Harry Styles‘ music video for his single “Watermelon Sugar” is finally here, and it’s a summertime treat. The video was released on Monday (May 18) and features Styles’ classic 70s care free style.
The opening shot informs us all that the video is dedicated to “touching.” However, Styles did release the video with a disclaimer to “not try this at home” and instead “practice social distancing” on his Twitter. The songs new visuals is our post quarantine dream, as it taps into our collective desire for physical touch during a global pandemic.
Harry lounges on a beach in front of a buffet of fruit and women. There’s a lot of bikinis, erotic fruit-fingering, and tanned limbs dangling in the sand. And of course, there’s lots of watermelons everywhere, which we see being stroked by Harry’s pink polished fingers, being thrown joyfully into the ocean, and placed strategically in front of what Harry actually means when he sings, “I just wanna taste it.”
“Watermelon Sugar” serves as the fourth single off Harry’s sophomore album, Fine Line. The sugary song has peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. Stream Fine Line Below.
