The lead single from Harry's impending third collection Harry's House, "As It Was" sees Styles singing in a fairly pitiful voice about his clashing sensations of forlornness and the past, concealing it with synths and an energetic sound suggestive of music from the 80s.
In a meeting, Styles depicts the tune as about "transformation, embracing change and previous self, point of view shift and all that sort of stuff."

Harry Styles - As It Was Lyrics Full Song Lyrics
Holding me back,Gravity’s holding me back,I want you to hold out the palm of your hand,Why don’t we leave it at that?,Nothing to say,When everything gets in the way,Seems you cannot be replaced,And I’m the one who will stay,Ooh,In this world,It’s just us,You know it’s not the same as it was,In this world,It’s just us,You know it’s not the same as it was,As it was,As it was,You know it’s not the same,Answer the phone,“Harry, you’re no good alone,Why are you sitting at home on the floor?,What kind of pills are you on?”,Ringing the bell,And nobody’s coming to help,Your daddy lives by himself,He just wants to know that you’re well,Ooh,In this world,It’s just us,You know it’s not the same as it was,In this world,It’s just us,You know it’s not the same as it was,As it was,As it was,You know it’s not the same,Go home,Get ahead,Light speed internet,I don’t want to talk about the way that it was,Leave America,Two kids follow her,I don’t want to talk about who’s doing it first,(Hey!),As it was,You know it’s not the same as it was,As it was,
It just felt like what I needed to say, what I needed to do and the sort of music I needed to make returning.
It was trailed by a few prods through the You Are Home mission and was first reported the melody title and delivery date on March 28, 2022 with a few visual shots from the Music Video.
