Harry Styles Announces Musical Comeback After 1,336-Day Hiatus
After a prolonged absence, the wait is finally over for legions of Harry Styles fans. The acclaimed pop artist has officially announced his return to the music scene, signaling a new chapter in his already illustrious career.
Since December, Styles has been strategically teasing his dedicated following with a series of cryptic messages, an enigmatic website, and intriguing voice notes, all centered around the unifying theme: “We belong together.”
Now, Styles has confirmed the forthcoming release of his new album, provocatively titled “Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.”
Scheduled for release on March 6th, the album marks a highly anticipated follow-up to 2022’s critically and commercially successful “Harry’s House,” which garnered over four million global sales and secured the coveted Album of the Year awards at both the Grammys and the Brit Awards.
The artist unveiled the cover art for his fourth studio album via social media, depicting him beneath a disco ball in an open field, playfully accessorized with swimming goggles.
According to a press release, the 12-track album was executive produced by Styles’ longtime collaborator, Kid Harpoon.
Despite the announcement, Styles has yet to share any new music from the project, save for a brief voice note disseminated to fans on Wednesday, further fueling anticipation.
Pre-orders for the album are now open, offering a range of vinyl and CD editions, as well as a limited-edition box set featuring a film camera.
Styles’ rise to prominence began at the age of 16, after his mother encouraged him to audition for The X Factor.
It was there that he joined forces with Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik to form the boyband One Direction.
Despite finishing third in the competition, the group’s infectious pop anthems and fresh-faced appeal propelled them to global superstardom.
With hits like “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Story of My Life,” and “Best Song Ever,” One Direction cultivated a massive and devoted fanbase, amplified by the burgeoning power of internet fandoms.
Styles quickly emerged as the band’s most recognizable member, even before his rumored inspiration for Taylor Swift’s breakup anthems on her acclaimed album “1989,” setting high expectations for his eventual solo career.
Following One Direction’s hiatus, Styles waited over a year before embarking on his solo journey.
Initial reactions were mixed. His debut single, “Sign Of The Times,” a lengthy ballad, debuted at number one largely due to his pre-existing celebrity.
However, his second album, “Fine Line,” solidified his status as a musical force, with infectious and sophisticated tracks like “Adore You” and “Watermelon Sugar” achieving platinum status in the UK alone.
“Harry’s House,” released in 2022, further cemented his reputation. The album, a blend of 1970s soft rock and 80s new wave influences, featured the chart-topping single “As It Was” and received numerous accolades.
Styles embarked on a 22-month, 179-date world tour, “Love On Tour,” which garnered attention for the inclusive and supportive atmosphere fostered among his audience.
The tour concluded in July 2023 at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, Italy, where Styles performed for over 100,000 fans.
Since then, Styles has maintained a relatively low profile, though he was notably spotted in Vatican City for the announcement of the new pope in May 2025 and completed a sub-three-hour marathon in Berlin last September.
The first indication of his musical return came on December 27th, with the release of an eight-minute video featuring the instrumental track “Forever, Forever,” filmed during the final night of his “Love On Tour” concerts.
The closing shot featured the words “we belong together” displayed over a crowd of fans dancing beneath the shimmering lights of the show.
This phrase resurfaced this week on billboards in major cities worldwide, drawing crowds of fans eager to capture photos with the message.
Each poster featured a unique message: “See you very soon” in New York, “Here we go again” in Manchester, and “A gente se vê em breve” (We’ll see each other soon) in São Paulo.
The posters also included a link to webelongtogether.co, a website where fans could sign up for news and WhatsApp updates.
On Wednesday, some fans received a short voice note, allegedly from Styles, singing “we belong together” a cappella, igniting excitement among his fanbase.
The musician is known for his elaborate and cryptic promotional campaigns.
In 2022, he launched the “Harry’s House” album with a website called You Are Home, featuring an animated door that revealed a new image each day, such as a photo of Earth, Haruki Murakami’s novel “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle,” or a Cavallini mushroom puzzle.
For “Fine Line,” Styles plastered posters around the world posing the question, “Do you know who you are?”
The campaign also included a website where fans could receive positive affirmations such as “you are distanced, but not far from my heart” or “treat people with kindness,” each signed with “Love, H.”
While no further details of Styles’ comeback were revealed on Thursday, rumors have circulated for months regarding a potential world tour this summer.
Among the rumored engagements are residencies at London’s Wembley Stadium and New York’s Madison Square Garden.
If these rumors are true, it would contribute to a summer packed with high-profile concerts, as stadium tours from BTS, Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, and Foo Fighters have already been confirmed in recent weeks.
