![]() ![]() Styles announced the title of his upcoming third studio album as Harry's House on 23 March 2022, unveiling its artwork, a 40-second trailer and the album's release date of. Musically, Harry 's House takes influence from Japan's 1970s-80s city pop genre, and primarily features pop-funk, pop rock, synth-pop and new wave styles, with elements of R&B. "Love of My Life" is Styles's way of showing his love and appreciation to England and home.

The album features John Mayer on lead guitar on "Cinema" and "Daydreaming". "Cinema" was Styles's "fun" track which he started writing while being on the treadmill and continued writing piecewise. If nothing else, it just says, 'I was listening to you'". In an interview with Zane Lowe, Styles stated he wrote the song to show he was listening: "Sometimes it's just about listening. The song was inspired by a relationship Styles had with someone who was going through difficulty. "Matilda" is titled after the lead character from a book of the same name, written by Roald Dahl.

"Boyfriends", however, was initially written during the final week of Fine Line (2019) recording. The album was largely written and recorded during 20. Speaking on the album's concept, Styles said "It was much more of an internal thing… it felt like it took on this whole new meaning and it was about, like: imagine, it’s a day in my house, what do I go through? A day in my mind, what do I go through? In my house I’m playing fun music, sad music, I’m playing this, I’m playing that. The album is considered Styles's most introspective of his career thus fair according to Styles the central concept of 'house' is a metaphor for the inside of his mind rather than a "geographical location". It'd be really fun to make a record called Harry's House'." The initial idea behind the album came when Styles wanted to take the title in a literal way so he could make an acoustic extended play recorded at his own house. In an interview with Apple Music, Styles explained how he came up with the album title: "The album is named after Haruomi Hosono, he had an album in the '70s called Hosono's House, and I spent that chunk in Japan I heard that record and I was like 'I love that.
