What Is The Real Meaning Of Daylight By Harry Styles? Here's What We Think

Publish date: 2024-05-19

Harry Styles' new song "Daylight" is making waves for more than just its funky, electronic vibes; Taylor Swift also has a song called "Daylight," according to E! News. As fans may recall, Swift and Styles had a short-lived relationship back in 2012, but it was meaningful enough to spark plenty of lyrical inspiration for both singers. From "Style" to "Out of the Woods," Swift's "1989" album was packed with references to her ex, while Styles sang about Swift in "Two Ghosts," per Bustle. Lines like "Same lips red, same eyes blue / Same white shirt, couple more tattoos" left little room for speculation, and Styles called the song's subject material "pretty self-explanatory."

Although Swift and Styles' relationship has long since faded into fan lore, and both have moved on with other partners, many have been wondering whether Styles' "Daylight" is another tribute to his ex-girlfriend. Apparently, this isn't the case, as Styles explained in a SiriusXM interview with Howard Stern. Though Styles appeared to smile when the radio host brought up Swift, the "Watermelon Sugar" crooner was quick to shoot down any rumors about Swift. "You know I'd love to tell you [that] you're spot-on, but you're not," Styles told Stern. "We will always wonder." Instead, he described the song as a kind of "stream of consciousness" which depicts the experience of having a crush on someone who "ain't got time for me right now."
