2022 single by Harry Styles
"Late Night Talking " is a song by English singer-songwriter Harry Styles . The song was released to US pop radio as the second single from his third studio album Harry's House on 21 June 2022. A music video for the song was later released on 13 July 2022, in which Styles is shown exploring the world on different beds.
Background and composition
On 1 April 2022, Styles released the lead single "As It Was " to critical acclaim and commercial success.[citation needed ] The song was debuted during his Coachella performance.[ 7] "Late Night Talking" was described as a "glossy R&B shifter" that fills "every available space with some or other moving part, right down to vocal parts mimicking brass".[ 6]
Music video
The video, directed by Bradley and Pablo and released on 13 July 2022,[ 8] finds Styles following a portal in his own bed that leads him to an array of other beds — one in an art gallery, another in a restaurant, a theatre, and another that speeds through the streets of London past Buckingham Palace . The clip also comes complete with a pillow fight and Styles officiating a bed-ridden wedding, before falling through the sky on his bed. Critics have interpreted this video as a discussion into how Styles' romantic and sexual entanglements are publicized with Pride Magazine as the beds jump from scene to scene in increasingly public spectacles.[ 9]
Accolades
He performed a live version of the song on the Today Show on May 19,[ 12] and also included the song in a set he performed for BBC Radio 1 , along with "As It Was ", "Boyfriends" and a cover of "Wet Dream" by Wet Leg on 24 May 2022.[ 13]
"Late Night Talking" made its debut at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of June 4, 2022, following the release of Harry's House .[ 14] After being officially released as the second single from the album, the song peaked at number 3 in its sixteenth week on the chart, dated September 17, 2022.[ 15]
In the United Kingdom, where it was first released as a promotional single, the song debuted at number 2 on the singles chart dated 27 May 2022.[ 16] The song returned to the Top 10 after being released as the second single from Harry's House but did not reach a new peak.[ 17]
Globally, the song reached number 2 on the Billboard Global 200 [ 18] and appeared in the Top 10 of the official charts of Australia ,[ 19] Canada ,[ 20] Iceland,[ 21] Ireland ,[ 22] New Zealand ,[ 23] Portugal ,[ 24] among others.
