Months later, Styles signed a solo deal with Columbia Records. Reflecting the influence of childhood favorites like Queen, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, Freddy Mercury, and The Beatles, Styles' solo material took a more serious and rock-based approach, while still delivering the pop sound his faithful 1D fans desired. With the help of Grammy-winning producer Jeff Bhasker (who had worked with Kanye West and Bruno Mars), Styles put together a small band and, after rehearsing the songs, headed to Jamaica for two months to record an album. "Sign of the Times", a plaintive ballad, was released as its first single in April 2017. The self-titled full-length album Harry Styles followed in May and debuted at the top of the Billboard 200. After two world tours, Harry set to write his sophomore album Fine Line, releasing the hit songs "Lights Up", "Watermelon Sugar" and "Adore You" as the singles.
Fine Line was released on 13 December 2019 by Columbia and Erskine Records. On March 14, 2021, Harry received the Grammy Award for Best Pop Solo Performance for "Watermelon Sugar" at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. He was also nominated for Best Music Video with "Adore You" and for Best Pop Vocal Album for his "Fine Line" album. In May of the same year, Styles also won the Brit Award for British Single for "Watermelon Sugar".
On May 20, 2022, Styles released his third studio album, titled Harry’s House. Its promotional single "As It Was" went on to break world records and earn Styles the title (male) for the most-streamed track on Spotify in 24 hours.

Harry Styles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was just a little boy
Don't blame the drunk caller
Wasn't ready for it all
You can't blame me, darling
Not even a little bit
I was away
And I'm just an arrogant son of a bitch
Don't call me "baby" again
You got your reasons
I know that you're tryna be friends
I know you mean it
But don't call me "baby" again
It's hard for me to go home
Be so lonely
I just hope you see me
In a little better light
Do you think it's easy
Being of the jealous kind?
'Cause I miss the shape of your lips
Your wit
It's just a trick
And this is it, so I'm sorry
Don't call me "baby" again
You got your reasons
I know that you're tryna be friends
I know you mean it
But don't call me "baby" again
It's hard for me to go home
Be so lonely
To be so lonely
To be so
To be so lonely
To be so lonely
To be so
To be so lonely
And I'm just an arrogant son of a bitch
Who can't admit when he's sorry
Don't call me "baby" again
You got your reasons
I know that you're tryna be friends
I know you mean it
But don't call me "baby" again
It's hard for me to go home
And be so lonely
To be so lonely
To be so
To be so lonely
To be so lonely
To be so
To be so lonely
The lyrics of Harry Styles’s song To Be So Lonely depicts a story of a love relationship that has come to an end, where the singer is having a hard time dealing with the loneliness that comes after the separation. The song goes on to address the singer’s inability to take responsibility for his actions that led to the breakup. He blames it on being young and arrogant and refusing to admit when he’s wrong. However, he still longs for his ex-lover’s affection and cannot help but feel envious of the attention she gives to other people. He wishes that she would see him in a better light, and perhaps he could still have a chance with her, but he also understands that the damage has been done and the two are better off being friends for now. The song concludes with the recurring phrase “To be so lonely,” which emphasizes the pain that the singer is experiencing.
The somber tone of the song is highlighted by Harry Styles’s high-pitched, echoey vocals, which evoke a sense of sadness and longing. The song’s slow tempo, coupled with the use of acoustic guitar, drum machine, and synth, creates a dreamy ambiance that complements the melancholic lyrics. Overall, the lyrics and musical arrangement come together to deliver a heartfelt and relatable tune that captures the pain of separation and loneliness.

" To go home and be so lonely "
" You bring me home "
“ But it felt nothing like home coz you’re not home “
“ in two weeks I’ll be home “ or something like this in canyon moon
“Maybe one day you’ll call me and tell me that you’re sorry too “
" I'm sorry that I hurt u , darling "
" You can't blame me, darling "
“Come so far from princess park “
“ Two hearts in one home “
“ I was just a little boy “
“ We were too young “
“ I can’t believe I gave into the pressure “
“ he’s broken , i hope one day you’ll open I know that you’re scared because I’m so open “ in Golden
I could go on for Hours and Hours but it hurts af
