Harry Styles seems to be preparing for the release of his first new album in nearly four years. Since wrapping up his Love On Tour in 2023 following the release of his Grammy-winning album, Harry’s House (2022), the 31-year-old British pop star has taken a lengthy musical hiatus, largely remaining out of the public eye. However, it appears that Styles is finally ready to make his highly anticipated comeback with a new project seemingly titled “We Belong Together.”
Billboards emblazoned with the phrase have been cropping up in major cities like New York City, Manchester, Palermo, and São Paulo. Behind the words is a picture of a sold-out stadium filled with cheering fans – the same image that appears at the end of the “As It Was” singer’s newest YouTube video titled “Forever, Forever.”
Posted last month, the over eight-minute clip includes scenes from his final Love On Tour show in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in July 2023. At the end of the video, Styles is seen sitting at the piano playing a ballad alongside his band. The camera then pans to the cheering crowd before the words “We Belong Together” appear on screen.
A website under the same name, https://www.webelongtogether.co/, has also quietly popped up with the same branding, further fueling rumors of an imminent album and tour. The YouTube video, which marks Styles’s first social media post since October 2024 when he posted an emotional tribute to Instagram in honor of his late One Direction bandmate Liam Payne, has sent fans into a frenzy and ignited speculation that new music is on its way.
“This feels like a welcome back and goodbye at the same time,” one person commented on YouTube. “He knows we’ll still forgive him even after ghosting us for almost 2 years,” a second quipped. “This to me is more like a ‘I’m here. Just wait a little longer.’ So excited for what 2026 has in store for us Harry fans,” a third noted.
After One Direction went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016, the “Watermelon Sugar” artist continued making music as a solo artist. He first released his self-titled debut album, Harry Styles, in 2017, followed by his second and third studio albums, Fine Line (2019) and Harry’s House (2022), respectively.
While Styles remained offline and out of the public eye during the past year, he still managed to make headlines last September for running the 2025 Berlin Marathon under the fake name Sted Sarandos. Just months before, he had completed the Tokyo Marathon. He also sparked dating rumors with Zoë Kravitz after they were spotted walking together in Rome last August.
