Disco, Occasionally.,<\/em><\/a> will be released on March 6.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">On January 20, Harry announced that the album\u2019s lead single, \u201cAperture,\u201d is coming our way on January 23. It may seem like it\u2019s all happening incredibly fast, but dear reader, the signs have always been there. Here\u2019s what we know about Harry Styles\u2019 new song, \u201cAperture,\u201d from Easter eggs to its potential meaning.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"when-does-aperture-by-harry-styles-come-out\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"body-h2 css-1weox8s emevuu60\">When does \u201cAperture\u201d by Harry Styles come out?<\/h2>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">According to Harry\u2019s official announcement (which was shared with his text subscribers and in an Instagram post on January 20), \u201cAperture\u201d is dropping on Friday, January 23 at midnight U.K. time. That means it\u2019ll likely drop for U.S. fans on Thursday, January 22 at 7 p.m. EST \/ 4 p.m. PST.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"recirculation\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-14\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<h2 id=\"so-what-does-aperture-even-mean\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"body-h2 css-1weox8s emevuu60\">So, what does \u201cAperture\u201d even mean?<\/h2>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">If you haven\u2019t dabbled in photography at this point in your life, odds are you\u2019ve never even heard this word. According to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/aperture\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/aperture\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Merriam-Webster\" data-node-id=\"10.1\" class=\"body-link css-103hk4r emevuu60\">Merriam-Webster<\/a>, \u201caperture\u201d can mean one of two things: 1. an opening or open space, or 2. the opening in a photographic lens that admits the light. Which is interesting, considering how much this man has teased lights and cameras leading up to his announcement.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"has-harry-shared-any-aperture-easter-eggs\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"body-h2 css-1weox8s emevuu60\">Has Harry shared any \u201cAperture\u201d Easter eggs?<\/h2>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Yep. It may all lead back to the \u201cForever, Forever\u201d video he released on December 27, where he played a piano instrumental in a specific light. The first frame of the eight-and-a-half-minute video also emphasizes three lenses on a fan\u2019s phone camera. Interesting!<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"youtube\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"14\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Then came <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.webelongtogether.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"http:\/\/www.webelongtogether.co\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"webelongtogether.co\" data-node-id=\"14.1\" class=\"body-link css-103hk4r emevuu60\">webelongtogether.co<\/a> and its accompanying billboards around the world on January 12. The website originally featured a moving image of a crowd during a concert, and the same photo was seen on digital billboards with the tagline \u201cLet the Light In.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"x\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-18\" data-node-id=\"15\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"x\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-19\" data-node-id=\"16\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"17\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">And, of course, we can\u2019t help but point out the fact that Harry\u2019s new merch includes a limited edition camera box set, which features a film camera, fanny pack, and CD. Unfortunately, it\u2019s already sold out\u2014but it\u2019s still a major clue for his upcoming musical era.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-20\" data-node-id=\"18\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-swqnqv e1fodxfw2\"><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-170cidh e1geg53v2\">Harry Styles \/ Columbia Records<\/span><\/figcaption><p>The sold-out limited edition camera box set from Harry Styles\u2019 official merch store.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"19\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">While nothing has been confirmed, fans theorize that the song will likely be a play on letting lighter moments into our lives and capturing them along the way.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-21\" data-node-id=\"20\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-1jwg9pu e94w1mj1\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.cosmopolitan.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harry Styles is officially coming back with new music after teasing the release with cryptic billboards and a mysterious website.
