The song will be released worldwide at 7 p.m. EST on Jan. 22 ahead of the musician’s fourth album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, out March 6
In the lead-up to the announcement of his fourth album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, Harry Styles left cryptic messages scattered across the world. One in particular read, “Let the light in.” As it turns out, the note was a nod to the first single from the album, “Aperture.” The song will be released worldwide at 7 p.m. EST on Thursday ahead of the LP’s March 6 arrival.
Aperture, of course, controls how much light passes through a camera. Last week’s album announcement arrived with a new slate of merch, including a limited-edition box set containing a reloadable 35mm film camera. Styles also shared an Instagram Story post featuring an animation of the single title opening and closing, letting light in and shutting it out. The accompanying grid post captures Styles grinning in the studio.
Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally marks the first LP release from Styles since Harry’s House arrived in 2022. The 12-track album reunites the musician with his longtime collaborator, Kid Harpoon. In 2022, Harpoon told Rolling Stone he was looking forward to following up the Grammy Award-winning record, which took home Album of the Year in 2023.

“What I hope for going forward with Harry is that whatever it is next, let’s not try and second-guess it, or do anything based on what we’ve done before,” he said. “Let’s just try and do something new and land somewhere exciting. And hopefully everyone’s as excited to hear it as we are to kind of hear it as well. You know, I feel like we don’t know what it is yet. That could be anything, which is the most exciting thing about it.”
With more than 1,300 days having passed since he last released new music, Styles is ready to step into the light once again.
