Harry's house moves away from the previous albums' classic rock and allows us to take a peek at Harry's home. It feels lighter, more intimate and also a little bit removed, as if the feelings he describes were far away. Maybe that is just a symptom of the pandemic, or perhaps the singer has finally achieved a level of maturity that will allow him to leave his boy band years behind. In any case, this album moves mostly between pop and funk, and has a vibe similar to that of "Sunflower Vol. 6". If you were hoping for a "Falling" style ballad or the new "Watermelon sugar", this is definitely not the place for you. The record was produced and co-written with Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson, both of whom have previously collaborated with Styles, and you can expect appearances by John Mayer and Ben Harper.

The first and only single, "As it was", has already made it to the TikTok hall of fame and the theories discussing the song's (not so) ambiguous lyrics are not few. Some talk of a familial story, others link it to Styles' claimed girlfriend and movie director Olivia Wilde, and few refer back to the theories of a romantic relationship between Styles and his One Direction partner Louis Tomlinson. In any case, "As it was" uses a dancy beat and cheerful bells to discuss a feeling that can only be described as loneliness.

What ties all the tracks together may be the use of synthesizer, drums and brass to create a style that reminds us of 70s - 80s pop. From "Music for a sushi restaurant", which feels like a movie's opening credits, to "Love of my life", in which the singer expresses all his regret about a past relationship gone wrong, Styles guides us through a chill and nostalgic universe, full of food references ("toast for two", "green eyes, fried rice", "you're sweet ice cream") and a few mentions of drugs ("science and edibles", "cocaine, side boob", "you were just doing cocaine in my kitchen").
