have you seen these insane maylors trying to rewrite history and say that 1989 is actually about that man. its legit crazy how stupid people can be.
Let’s beat them at their own game — claim TTPD songs just to piss them off lmao.
LOML? Yeah that’s about Harry now. Tattooed golden retriever? Harry now.
Damn, Matty Healy really is Taylor’s worst muse 😬
Is Harry still a Zionist or has he gotten himself educated on the matter now?
Love to think you'll never forget We'll pay the price, I guess
If I could fly
The TLDR is that If I could fly is about Harry being vulnerable with someone he is separated from by distance which is painful. Harry wrote it in February before the OTRA tour. When asked about it in the Track by Track, (1:52) Harry spoke about the album for 2 minutes, when prompted he covered his body language was closed before saying it 'kind of fell down, it was natural to sing it' then talked about Johan. Thank for sharing your music Harry.
When was it written
Harry wrote it with Johan Carlson and Ross Golan in Los Angeles. Johan said they wrote together several days a week over four weeks leading up to the On the Road Again tour, which started 7 February 2015. Harry wrote with Johan on ‘Just a Little Piece of your heart’, ‘I love you’, Maybe Someday and 'Stockholm Syndrome'. Johan said:
"He's such a good songwriter - it's an honour to write music with him. He's fantastic with the words and he can really put down lyrics that are very conversational and people can relate to. We're just having a good time."
Niall also said Made in the AM was written in January and February, before Zayn left the band in March. He also told Ryan Seacrest the bulk of the album was written before tour and recorded on the road.
Live performances
One Direction never performed it live and Harry hasn't since 2018. Harry included it in his first main setlist throughout 2018. He performed it on the B stage after Sweet Creature. When performing it live Harry paused, shushed the crowd with a finger for up to 2 minutes before saying "it's your turn" for them to sing the last chorus and "I feel it," both of which Harry led on the album.
What the band said about it
To Apple Music Liam said he got emotional listening to "the song Harry wrote", which is likely 'If I Could Fly' because his other writing credits were with 1D and/or 1D writers. Harry deflected answering what it is about but said it was a farewell (to a hoodie they had been joking about). The farewell is interesting to me as the lyrics are ambiguous to me, Harry sings of being apart from his muse, going out of mind and hoping they don’t run from him.
Julian Bunetta said to Rolling Stone:
“I remember when Harry first played it to me. That one I didn’t write, but I remember when I first heard it. We were in Westlake Studio for a week. I kept asking why he wanted to call it ‘If I Could Fly.’ It’s a great song, so it doesn’t really matter what it’s called, does it?”
The title is only in the first line, compared to 'for your eyes only' which is the main line of the chorus. If I could fly is a reference to the paper airplane necklace and Taylors Out Of The Woods "Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying". It also sets the meaning of the song as about someone he's physically apart from rather than the band or fans.

Lyrics
If I could fly I'd be comin' right back home to you
"If I could fly" is not an obvious title for this song, but was important to Harry. It is one of Harry's last One Direction songs, he fly's (over an ocean and woods) in the MV his first solo song, Sign of the Times, which works as a through line. Harry said to Jimmy Fallon that he 'would have been happy with a green screen' which sounds like the flying was his idea before he got concepts.
Harry has sung about flying and the distance separating him from his muse many times, especially in One Direction songs. This title and opening lyric are clear the song is about someone Harry is separated from by touring and living internationally:
Fools Gold "You're the shining distraction that makes me fly home"
Half The World Away "Never gonna be the same / 'Cause you're half the world away"
Lay down "Hearts are divided / Now that we’re worlds apart"
Trouble "And you know that i’ll be gone in the morning"
Already home "You don’t have to go, but you’re already leaving" and "From aeroplanes to the bullet trains, summer skies to the pouring rain / All the future plans we will never make, from a beating heart to the farthest place"
Daylight "If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you"
Canyon Moon "I'll be gone too long from you"
Daydreaming "You know I'll be gone for so long / So give me all of your love, give me something to dream about"
Since meeting Harry while writing Red, Taylor has sung about flying in more than 10 songs about him, most closely in The Very First Night: "I wish I could fly, I’d pick you up and we’d go back in time"
Home is also an important theme in Harry's music, home being with the person rather than a physical place.
I think I might Give up everything, just ask me to
Here, in Maybe Someday and in Taylors 'The Lakes' they have both sung about being together after giving up their careers, Slut! and Gold Rush Also has a similar message.
however on Harry's House in Music for a Sushi Restaurant and As it Was Harry started to say he should be able to have both because 'he's not going to go broke' or 'you know it's not the same.'
Pay attention, I hope that you listen 'Cause I let my guard down Right now I'm completely defenseless
Harry guards his privacy carefully, he has spoke in the Behind the Album that the world knew everything about him in the band and he found he didn't like that. To let someone in is important.
For your eyes only I'll show you my heart For when you're lonely And forget who you are I'm missing half of me When we're apart Now you know me For your eyes only For your eyes only
I really love the phrasing of 'when you're lonely and forget who you are' it beautifully communicates how highly Harry thinks of his muse, but knows they don't see themselves as he does. This is quite similar to
Lay Down: "Two Hearts are divided / Now that we’re worlds apart, They seem so hard to take"
Satellite "I can see you're lonely down there, Don't you know that I am right here?"
Little Freak "I was thinkin' about who you are / Your delicate point of view"
I've got scars Even though they can't always be seen And pain gets hard But now you're here and I don't feel a thing
This verse gets me everytime. Harry is speaking about past trauma, which he also touched on with Rolling Stone discussing his parents separating and wanting to protect his mother, as well as internet criticism. Taylor Swift has a similar story in Seven, and in Cardigan "You drew stars around my scars"
I can feel your heart inside of mine I feel it, I feel it I've been goin' out of my mind I feel it, I feel it Know that I'm just wastin' time And I hope that you don't run from me
To me the outcome for the relationship in the song is ambiguous, as it may have been for Harry. He’s vulnerable, hoping the person doesn’t run from him, but is leaving and thinks he wasting his time. To me this reflects a relationship that’s complex, but clearly special. As we can see with how Harry didn’t want to discuss the song.
This verse reminds me of these lyrics.
Sweet Creature "Two hearts in one home"
Where do broken hearts go "Mind is running in circles of you and me"
Fools Gold "You're the raise on the waves that calm my mind"
after hearing slut it makes sense that at least part of the inspiration for gold rush was harry styles. it's impressive how he realized it and included it in this music video
Everyone wants him, that was her crime. She doesn't like that anyone would die to feel his touch cause everybody wants him. But she doesn't like the gold rush 😏

SO it is 100% confirmed haylor song!!! Omg I always believed it is but it's never clearer. Plus the demo leak makes it even more spicy.
Yes and he did this in Nashville
Revisiting Harry Styles' playlist for AnOther Man Magazine.
Buckle up, this is a long one. Harry was in his feelings, and I want to talk about it.
Make my day
I am obsessed with this song, I sincerely hope the muse is also. It was leaked on 7 December 2023.
Lyrics
Make my day has pair of lines, one with a good thing about his life and one that shows that that doesn't make up for loneliness
You don't want to hear my tiny violin You don't want to hear my explanation
Harry is aware how lucky his life is, he thinks he shouldn't complain. You should Harry, I wish this was on the album.
They make me feel wanted, make me come fast The hottest of fires still cold when it's ash
He refers to his millions of screaming fans as making him feel wanted (you are Harry).
However, no matter how loud they are, large the crowd is, it's cold when he is alone.
I make lots of money, build a big house Put an extra sink in, say I'll settle down
He's building a '£30m house, but has no one to use his double sink. He puts it in anyway hoping one day he has someone to use it
Friends call me a loner, I know they're wrong She asks me to choke her, I play along
His friends see him as a single hot guy having kinky sex, but he just wants someone to share his life and is going along to not be alone.
This combination is that Harry is lonely but 'active' with this person is also on his albums:
Keep Driving: Choke her with a sea view [..] Hey, you Should we just keep driving? (Seaview was an Adore You MV Easter Egg) and
Fine Line: "Spreading you open Is the only way of knowing you"
Harry's an extremely desirable man, he's in love with someone he hooks up with and wants to be more to them.
Hit me like a red line, straight to my face/vein Hit me with a real life and that's when I'll change
The Red Line is the central London line. When he is with the love of his life everything will change. When it is real he will settle down, he wants to.
After the Bridge the pairings change, no longer a good/lonely pairing they become a bad thing made better by being with his love.
If the grass isn't greener, if the song's out of tune It'll all go away when it comes to you
Harry is saying if things don't work or are hard that will be fine, because having this person is the one thing he needs.
You won't have the answers to all my questions I'll piss you off, won't learn my lesson
Harry doesn't expect that this person will be everything to him or vice versa, he is singing to a particular person that it's been hard with before. Not learning his lesson is similar to previous songs he's not changed I Just wanna love you "Selfish, crazy and I'm never gonna change" Though he did in Stockholm Syndrome "Used to sing about being free but now he's changed his mind"
I don't want you perfect, don't want too sweet But you'll make my day and make my whole week
Harry refers to Perfect, a song about how they are not so and n The 1 Taylor said "And it would've been sweet / If it could've been me".

This part about the Midnights timeline always kills me. This further cements that Glitch is not about Joe. 2190 days from any date in 2021 is 2015! She didn’t know Joe yet… but she did begin a long blackout with someone since sometime in 2015… (Met Calvin in February, dating in March, May BBMAs…) Sorry not sorry.
“Five seconds later, I'm fastening myself to you with a stitch and I'm not even sorry”
This song is so Haylor coded.
And if anyone remembers the interview with Ryan Seacrest in 2014 when she said she should’ve just named ‘Style’ , “I’m not even sorry” ?
We already know they use stitches and the number 20 in their lyrics as a symbolic/metaphorical way to describe their chaotic relationship.
LMAOOOOOOOOO
This is why you should not believe Deuxmoi
