On Jan. 23, Harry Styles released his new single “Aperture” at 12 a.m. GMT, with the official music video releasing the following day on his Youtube. This single marks the first release from his new upcoming 12-track album “Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.,” coming out on March 6. 

In its first 24 hours, “Aperture” debuted with 12.4 million streams globally on Spotify. Select fans also heard the song early through listening events at select record stores in 11 cities. 

Styles also announced a 2026 international tour including shows in Amsterdam, London, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, NYC, Melbourne and Sydney. In New York City alone, Styles will perform 30 shows at Madison Square Garden. 

The five-minute track blends disco and techno with reflective lyrics, creating a subtle and calm yet epiphanic celebratory atmosphere. The song showcases a different musical direction that's unlike Styles’ usual style. The music video had unusual, expressive choreography that caught fans’ attention and reflected the songs’ themes of openness and acceptance.

Styles has described the song as “a real celebration song” that represents positivity and reconnecting with people.
