English singer, songwriter and actor, Harry Edward Styles came through with this impressive song he labeled “As It Was”.
The lead single from Harry’s upcoming third album Harry’s House, “As It Was” sees Styles singing in a somewhat sorrowful voice about his bittersweet feelings of loneliness and the past, masking it with synths and an upbeat sound reminiscent of music from the 80s.
In an interview, Styles describes the song as about “metamorphosis, embracing change and former self, perspective shift and all that kind of stuff.”
It just felt like the thing I wanted to say, the thing I wanted to be doing and the kind of music I wanted to make coming back.
It was followed by several teases through the You Are Home campaign and was first announced the song title and release date on March 28, 2022 with several visual shots from the Music Video.
Lyrics
Holdin’ me back Gravity’s holdin’ me back I want you to hold out the palm of your hand Why don’t we leave it at that? Nothin’ to say When everything gets in the way Seems you cannot be replaced And I’m the one who will stay, oh
In this world, it’s just us You know it’s not the same as it was In this world, it’s just us You know it’s not the same as it was As it was, as it was You know it’s not the same
Answer the phone “Harry, you’re no good alone Why are you sittin’ at home on the floor? What kind of pills are you on?” Ringin’ the bell And nobody’s comin’ to help Your daddy lives by himself He just wants to know that you’re well, oh
In this world, it’s just us You know it’s not the same as it was In this world, it’s just us You know it’s not the same as it was As it was, as it was You know it’s not the same
Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet I don’t wanna talk about the way that it was Leave America, two kids follow her I don’t wanna talk about who’s doin’ it first
As it was You know it’s not the same as it was As it was, as it was
