Harry Styles is shouting out the American girls on his new album.
Hot on the heels of the release of his latest album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. on Friday (March 6), the English singer shared an action-packed music video for his new song "American Girls," a visual full of explosions, stunt doubles and behind-the-scenes movie magic.
"'I've known you for ages,' it's all that I've heard/ My friends are in love with American girls/ I've seen it in stages all over the world/ My friends are in love with American girls," he sings in the chorus.
Styles credited his friends falling in love with real life American girls as the personal inspiration behind the track during a recent interview ahead of the album's release, per Today.
"The song to me is like, it's actually quite a lonely song in a lot of ways," he said. "I watched like my three closest friends get married, and actually seeing them trust in something and risk something to find something truly fulfilling in a way that isn't as like shiny and on paper as exciting."
He continued, "Watching them get married, I was like, 'I'm single, so I'm having all the fun.' And 'American Girls' is actually about watching them get married, and there just is a magic when you find the right person that you want to be with. I think watching them do that and seeing that it doesn't come without any uncertainty, it doesn't come without any risk."
