Time To Speculate Over Harry Styles' New Track List
Who the f*ck is Carla?
When we published our Most Anticipated Albums of the Year list a few weeks ago, we never once considered the possibility of a new Harry Styles project in 2026. Yet here we are, less than a month into the new year, and Styles’ return is all but imminent.
If you haven’t been paying attention, the 31-year-old pop star quietly began teasing a comeback earlier this week, convincing fans that a new album is on the way. On Jan. 15, Styles confirmed suspicions that his fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. arrives on March 6.
For a recap of the rollout, keep scrolling.
The Video That Started It All
Just when fans had clocked out of their shift at the stan factory for the holidays, the former One Directioner published a surprise video via YouTube on Dec. 27 titled “Forever, Forever.” The eight-minute long film features footage from the last night of Styles’ 2023 tour Love On Tour, including a moving performance of an instrumental piano ballad that Styles had written for the Italian audience, and concludes with a message written in all caps: “We Belong Together.” Either he’s a really big Mariah Carey fan, or this is Styles’ way of laying the groundwork for a new era.
The Promo Begins
The streets are abuzz with word of a new Harry Styles album — literally. On Jan. 12, cryptic posters with the phrase “We Belong Together” began popping up in such cities as NYC, Palermo, São Paulo, and Berlin. Each poster directs you to a website of the same name, with the fliers claiming “It’s All Waiting There.” Nothing beyond the same “We Belong Together” message superimposed over a visual of an adoring crowd has been posted to the website, but watch this space. (FWIW, the only thing currently on Styles’ artist website is a large arrow pointing down to a “Sign Up” box).
Until we get confirmation from the “As It Was” singer himself, it’s important to curb expectations and remember that this doesn’t automatically guarantee a new album is on the way. He could be hinting at a tour documentary, a live album, or a secret third thing — though if we’re being honest, we’re crossing our fingers for a new Styles era just as much as you are.
The Confirmation We’ve Been Waiting For
On Jan. 15, Styles confirmed that his fourth studio album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. is officially on the way. The project is set to arrive on March 6, with limited edition vinyls, CDs, and box sets available now for pre-order.
Included in the announcement was a photo of the album covers, which sees the former boy bander standing outside at dusk, illuminated by a disco ball.
The album, which was executively produced by Kid Harpoon, will have no features, per Styles. Given the obvious nods to disco, it seems like Styles is leaning further into the pop/disco sound of his last album Harry’s House, and moving away from the pop/rock aesthetics that shaped Fine Line and Harry Styles.
Let The Light In
The “Watermelon Sugar” singer released the album’s lead single “Aperture” on Jan. 22, followed by the accompanying music video on Jan. 23. Surprisingly, the visual does not take place at a club, but at a hotel where Styles is followed by a stranger who seemingly wants to hunt him down. They wrestle at first, but the two end up dancing, jumping, and backflipping through the halls all night long, only to part ways in the morning as if nothing ever happened.
We Have A Track List
Styles confirmed the track list on Jan. 23, with “Aperture” kicking off the project. See below for the full track list:
- “Aperture”
- “American Girls”
- “Ready, Steady, Go!”
- “Are You Listening Yet?”
- “Taste Back”
- “The Waiting Game”
- “Season 2 Weight Loss”
- “Coming Up Roses”
- “Pop”
- “Dance No More”
- “Paint By Numbers”
- “Carla’s Song”
IDK about you, but I’ve got my eyes on track 12. And track two has to be an ode to Zoë Kravitz, no? Guess we’ll have to wait until March 6 to find out.
