Lyrics i remember (kinda?):
“We belong together, (it finally appears????)
“Aperture, let the light in”
Something about prisoners and Tokyo
“Time won’t wait for me”
Pretty sure he said something like bad boy

Gorgeous melodic vocals over a full-on EDM beat. Comes in pretty sparse, disrupted beats and raw vocals, but it builds into an anthem. You can’t help move. Will be epic live with visuals, lights, people energy. Vibe is love, togetherness. Brilliant, beautiful, everything!!! ❤️

i think the first line of the song was ‘i take no prisoners’. also, i could see it become the song of the summer, the chorus is very catchy and filled with what’s either harry’s own harmonies or a choir

Yep very catchy, but in kind of a bigger way…if that makes sense. Some delicate instrospective vocals/ lyrics, but as it builds & layers, it starts to really soar & the repetition of the hook "We belong together. We'll never be apart. It's only love" (??) comes in and … ????❤️

And just the chorus is we belong together but truly my mind went blank it was so fast I can’t believe I have to wait another day to hear it but you truly can’t compare this song to anything he’s ever done
