Harry Styles has confirmed the title and release date of the first single from his much-anticipated new album, officially launching the next chapter of his solo career. On social media, the singer announced “Aperture. Jan 23, 00:00 UK,” revealing that the lead track from his forthcoming fourth studio album will drop at midnight in the UK on January 23rd.
The single, Aperture, serves as the first musical glimpse of Styles’ new body of work following a four-year gap since his critically acclaimed 2022 record Harry’s House. Fans have been eagerly awaiting fresh material as the British singer approaches the next stage of his solo evolution.
Ahead of the single’s arrival, Styles also treated fans to an unexpected preview of new music. In late December 2025, he uploaded a surprise video titled Forever, Forever to YouTube — the first new music fans have seen from him in nearly two years — featuring footage from the final night of his sold-out Love On Tour and closing with the phrase “WE BELONG TOGETHER,” which many interpreted as a lyric tease for the forthcoming era.
Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. — executive produced by longtime collaborator Kid Harpoon — will be Styles’ first full-length project since Harry’s House, the Grammy-winning album that dominated charts and award shows following its 2022 release. The new album is expected to showcase his continued evolution as a songwriter and performer, blending introspective lyricism with fresh musical directions.
With Aperture set to drop just days after the announcement, fans and critics alike are gearing up for a big start to 2026 in music. The choice of title hints at artistic themes of light, perspective and vision — striking imagery that could reflect the creative scope of Styles’ upcoming record as he prepares to step back into the spotlight.
