Harry Styles has announced his first single in almost four years, titled "Aperture," — and it’s coming in just a few days.
On Tuesday, the pop star surprised fans by revealing that “Aperture” — the first taste of upcoming fourth studio album "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally," — will hit streaming services on Thursday.
Posting a photo of himself in a recording studio, Styles simply captioned, “Aperture. Jan 23, 00:00 UK.”

The website Styles used to tease his ne2 album ahead of its announcement earlier in January, WeBelongTogether.co, has also been updated with the single news.
The page now shows a photo of the singer and several other parkgoers sitting on a grassy space while sketching something out of view on canvases.
At the center, a clock with both hands pointed to “Disco” — which is displayed where the 9 o’clock position should be — seemingly teases that the first song from HS4 will have a disco/dance theme.
The announcement comes just a little more than a week after Styles first started teasing "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally" with the launch of WeBelongTogether.co, after which he sent a voice note to fans of himself singing the phrase, “We belong together.”
On January 15, he announced the record, unveiling its title, eccentric cover art on social media, and its March 6 release date.
The highly anticipated project is slated to have 12 tracks and will be executive produced by Kid Harpoon, who also helmed the latest album from former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne.
Fans have been waiting for what feels like forever for the Brit to release a follow-up to 2022’s "Harry’s House," which won album of the year at the Grammys.
Before "Harry’s House," he debuted as a soloist with 2017’s self-titled album before dropping his sophomore effort "Fine Line" two years later.
Styles toured for nearly two years in support of his second and third solo albums, with his pandemic-delayed “Love on Tour” launching in September of 2021 and concluding in Reggio Emilia, Italy, on July 22, 2023.
Since closing out his trek, the pop star has largely stayed out of the spotlight, occasionally popping up around the world to run a major marathon or two.
