Singer-songwriter Harry Styles, formerly of One Direction fame, announced his fourth solo studio album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally on January 15, 2026, bringing an end to a years-long hiatus away from touring, new music and, for the most part, the spotlight. Now, Styles is reflecting on what his time away taught him and the changes he's made to his lifestyle, even as he returns with a brand-new album and an upcoming tour.
Styles' most recent album was Harry's House, released in 2022, which coincided with his most recent tour, Love on Tour. That concluded in 2023, marking approximately three years since Styles has taken to the road. Fans were anxiously awaiting both new music and new tour dates, but Styles was trying out a lifestyle change—one which had the music star focusing on slowing down and enjoying the little things in life.
Speaking to The Times, Styles shared what his time spent away entailed as well as the long-term lessons he took away from that era.
"At the end of the tour, the idea of taking time out felt insane. I didn’t know if I could do it. But it was the right time for me. We’d finished the tour in July, and I was turning 30 in February. It was time for me to stop for a bit and pay some attention to other parts of my life," Styles said.
The singer continued, "Presented with this time, I drove [to Italy], and I thought, I’m going to enjoy doing this. When I was in Rome, the city just taught me how to slow down. Italy became so important to me because I was so used to everything moving so quickly and being on the go, but then I remember going to a café and sitting and having a coffee and thinking, 'I don’t remember the last time I sat down and had a coffee—if I’ve ever sat down and just had a coffee.' I was suddenly learning, through my friends, that eating a meal is more than just sitting down and refueling. I realized the pleasure in just being in the moment of what you’re doing. The Romans are the best at that; that’s their speciality. The pace they’ve taught me has been so special."
This time away also allowed Styles to experience things he would have missed otherwise. He explained, "Also, in that time, my sister [Gemma Styles] had a baby, and at any other time in my life, I would have missed a lot of that. To be there to get to know my niece as she’s growing up, it’s so obvious to me what’s real. It was really obvious that was where I wanted to be."
Although Styles is now headed back on tour, he expressed the long-term lessons he will take away as he enters this new phase of life.
"It was important to get away from the image I had of myself. Since I was young, I’d been seeing this version of me that other people see and that was constantly being mirrored back at me. That’s especially the case in the way we use social media now, for everyone, and I’m not immune to that. In having time away from everything, it’s allowed me to have conversations with myself on a deeper level that I didn’t have time to explore before. I’ve made small changes, like not having Instagram on my phone anymore. I feel so much healthier in my relationship with this world that I’m stepping back into," Styles said.
Styles' upcoming tour, Together, Together, will begin this May in Amsterdam and conclude in December in Sydney.
