Harry Styles Credits New Record To ‘Positive Things’ In His Life In Cryptic Comment Linked To Zoë Kravitz

Harry Styles is officially back from his music hiatus and has returned with a more “positive” mindset. 

This newfound energy follows a whirlwind of romantic dates with Zoë Kravitz and a high-stakes meeting with her father, rock legend Lenny Kravitz.

To cap off the excitement, Styles has just unveiled a massive 2026 residency tour, highlighted by an unprecedented 30-night takeover of Madison Square Garden.

After a long hiatus, Styles is officially back, and he sounds more refreshed than ever.

The 31-year-old superstar kicked off his new era by dropping a brand-new single titled “Aperture,” the first taste of his upcoming fourth studio album, “Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.” 

During an interview on BBC Radio 1, Styles hinted that this record is a direct reflection of a massive personal shift. He cryptically mentioned that he has been opening himself up to the world lately, allowing some very positive things to flow into his life. 

“I've had a lot of big realizations. I've generally opened up more to the world and allowing some more positive things to come into my life,” he said, per the Daily Mail.

While he didn't name names, many believe these "positive changes" are a subtle nod to his rumored romance with Zoë.

The track itself feels like a total departure from the pensive vibes of his previous work. Page Six reports that “Aperture” is an upbeat anthem centered on the idea of finding a safe and genuine connection.

The title is a clever photography metaphor that references the lens opening that admits light, with Styles singing about belonging together and finally finding clarity in love. 

In the bridge, he even croons about wanting to know what "safe" is, suggesting he has found a sense of emotional security that was previously missing.

Linking back to his newfound "positive” realizations, Styles certainly seems to be practicing what he preaches when it comes to living life with love.

According to The Blast, the singer and Zoë were the picture of romance during a cozy getaway to Rome late last year. The pair was seen wandering through the historic streets hand-in-hand and looking completely smitten.

The chemistry between them was undeniable as they navigated the Italian capital. In several sweet snapshots, Styles was seen reaching out to playfully boop Zoë on the nose, an affectionate gesture that had fans swooning across social media. At one point, the “Big Little Lies” actress was spotted resting her head on his shoulder while they waited at a stop, appearing relaxed and secure in his presence. 

Building on their romantic momentum, Styles and Zoë decided to take a major step forward by bringing family into the mix.

Last September, the high-profile pair was spotted heading for a lunch date that included a very special guest: Zoë’s father, the legendary Lenny Kravitz. 

According to The Blast, the couple arrived at the restaurant hand-in-hand, looking relaxed and effortlessly stylish as they prepared to break bread with one of rock music's most iconic figures.

Zoë kept things cool and minimalist in a sleek slip skirt and flats, while Styles looked polished in smart trousers paired with a crisp white shirt.

While the family introductions suggest a fairytale in the making, not everyone in Hollywood is reportedly raising a glass to the new pairing.

As reported by The Blast, Styles’ former flame, Olivia Wilde, found herself caught off guard by the news that her ex had moved on with someone so close to her own social circle. 

Insiders claimed that she was "surprised" by the match, allegedly finding it "super awkward.” However, the narrative isn't entirely one-sided, as other sources suggest Wilde is far too busy with her own life to lose sleep over Styles’ love life.

A different informant revealed that the actress "doesn’t really give a cr-p" because their relationship ended a while back. 

Just as his personal life seems to be finding its rhythm, Styles is making sure his professional life follows suit with a blockbuster announcement. 

Days after confirming his new album, the singer sent fans into a frenzy by revealing the "Together, Together" global residency tour for 2026.

This ambitious trek consists of 50 high-octane shows across seven iconic cities, marking a significant return to the stage after his long hiatus, per The Blast. 

The journey begins this May in Amsterdam with a six-night stint at the Johan Cruijff Arena, followed by a prestigious six-show run at London’s Wembley Stadium in June. Styles then heads to Latin America for two-night stops in both São Paulo and Mexico City.
