"Late Night Talking" was described as a "glossy R&B shifter" that fills "every available space with some or other moving part, right down to vocal parts mimicking brass".
The video, directed by Bradley and Pablo and released on 13 July 2022, finds Styles following a portal in his own bed that leads him to an array of other beds — one in an art gallery, another in a restaurant, a theatre, and another that speeds through the streets of London past Buckingham Palace. The clip also comes complete with a pillow fight and Styles officiating a bed-ridden wedding, before falling through the sky on his bed.
He performed a live version of the song on the Today Show on May 19, and also included the song in a set he performed for BBC Radio 1, along with "As It Was", "Boyfriends" and a cover of "Wet Dream" by Wet Leg on 24 May 2022.
Late Night Talking

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a haze on the horizon, babe
It's only been a couple of days
And I miss you, mm, yeah
When nothin' really goes to plan
You stub your toe or break your camera
I'll do everythin' I can
To help you through
If you're feelin' down
I just wanna make you happier, baby
Wish I was around
I just wanna make you happier, baby
We've been doin' all this late night talkin'
'Bout anythin' you want until the mornin'
Now you're in my life
I can't get you off my mind
I've never been a fan of change
But I'd follow you to any place
If it's Hollywood or Bishopsgate
I'm coming too
If you're feelin' down
I just wanna make you happier, baby
Wish I was around
I just wanna make you happier, baby
We've been doin' all this late night talkin'
'Bout anythin' you want until the mornin'
Now you're in my life
I can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind (can't get you off my mind)
I won't even try (I won't even try)
To get you off my mind (get you off my mind)
We've been doin' all this late night talkin'
'Bout anythin' you want until the mornin'
Now you're in my life
I can't get you off my mind
Can't get you off my mind (all this late night talkin')
Can't get you off my mind (all this late night talkin')
I won't even try (all this late night talkin')
Can't get you off my
All this late night talkin'
"Late Night Talking" is a song by Harry Styles that speaks of a time when things aren't going exactly as planned and the need for comfort from someone special. It is a song about longing and missing someone who isn't around, but also about the willingness to do anything to make them happier. The song is about the start of a new relationship, when everything is still new and exciting. Styles sings about how he's been doing all this late-night talking with this person, meaning they can talk about anything until the early hours of the morning. He finds it impossible to get the person off his mind, even though they’re not physically there with him.
Styles sings about things not being quite the same anymore, indicating that something may have changed in their relationship or life. He mentions a haze on the horizon, symbolizing uncertainty or trouble, but he still misses the person. The line “I’ve never been a fan of change, but I’d follow you to any place” shows how much he’s willing to do for the person he’s singing about, even if it isn’t his normal behavior. The chorus is a repetition of his desire to make the person happier, no matter what it takes. The final repetition of “all this late-night talkin’” emphasizes the intimacy and connection between the two people and how it has affected him.

All the deep conversations we have been having late into the night
