Harry Styles is back! Singer unveils his music comeback with new album KISS ALL THE TIME. DISCO, OCCASIONALLY - four years after his last music release

Harry Styles has announced his long-awaited return to music with his first new album in four years.

The singer, 31, confirmed on Thursday his new album KISS ALL THE TIME. DISCO, OCCASIONALLY will be released on Friday, March 6.

The album's cover showed Harry dancing under a disco ball in a darkened landscape, with the font matching that of the mysterious posters that had appeared around the globe, sparking speculation an announcement was imminent.

The former One Direction star had been dropping clues about his comeback in recent days, which have included a nine-minute YouTube video, global posters and a mysterious website which encouraged fans to sign up to WhatsApp updates.

Fans who have been following the breadcrumbs last night received a surprise voice note from the star, singing 'we belong together'.

The We Belong Together message has been incorporated in all of the hints about his next project so far, which began with the video titled Forever, Forever,

The clip, which was shared on December 27, shared footage from his final Love On Tour performance at the RCF Arena Campovolo in Reggio Emilia, Italy in July 2023.

The video includes scenes of fans arriving hours beforehand, preparing for the show, and talking about what the night meant to them.

Harry is then at a piano playing a heartfelt and mostly instrumental piece which wasn't released previously outside of the performance. 

The clip ended with the message 'we belong together', which most fans interpreted as a sign that Harry was returning to music in some capacity. 

Following this, posters bearing the phrase we belong together and related lines like see you very soon, it’s all waiting there, here we go again, and let the light in started showing up in major global cities on January 12.

The imagery and phrases on these posters match the ending line and crowd shots from Harry’s Forever, Forever video - so fans quickly linked the two.

Around the same time, a cryptic new website — webelongtogether.co — went live, coinciding with the global poster sightings.

The homepage shows a looped video of a concert crowd - matching imagery from Harry’s Forever, Forever video - with no direct announcement.

At the bottom of the site is a copyright notice for Sony Music Entertainment — Harry’s label via Columbia Records.

When fans interact with the site it redirects them into a WhatsApp contact/group named HSHQ (Harry Styles Headquarters).

Several fans have shared that after adding the HSHQ WhatsApp contact from the site and sending the pre-populated we belong together message, they received an invitation to add their contact details and a confirmation message.

The voice note is perhaps the most exciting snippet yet, as many have taken it as a definite sign of new music and possibly an extract from an upcoming song.

It has also been noted that Harry’s prior albums used similar cryptic strategies before announcements, including DoYouKnowWhoYouAre.com and YouAreHome.co.

Fans took this as a huge sign that he is close to announcing his new music, and took to X to share their reaction to Harry sending them a voice note.

They said: 'Being personally serenaded by Harry Styles via WhatsApp was not on my 2026 bingo card'; 'Good morning yesterday Harry texted me saying we belong together'; 'Your idols don't know you exist - But why did Harry Styles send me a message on WhatsApp?';

'Hahhaa, I went on WhatsApp and Harry Styles had sent me a video of himself singing three hours ago'; 'My close and personal friend Harry Styles just sent me a voice demo via WhatsApp like that's my European brother right there'; 

'I'll tell my grandchildren that Harry Styles messaged me on WhatsApp and sent me an audio saying we belong together, but that I rejected him to marry his grandfather';

'We are realising that we received an audio of Mr Harry Styles' voice on WhatsApp?? I will tell nieces about it'; 'A casual day chatting with Harry Styles on WhatsApp'; 'And guess who received a WhatsApp audio of Harry Styles singing???';

'Not Harry Styles, who decided to send WhatsApp voice messages'; 'I can't believe Harry Style send me an audio over WhatsApp telling me that we belong together like!?'

'The duality of WhatsApp, I have a group chat with my colleagues and a chat with my good friend Harry Styles going at the same time.' 

The Daily Mail previously revealed that Harry was back in the studio recording a new top secret album, in what is expected to be his most 'emotional' project yet.

He was spotted stepping inside Rak music studios in St John's Wood near Regent's Park as he got to work on the new record.

His third studio album Harry's House was released in 2022 and won him Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album as well as a Brit Award for Album of the Year. 

It comes after Harry sparked murmurs he's taken his relationship with girlfriend Zoe Kravitz to a whole new level.

It was reported last week that Zoe was believed to be 'moving in' with Harry. 

Before this, in photos obtained by The Sun, a chunky gold band could be seen on Zoe's ring finger as she enjoyed a romantic stroll with Harry through Rome.

The accessory appeared to be the same one Zoe, 37, was seen wearing last month - a multi-layered gold ring paired with a singular band.
