Harry Styles explores ‘safe’ love on new single ‘Aperture’ amid Zoë Kravitz romance

Harry Styles releases “Aperture,” reflecting on emotional growth, safe love, and a new chapter ahead of his album

Harry Styles has entered a reflective new era with the release of his latest single, “Aperture,” which arrived Friday as the first offering from his upcoming album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., due March 6. 

The upbeat track centers on themes of emotional safety, openness, and personal growth, marking a shift in tone from some of the singer’s earlier work.

The song’s title references a photography term meaning an opening that lets in light, a metaphor that aligns closely with the lyrics. In the chorus, Styles sings about connection and stability, repeating the line, “We belong together / It finally appears, it’s only love.” The bridge further emphasizes his desire for emotional grounding, as he reflects on learning what “safe” love feels like.

While it remains unclear whether “Aperture” directly references Styles’ relationship with actress Zoë Kravitz, the single arrives amid their ongoing romance. The pair were first linked in August 2025 and have since been spotted together multiple times. During a recent BBC Radio 1 interview, Styles spoke broadly about the mindset behind the song, noting that he has opened himself up to more positive experiences in recent years.

Styles also described the album title as a personal mantra, suggesting it reflects a balance between embracing love and allowing space for rest and joy. The project marks his first full-length release in four years, following Harry’s House.

In addition to new music, Styles is set to perform 30 shows at Madison Square Garden between August and October, solidifying another major milestone in his career as he enters this new chapter.
