Top 10 Best Songs by Harry Styles

His debut single, and immediately his magnum opus. A power ballad of nearly six minutes that recalls David Bowie and Queen. The piano is stately and mournful. When the guitars and drums kick in and Harry reaches the falsettos, you feel the apocalyptic weight. It's about saying goodbye in difficult times. Grand, epic and unforgettable.

A deceptively upbeat song. The synthesizer riff is energetic and fast, but the lyrics are about loneliness, change and depression. "You know it's not the same as it was." That line resonates with everyone. The drums chase the song forward, as if running away from your feelings. A masterpiece of melancholy wrapped as a dance track.

The ultimate summer hit. The horn section is euphoric and the melody is so catchy you can't get it out of your head after hearing it once. It's sultry, suggestive and celebrates life (and other pleasures). The atmosphere is languid and sticky, like a hot July afternoon. A song that has become synonymous with sun and freedom.

Harry at the piano, vulnerable and honest. It's about the fear of becoming someone you don't want to be, and the pain of a broken relationship. His voice cracks and breaks at the right moments. The lyrics are raw: "What am I now? What if I'm someone I don't want around?" A beautiful, intimate moment of self-reflection.

A perfectly polished pop song with a funky bass line and a dreamy chorus. The production is smooth and spacious. It's about unconditional surrender in love. Harry sings with a yearning voice that never becomes desperate, but rather self-assured. A modern classic that dominated radios worldwide.

More of a mantra than a pop song. It has a gospel-like feel, complete with choirs and hand-clapping. It radiates positivity. The message is simple but powerful. The music is theatrical and almost musical-like. It's a song meant to bring people together and get them dancing without embarrassment.

The sound of the California sun. The background vocals ("da-da-da") work hypnotically and the guitars sparkle. It's the perfect song for a road trip with the top down. Under the cheerful melody lies a layer of melancholy and fear of losing something beautiful. That double layer makes it typically Harry: shining, but with depth.

A retro pop song that sounds like it's from the eighties. The synthesizers are warm and the beat is relaxed. It's about the intimacy of conversations that last until sunrise. Harry sounds in love and comfortable. It's a "feel good" song that makes you feel that everything will be alright, as long as you're together.

Harry goes hard rock. A dirty guitar riff, pounding drums and lyrics that make no sense but are delightfully cheeky. "I'm having your baby, it's none of your business." It's a chaotic, sweaty club track where he completely sheds his good boy image. Live, this song routinely creates moshpits and total mayhem.

An explosion of horns and funk. This song is pure energy and fun. The bass line is fat and driving, and Harry uses his voice as an instrument full of scat sounds. It sounds like a modern Prince track: playful, sexy and irresistibly danceable. A perfect opener that immediately puts a smile on your face.
