He released his first solo album in 2017. The self-titled album topped the charts in the U.S. and UK, went five times platinum, and featured “Sign of the Times,” a #1 hit in the UK and a top-five hit in the U.S. His next album, Fine Line was released in 2019. It topped the charts in the U.S. and went three times platinum. The singles “Lights Up” and “Adore You” both reached the top ten in the UK. The fourth single, “Watermelon Sugar,” gave Styles his first trip to the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 as a solo artist or with a group. The song mixes elements of rock, funk, indie pop, and soul. The song uses fruit and summer as metaphors for a sexual experience. WK Styles specifically said it was about “that initial euphoria of when you start seeing someone, or sleeping with someone, or being around someone and you have that excitement.” SF He’s also said the song is about female orgasms. WK It has been speculated that the song is about Camille Rowe, a model who dated Harry in 2017 and ’18. In an interview with Elle magazine in 2017, she said that “Richard Brautigan’s post-apolcalyptic novel In Watermelon Sugar is one of her favorite books.” SF Resources:
