Harry Styles, silliest, raunchiest comedian and cheeky golden-voiced king of my heart, has been on a roll lately. Not only did he outdo himself earlier this month on SNL, but he also has been slowly dropping singles from his forthcoming new album Fine Line. One of those singles is called "Watermelon Sugar," and Harry just revealed in an Apple Music interview that the lyrics are...pretty sexually charged.

Well, kind of.

For context, the first verse of the song goes:


"Tastes like strawberries on a summer evenin'/And it sounds just like a song/I want more berries and that summer feelin'/It's so wonderful and warm." That's before the bits about "[wanting] to taste it" and "getting washed away in you."

The cool teens of the internet were of course the first to note that "watermelon sugar" is very clearly related to oral sex. In fact, UrbanDictionary.com confirms it's, uh, a "term used for male precum while giving oral sex." Cue the tweets:

Anyway, all this is to say that when Harry was confronted by Apple Music's Zane Lowe about the meaning of the song, Harry kind of confirmed and kind of denied that "Watermelon Sugar" is a super sexy song.

"'Watermelon Sugar' is out," Zane said. "Everyone's kinda figured out what it's about: the joys of mutually appreciated oral pleasure." Harry replied: "Is that what it's about? I don't know." And then he smiled like THIS:
