However, it's 'Late Night Talking' that's really got the internet talking and it looks like it was written about Harry's girlfriend.

Who are Harry Styles' Late Night Talking lyrics about?

Harry first unveiled 'Late Night Talking' at his Coachella set in April and it wasn't long before fans connected the lyrics to his girlfriend Olivia Wilde. The song is about when you first start seeing someone and you can't get enough of them. In the first verse, Harry sings: "It's only been a couple of days and I miss you, oh, yeah / And nothing really goes to plan."

Harry then makes clear exactly how infatuated he is with the subject of his affection in the chorus. He sings: "We've been doing all this late night talking / 'Bout anything you want until the morning / Now you're in my life / I can't get you off my mind."

While the lyrics could be about anyone, there appear to be a few key references to Olivia in the song. Harry sings: "You stub your toe or break your camera." Given that Olivia is a film director, it's possible that the "camera" is a nod to her career and something that happened in their relationship. Harry, of course, stars in Olivia's upcoming film Don't Worry Darling.

Harry also sings: "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." Considering that Harry and Olivia spend much of their lives between Hollywood, for their film careers, and Bishopsgate, where Harry lives in London, it wouldn't be a stretch to guess that this lyric is about Olivia too.

Reacting to the song on Twitter, one fan wrote: "Knowing Harry wrote late night talking for olivia and getting to sing it to her at coachella is so wholesome." Another added: "Listening to the lyrics to late night talking closely and it just clicked that it might be abt Olivia…."

As it stands, Harry is yet to confirm exactly who inspired the song. We shall update you if he does.

VERSE 1
Things haven't been quite the same
There's a haze on the horizon, baby
It's only been a couple of days and I miss you, oh, yeah
And nothing really goes to plan
You stub your toe or break your camera
I'd do everything I can to help you through, yeah

PRE-CHORUS
If you're feeling down, I just wanna make you happier, baby
Wish I was around, I just wanna make you happier, baby

We've been doing all this late night talking
'Bout anything you want until the morning
Now you're in my life
I can't get you off my mind
