American Girls

On March 6, 2026, Harry Styles released American Girls as the second single from his fourth album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. Co-written and co-produced with Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson, the track is a sharp turn into Italo disco and house, built on a four-on-the-floor beat and shimmering synths. It debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart and cracked the top ten in more than a dozen countries, including the US, Canada, and Australia.

The song's lyrics are a playful, observational take on Styles and his friends' fascination with American women during their US tours. He described it as light-hearted, hovering between temptation and detachment. Critics compared its sound to The 1975 and James Blake, noting echoes of David Bowie in its synth-driven production. The album, a 14-track collection, leans heavily into dancefloor energy, with American Girls as a centerpiece.

The official music video, directed by Tanu Muiño, dropped the same day. It channels an action-movie fantasy: Styles performs stunts in harnesses and car rigs, with stunt doubles and crew visible, creating a self-aware, tongue-in-cheek aesthetic. The video racked up tens of millions of views on YouTube within weeks. Early remixes from underground producers and placements on fashion show playlists underlined the song's club and fashion resonance. [edit]
