Twitter Is Convinced Harry Styles’s New Song “As It Was” Is About Olivia Wilde
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Stop everything: Harry Styles just released his new song “As It Was” (and an accompanying music video, we are simply too blessed), and everyone thinks it’s about Olivia Wilde. You can keep scrolling for the full lyrics, but one particular moment seems to have Twitter convinced the song is inspired by Olivia at least in part. Ahem:
“Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet / I don’t wanna talk about the way that it was / Leave America, two kids follow her / I don’t wanna talk about who’s doin’ it first.”
Enter Twitter:
“Leave America, two kids, follow her.” The wedding bells? The kids in the beginning of As It Was? The upside down home album cover? Harry got the TEA, this has Olivia Wilde’s name written all over it. pic.twitter.com/CvCNrYzm7f

Obviously, Harry hasn’t confirmed that this song is about Olivia and likely never will, but here are the full lyrics courtesy of Genius if you’re compelled to analyze them!
[Intro]
Come on, Harry, we wanna say goodnight to you
[Verse 1]
Holdin’ me back
Gravity’s holdin’ me back
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don’t we leave it at that?
Nothin’ to say
When everything gets in the way
Seems you cannot be replaced
And I’m the one who will stay, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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?”
Ringin’ the bell
And nobody’s coming to help
Your daddy lives by himself
He just wants to know that you’re well, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet
I don’t wanna talk about the way that it was
Leave America, two kids follow her
I don’t wanna talk about who’s doin’ it first
[Outro]
(Hey)
As it was
You know it’s not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
