Harry Styles is ready to let the light in with his new single.
The British pop star, 31, announced his new single “Aperture” on Tuesday, Jan. 20, which will mark the first taste of his upcoming fourth album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.

“Aperture” marks the singer’s first single since “Satellite” in 2023. In photography, aperture is the camera lens’s adjustable opening, which controls how much light gets in, thus affecting the brightness and depth of field of the image.
Styles will release the 12-track Kiss All the Time on March 6. It’s his first album since Harry’s House in 2022, which earned him Grammy Awards for Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical.
The “As It Was” singer has been teasing new music over the past few weeks, and even launched a website called WeBelongTogether.co. The website features a photo of Styles sitting in an outdoor art class, as well as a wheel that users can spin to land on either “disco” or “kiss.” Clicking the wheel leads fans to a mobile phone number for the star’s headquarters.

Various posters declaring “we belong together” have also popped up around the globe in cities like New York, Berlin and Palermo, Italy.
Styles supported Harry’s House with a massive, two-year run of his celebrated Love on Tour, which he called “the greatest experience of my life” in an Instagram post marking its end in July 2023.
“Thank you for your time, your energy, and your love. It’s been an honor to play for you. I hope you had as much fun as I did,” Styles concluded. “Look after each other, I’ll see you again when the time is right. Treat People With Kindness. I love you more than you’ll ever know.”
Since stepping out of the spotlight, Styles has been spotted a number of times in Italy with girlfriend Zoë Kravitz, and he even ran the Berlin Marathon in September.
