Harry Styles is officially gearing up to launch his next musical era, marking his first single release in nearly three years.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday night, January 20, the former One Direction star announced that he will drop his new lead track, “Aperture,” later this week. The song serves as the first taste of his upcoming fourth studio album, Kiss All the Time, Dance Occasionally.
“Aperture. Jan 23, 00:00 UK,” Styles captioned a photo of himself in the studio, arms raised in celebration and flashing a wide smile, seemingly marking the completion of new music.
The single is set for a global release on Thursday, January 22, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. ET (midnight in the UK).
“Aperture” will lead Kiss All the Time, Dance Occasionally, which is scheduled for release on March 6, 2026.
Prior to this announcement, Styles’ most recent musical output came in the form of Forever, Forever, a surprise eight-minute video featuring a piano instrumental alongside footage from his final Love On Tour performance in Italy.
His last official single release before the upcoming comeback was “Satellite,” which arrived in May 2023 as part of his Grammy-winning album Harry’s House.
