1. 소개
해리 스타일스의 첫 번째 앨범으로, 2017년 5월 12일 발매되었다.
해리 스타일스가
원디렉션 해산 이후 처음으로 낸 솔로 음반이며, 앨범 전곡 작사/작곡에 참여했고, 기존 원디렉션 앨범들과 사뭇 다르게 팝보다는 록적인 색체가 강하다.
2. 프로모션
2017년 2월 10일, 해리가 계약한
컬럼비아 레코드의 CEO가 "해리의 솔로 앨범이 곧 발매될 것"이라고 밝혔다. 이미 솔로 앨범 3장을 컬럼비아에서 내기로 계약을 맺었으며, 솔로 앨범은
퀸,
데이비드 보위 등 70년대 풍의 락 앨범이고 리드 싱글은 4월 7일 발매예정이라고 발표했다.
2017년 3월 26일 갑작스럽게 4월 7일에 발매될 해리의 리드 싱글의 짧은 TV광고가 나왔다. 본인이 직접 언급을 하지 않아서 아무 것도 모르고 있던 팬들은 티비에서 해리를 보고 무척 놀라기도 했다고. 당시 곧 발매될 싱글을 기다리며 인스타그램과 트위터의 프로필을 모두 흰 바탕으로 바꾸기도 했다.
2017년 3월 29일, 컬럼비아 레코드 홈페이지에 새로운 해리의 사진과 함께 솔로 아티스트로서 공식 사이트가 생겼으며, SNS 프로필 사진을 앨범 아트 사진으로 바꾸고 공식사이트의 링크도 걸어놨다.
2017년 4월 7일 (한국시간) 오후 4시에
BBC Radio 1에서 데뷔 싱글 '
Sign of the Times'가 발표되었다. BBC 라디오 홈페이지에서 해리의 인터뷰를 들을 수 있다. 평은 대부분 호평 일색으로 솔로 앨범에 기대를 실어주었다. 이 곡은 이후 한국에서
LG V30 TV광고 보랏빛 하늘 편의 배경음악으로 사용되기도 했다. 또한
Omega의
2018 평창 동계올림픽 공식 타임키퍼 광고에도 사용되었다.

'''Meet Me in the Hallway'''
|
[Verse 1]
Meet me in the hallway, meet me in the hallway
I just left your bedroom, give me some morphine
Is there any more to do?
[Chorus]
Just let me know, I'll be at the door, at the door
Hoping you'll come around
Just let me know I'll be on the floor, on the floor
Maybe we'll work it out
I gotta get better, gotta get better
I gotta get better, gotta get better
I gotta get better, gotta get better
And maybe we'll work it out
[Verse 2]
I walked the streets all day, running with the thieves
'Cause you left me in the hallway (Give me some more)
Just take the pain away
[Chorus]
Just let me know, I'll be at the door, at the door
Hoping you'll come around
Just let me know, I'll be on the floor, on the floor
Maybe we'll work it out
I gotta get better, gotta get better
I gotta get better, gotta get better
I gotta get better, gotta get better
And maybe we'll work it out
[Outro]
We don't talk about it, it's something we don't do
'Cause once you go without it, nothing else will do

잔잔한 기타와 피아노 소리로 은근히 몽환적인 분위기를 자아내는
핑크 플로이드 풍의 곡으로, 앨범의 전체적인 분위기를 암시해주는 노래.

[Verse 1]
Just stop your crying, it's a sign of the times
Welcome to the final show
Hope you're wearing your best clothes
You can't bribe the door on your way to the sky
You look pretty good down here
But you ain't really good
[Pre-Chorus]
We never learn, we been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
The bullets? The bullets?
We never learn, we been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
The bullets? The bullets?
[Chorus]
Just stop your crying, it's a sign of the times
We gotta get away from here
We gotta get away from here
Just stop your crying, it'll be alright
They told me that the end is near
We gotta get away from here
[Verse 2]
Just stop your crying, have the time of your life
Breaking through the atmosphere
And things are pretty good from here
Remember everything will be alright
We can meet again somewhere
Somewhere far away from here
[Pre-Chorus]
We never learn, we been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
The bullets? The bullets?
We never learn, we been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
The bullets? The bullets?
[Chorus]
Just stop your crying, it's a sign of the times
We gotta get away from here
We gotta get away from here
Stop your crying, baby, it'll be alright
They told me that the end is near
We gotta get away from here
[Pre-Chorus]
We never learn, we been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
The bullets? The bullets?
We never learn, we been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
The bullets? The bullets?
[Bridge]
We don't talk enough, we should open up
Before it's all too much
Will we ever learn? We've been here before
It's just what we know
[Outro]
Stop your crying, baby, it's a sign of the times
We gotta get away, we got to get away
We got to get away, we got to get away
We got to get away
We got to, we got to, away
We got to, we got to, away
We got to, we got to, away

2017년 4월 7일 발매된 본 앨범의 리드 싱글로, 삶을 마감하는 어머니가 자신의 아이에게 메세지를 전달해주는 관점에서 쓰인 노래다.
- [ 가사 보이기 ]
[Intro]
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 1]
She's got a family in Carolina (Woo, oh yeah)
So far away, but she says I remind her of home (Woo, oh yeah)
Feeling oh so far from home (Woo, oh yeah)
She never saw herself as a West Coaster (Woo, oh yeah)
Moved all the way 'cause her grandma told her: (Woo, oh yeah)
"Townes, better swim before you drown" (Woo, oh yeah)
[Chorus]
She's a good girl (La la la la la la la la la la)
She's such a good girl (La la la la la la la la la la)
She's a good girl (La la la la la la la la la la)
She feels so good (Woo, oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
She's got a book for every situation (Situation)
Gets into parties without invitations (Invitations)
How could you ever turn her down? (Down, down, down, down)
There's not a drink that I think could sink her (Sink her)
How would I tell her that she's all I think about? (Think about)
Well, I guess she just found out
[Chorus]
She's a good girl (La la la la la la la la la la)
She's such a good girl (La la la la la la la la la la)
She's a good girl (La la la la la la la la la la)
She feels so good (Woo, oh yeah)
She feels so good (Woo, oh yeah)
[Bridge]
I met her once and wrote a song about her (Woo, oh yeah)
I wanna scream, yeah
I wanna shout it out (Woo, oh yeah)
And I hope she hears me now (Woo, oh yeah)
La la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la
[Chorus]
She's a good girl (La la la la la la la la la la)
She's such a good girl (La la la la la la la la la la)
She's a good girl (La la la la la la la la la la)
Feels so good
She feels so good (La la la la la la la la la la)
She feels so good (La la la la la la la la la la)
She feels so good (La la la la la la la la la la)
Oh, she's a good girl
She feels so good (Woo, oh yeah, woo, oh yeah)

1960년대
히피 문화를 연상시키는 활기찬 멜로디가 인상깊은 곡. 해리의
사우스 캐롤라이나 출신인 전 연인에 대한 노래이다. 그런데 "딱 한 번 만나고 이 노래를 썼다"라는 가사가 있어서 연인보다는 잠깐 데이트 한 사이가 더 맞을 듯. 앨범 작업 비하인드 다큐멘터리에서 해리가 가사 도입부에 대상의 실제 이름이 나온다고 말했고, 디렉셔녀들이 찾아본 결과 타운스 존스(Townes Jones)라는 이름의 일반인 대학생이라고 한다.
- [ 가사 보이기 ]
[Verse 1]
Same lips red, same eyes blue
Same white shirt, couple more tattoos
But it's not you and it's not me
Tastes so sweet, looks so real
Sounds like something that I used to feel
But I can't touch what I see
[Chorus]
We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat
[Verse 2]
The fridge light washes this room white
Moon dances over your good side
And this was all we used to need
Tongue-tied like we've never known
Telling those stories we already told
'Cause we don't say what we really mean
[Chorus]
We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat
[Chorus]
We're not who we used to be
We're not who we used to be
We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me
We're not who we used to be
We don't see what we used to see
We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat
[Outro]
Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat
I'm just trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

연인간의 권태기를 노래하는 곡으로,
테일러 스위프트에 대한 곡이라는 루머가 있다. 원래 해리가 '
Made in the A.M.' 앨범에 수록하기 위해 만들었던 곡이지만, 곡의 내용이 너무 개인적이라는 이유때문에 반려 당했다고 한다.
'''Sweet Creature'''

- [ 가사 보이기 ]
[Verse 1]
Sweet creature
Had another talk about where it's going wrong
But we're still young
We don't know where we're going
But we know where we belong
[Pre-Chorus]
And, oh, we started
Two hearts in one home
It's hard when we argue
We're both stubborn
I know, but oh
[Chorus]
Sweet creature, sweet creature
Wherever I go, you bring me home
Sweet creature, sweet creature
When I run out of road, you bring me home
[Verse 2]
Sweet creature
Running through the garden
Oh, where nothing bothered us
But we're still young
I always think about you and how we don't speak enough
[Pre-Chorus]
And, oh, we started
Two hearts in one home
I know it's hard, we argue
We're both stubborn
I know, but oh
[Chorus]
Sweet creature, sweet creature
Wherever I go, you bring me home
Sweet creature, sweet creature
When I run out of road, you bring me home
[Pre-Chorus]
And, oh, when we started
Just two hearts in one home
It gets harder when we argue
We're both stubborn
I know, but oh
[Chorus]
Sweet creature, sweet creature
Wherever I go, you bring me home
Sweet creature, sweet creature
When I run out of road, you bring me home
You'll bring me home

2017년 5월 2일 Beats 1에서 최초로 공개한 잔잔한 기타송이다. 한 집에서 산다는 가사 때문에
래리 쉬퍼들이 난리를 피우기도 했다. 라디오 인터뷰에서 인터뷰어가 이 곡이 루이 톰린슨에 관한 곡이냐고 묻자 제대로 대답하지 못하고 계속 말을 더듬으며 "가사를 잘 들어본다면 그것에 대한 것인지 아닌지 알 수 있을 거에요"라는 대답을 하며 논란이 더욱 거세어졌다.
카풀 카라오케에서 밝힌 바로는 본인의 어머니가 앨범에서 가장 좋아하는 곡이라고 한다.

[Intro]
I saw this angel
I really saw an angel
[Verse 1]
Open up your eyes, shut your mouth and see
That I'm still the only one who's been in love with me
I'm just happy getting you stuck in between my teeth
And there's nothing I can do about it
Broke a finger knocking on your bedroom door
I got splinters in my knuckles crawling across the floor
Couldn't take you home to mother in a skirt that short
But I think that's what I like about it
[Chorus]
She's an angel
Only angel
She's an angel
My only angel
[Verse 2]
I must admit I thought I'd like to make you mine
As I went about my business through the warning signs
End up meeting in the hallway every single time
And there's nothing we can do about it
Told it to her brother and she told it to me
That she's gonna be an angel, just you wait and see
When it turns out she's a devil in between the sheets
And there's nothing she can do about it
Hey, hey
[Chorus]
She's an angel
Only angel
She's an angel
My only angel
She's an angel
Only angel
She's an angel
My only angel
[Bridge]
(Ooh, ooh, ah-ah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Wanna die, wanna die, wanna die tonight
Wanna die, wanna die, wanna die tonight
Wanna die, wanna die, wanna die tonight
[Chorus]
She's an angel
Only angel
She's an angel
My only angel
She's an angel
My only angel
She is an angel
My-my-my-my only angel

초반부의 마치 교회에서 흘러나올 듯한 성가 분위기에서 급격하게 곡이 하드한 록 음악 트랙으로 바뀐다. 롤링 스톤즈 풍의 코러스와 기타 리프가 담긴, 앨범에서 '
Kiwi'와 함께 가장 하드록스러운 노래다.
- [ 가사 보이기 ]
[Verse 1]
She worked her way through a cheap pack of cigarettes
Hard liquor mixed with a bit of intellect
And all the boys, they were saying they were into it
Such a pretty face, on a pretty neck
[Chorus]
She's driving me crazy, but I'm into it, but I'm into it
I'm kinda into it
It's getting crazy, I think I'm losing it, I think I'm losing it
Oh, I think she said "I'm having your baby, it's none of your business"
"I'm having your baby, it's none of your business"
(It's none of your, it's none of your)
"I'm having your baby (Hey, ah), it's none of your business" (Oh)
"I'm having your baby (Hey, hey), it's none of your, it's none of your" (Ow!)
[Verse 2]
It's New York, baby, always jacked up (Hey)
Holland Tunnel for a nose, it's always backed up [Sniffing]
When she's alone, she goes home to a cactus (Uh)
In a black dress, she's such an actress [Sniffing]
[Chorus]
Driving me crazy, but I'm into it, but I'm into it
I'm kinda into it
It's getting crazy, I think I'm losing it, I think I'm losing it
Oh, I think she said "I'm having your baby, it's none of your business"
"I'm having your baby, it's none of your business" (it's none of your, it's none of your)
"I'm having your baby, it's none of your business"
"I'm having your baby, it's none of your, it's none of your"
[Bridge]
She sits beside me like a silhouette
Hard candy dripping on me 'til my feet are wet
And now she's all over me, it's like I paid for it (cha-ching!)
It's like I paid for it, I'm gonna pay for this
[Chorus]
It's none of your, it's none of your
"I'm having your baby, it's none of your business"
"I'm having your baby, it's none of your business" (it's none of your, none of your)
"I'm having your baby, it's none of your business"
"I'm having your baby, it's none of your business" (it's none of your, none of your)

'''Ever Since New York'''

[Verse 1]
Tell me something, tell me something
You don’t know nothing, just pretend you do
I need something, tell me something new
Choose your words, 'cause there's no antidote
For this curse, oh, what's it waiting for?
Must this hurt you just before you go?
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me something I don't already know
Oh, tell me something I don't already know
[Verse 2]
Brooklyn saw me, empty at the news
There's no water inside this swimming pool
Almost over, had enough from you
I've been praying, I never did before
Understand I'm talking to the walls
I've been praying ever since New York
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me something I don't already know
Oh, tell me something I don't already know
Oh, tell me something I don't already know
Oh, tell me something I don't already know
[Bridge]
Tell me something, tell me something
You don’t know nothing, just pretend you do
Tell me something just before you go
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me something I don't already know
Oh, tell me something I don't already know
Oh, tell me something I don't already know
Oh, tell me something I don't already know

SNL 무대에서 '
Sign of the Times'와 함께 처음으로 무대에서 공개한 곡이다.
플리트우드 맥의 영향을 받아 전체적으로 잔잔하면서 안타깝고 절절한 분위기의 코러스에 해리의 보컬 하모니가 두드러진다.
- [ 가사 보이기 ]
[Intro]
''Should we just search romantic comedies on Netflix and then see what we find?''
[Verse 1]
I'm selfish, I know
But I don't ever want to see you with him
I'm selfish, I know
I told you, but I know you never listen
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope you can see, the shape that I'm in
While he's touching your skin
He's right where I should, where I should be
But you're making me bleed
[Chorus]
Woman, woman (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Wo-woman, woman
Woman, woman (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Wo-woman, woman (Hey!)
[Verse 2]
Tempted, you know
Apologies are never gonna fix this (Hmm-mm)
I'm empty, I know
And promises are broken like a stitch is
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I hope you can see, the shape I've been in
While he's touching your skin
This thing upon me, howls like a beast
You flower, you feast
[Chorus]
Woman (Ah, ah, ah), woman (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Wo-woman (Hmm-mm), woman (Hmm-mm)
Woman (Dah-duh-dum, dah-duh-dum, dah-dah-dum)
Woman (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Wo-woman (Hmm-mm), woman
[Outro]
Woman

퍼즈 톤의 기타와 느린 리듬이 묘하게 핑크 플로이드를 연상시키며, 연인에게 속박되는 남성의 모습을 말하고 있다. 중간중간 나오는 오리 소리는 본인이 낸 소리라고 한다.

'''From the Dining Table'''
|
[Verse 1]
Woke up alone in this hotel room
Played with myself, where were you?
Fell back to sleep, I got drunk by noon
I've never felt less cool
[Chorus]
We haven't spoke since you went away
Comfortable silence is so overrated
Why won't you ever be the first one to break?
Even my phone misses your call, by the way
[Verse 2]
I saw your friend that you know from work
He said you feel just fine
I see you gave him my old t-shirt
More of what was once mine
[Chorus]
I see it's written, it's all over his face
Comfortable silence is so overrated
Why won't you ever say what you want to say?
Even my phone misses your call, by the way
[Bridge]
Maybe one day you'll call me and tell me that you're sorry too
Maybe one day you'll call me and tell me that you're sorry too
Maybe one day you'll call me and tell me that you're sorry too
But you, you never do
Woke up the girl who looked just like you
I almost said your name
[Chorus]
We haven't spoke since you went away
Comfortable silence is so overrated
Why won't you ever say what you want to say?
Even my phone misses your call
We haven't spoke since you went away
Comfortable silence is so overrated
Why won't you ever say what you want to say?
Even my phone misses your call, by the way

어쿠스틱 기타와 귓속말을 하는듯한 해리의 보컬, 이별한 연인의 전화를 기다리며 그리워하는 섬세하고 슬픈 분위기로 앨범을 마무리한다.

7. 여담
- 본래 앨범의 제목을 'Pink'로 지을 계획이었다. 해리가 밝히길 분홍색이 '오직 유일하게 진정 로큰롤다운 색(the only true rock & roll color)'이라고(...)
