Harry Styles dragged his new song Daylight out of controversy by dismissing claims that it was inspired by his previous relationship with Taylor Swift.

During an appearance on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM on Wednesday, the One Direction alum discussed the song’s inspiration.

Styles revealed that the newly released song is about a woman who left him frustrated.

Howard couldn’t help but bring up Styles’ previous relationship with Swift, whom he dated between 2012 and 2013, as the latter has a song with the same title on her 2019 album, Lover.

“You’re smiling,” Howard said just before the As It Was singer turned down the speculations.

“You know I’d love to tell you you’re spot-on, but you’re not… We will always wonder,” he said.

The 28-year-old singer said the track was created amid a “stream of consciousness” moment in the recording studio late at night.

Styles recalled that he and his team ‘had to find a way to finish this now’ because the music wouldn’t feel the same once the sun rises.
