“I also feel really happy at the moment and I feel like it’s the first time I feel like I’m making music and putting music out from a real place of personal freedom,” he said. “And that is a really liberating place to [be] creating from and now putting it out.”

He added: “The process for me has been easily the most joyous of anything that I’ve experienced so far while making music.”

“She used to try and call me before bedtime every night so one time I don’t know, it didn’t ring or something, and she sent me that and I dug it out at some point while we were in the studio and put it in front of the song for some reason. I just fell in love with it and it stuck,” he toldCapital FM, before joking, “She was asking for a big fee.”

Styles also revealed onHits Radiothat “As It Was” was the last song written forHarry’s House, and came about in the front room of his friend’s home in the English countryside.

“It started off much slower,” he explained, “and then the kind of piano line was being played on a piano, and then it kind of turned into that synth and it just took on a new life. I’m a fan of it; it’s one of my favorite songs on the album.”

Harry’s Houseis out May 20.
