert

Harry Styles's latest chapter in the book of Fine Line involves an in-depth Tiny Desk Concert for NPR. This four-song show features Styles explaining the processes beyond some of his newest tunes, giving us an idea of how Fine Line came together.





Styles opened the show with a folk-adjacent run of "Cherry." With his guitar decorated with the night time sky, the efficiency felt like soothing next to a dying campfire under the stars.


"The next song that I'm planning to play for you, I actually wrote in 2017 If I was on the tour for the opening album," Styles mentioned immediately after "Cherry" was over and he swapped guitars to play "Watermelon Sugar." "I was in Nashville on my day off and we went to the studio to play around for a little. It's probably the longest that it's ever taken me to finish a song. I sort of fancied it once we first had it and then I hated it for a long time."


"It's sort of about that beginning euphoria of while you begin seeing someone, or sleeping with someone, or being around someone and also you have that excitement, you know," he continued before trailing off into a smile. Then he plucked the strings to start the arousing tune, belting to the skies about his horny happiness.


Water break time!


Immediately after refueling, Styles explained how "To Be So Lonely" came to be. "(For the album) this next song was one of the opening, all-night, through-the-night, songs that we did," he said. "On the record, it's been one of my preferred songs to work on." A warm efficiency of the tune began with him smiling as he mentioned everyone's preference line: "And I’m just an arrogant son of a bitch."


For his last tune, Styles picked "Adore You." "I had a fish and I just really admired it, and that's sort of the entire story for this song really," he joked. "It's sort of similar to what 'Watermelon Sugar' is about — that beginning excitement of meeting someone." Shoulders bopped around the stage as Styles got into its full swing. Appreciate You" ended with Styles thanking the audience profusely for the experience.
