It’s a ballad from One Direction that conveys a new, more mature appeal.

As It WasHarry Styles

Harry Styles – As It Was (Official Video)

One of the most talked-about songs of the first half of 2022, “As It Was.” Sung by Harry Styles, a member of the boy group One Direction that captivated women around the world, the track became a global sensation immediately after its release.

I believe the reasons for its success lie in its musicality, which incorporates the synth-pop trend of the 1980s, and its romantic lyrics.

The contrast between the stylish synth-pop sound and the romantic lyrics is striking, so be sure to check out the Japanese translation as well.
