Harry says the piano-driven ballad 'Sign of the Times' is "the song I'm most proud of writing".
Chatting on the BBC Radio1 Breakfast Show this morning, Harry admitted that he was feeling "nervous but good" about airing his debut single for the first time. He added that it was a song that "my mum liked, which was handy".
Speaking ahead of his eagerly awaited debut album, Harry said: "It’s a bit weird, I feel like I’ve been hibernating in the studio for so long… it’s time to give birth."
The CEO of Columbia Records Rob Stringer said they're "very excited" about Styles' debut album. "Harry has stepped up with the vision of someone who’s authentic," he said recently.
'Sign of the Times' was produced by Jeff Bhasker and co-written by Styles, with additional production by Alex Salibian and Tyler Johnson.
The music video for 'Sign of the Times' will be revealed later this month. It was filmed in Scotland around Isle of Skye and is directed by notable French director/musician Yoann Lemoine.
On 15 April, Harry is set for the television performance debut of his new music on NBC’s 'Saturday Night Live', which for the first time in its 42 seasons, will broadcast live simultaneously across the U.S. in all time zones coast to coast.
A week later, on 21 April, Styles will make his solo live debut across the pond on 'The Graham Norton Show'.
