Background and release

"Watermelon Sugar" was written by Styles, Mitch Rowland, and producers Tyler Johnson and Kid Harpoon. It was originally written in September 2017 while Styles was on a day off from .[4] They went into The Cave Studio in Nashville, Tennessee and started the session by just playing around.[4] They eventually started throwing around some ideas and came up with the repetitive chorus melody.[4] They had the book, In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan and thought it would sound cool as the hook.[4] The song is rumored to be about Styles's ex-girlfriend Camille Rowe, who happens to be a fan of In Watermelon Sugar.[5] [6]

The song was first teased by Styles in a 22 October 2019 tweet writing "Kiwi walked so Watermelon Sugar could run."[7] Shortly after, it was revealed by iTunes to be the second track on Fine Line.[8] "Watermelon Sugar" premiered at 23:30 ET on 16 November 2019 (4:30 UTC on 17 November) as the first promotional single from Fine Line, without any prior notice.[9] [10] [11] It was accompanied by an audio video, showing the cover art for Fine Line, except with a watermelon in the hand.[12] The song later impacted adult contemporary radio in United States on 18 May 2020, as the album's fourth official single and was also sent to radio in Italy and Canada. Styles promoted it with a meme generator on his website that has various lyrics from the song over a watermelon-inspired background.[13]

Music and lyrics

"Watermelon Sugar" is a rock,[14] funk-pop, indie pop,[15] song with 1970s and soul elements.[16] [17] It is composed in time and the key of A minor (in the D Dorian mode), with a tempo of 96 beats per minute and a chord progression of Dm7–Am7–C–G. The track has a structure of verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, post-chorus, bridge, chorus, post-chorus and runs for two minutes and fifty-three seconds.[18] Driven by guitars and horns, the song also contains brass lines, summer-inflected sonics and a simple melody, reminiscent of jazz.[19] [20] [21] It opens with a strummed guitar intro where electric guitar and drum beats soon join in.[22] Trumpets are added in the second chorus, that builds up to the bridge, featuring ecstatic horns and high notes.[23] The song closes with a brass-led outro.[24]

Styles's vocals, which were described as "raspy", span from D3 to A4.[25] [18] The song uses the metaphor of fruit and summer to describe a sexual encounter.[26] According to Styles, the song is about the initial euphoria and excitement when one first starts seeing someone.[4] Styles has also stated that it is about the female orgasm.[27] He uses long notes to get this message across and the last chorus showcases Styles's higher vocal register.[25] The song's lyrics use rhetoric and imagery.[28] Savannah Walsh of Elle wrote about the song's meaning, asking the question "[is he] hankering for a refreshing summer treat or [is he] talking about cunnilingus," while USA Todays Patrick Ryan interpreted it as "Styles evocatively [recalling] a past fling and its sweet aftertaste."[29]

Critical reception

"Watermelon Sugar" was generally well received by music critics. Its guitar hook was praised by Charu Sinha of Vulture.[30] In a positive review from USA Today, Patrick Ryan called it a "intoxicating standout" on Fine Line, writing that it "[encapsulates] the sultry, funky spirit of the project."[29] NMEs Hannah Mylrea called the song "bombastic" while the staff at DIY called it "exciting" and "sizzling."[31] [20] In her review for Rolling Stone, Brittany Spanos wrote "the track has the singer nostalgic for 'that summer feeling,' yearning for berries and the taste of watermelon sugar".[14]

In his review for Variety, Chris Willman compared the song to Maroon 5 while Tim Sendra of AllMusic compared it to "Awaken, My Love!" by Childish Gambino.[16] [32] Writing for Now, Rea McNamara compared it to Jeanette Winterson calling it "sexual, grown-ass and tender" as well as comparing the vocal melody to "Sing It Back" by Moloko.[33] Pastes Ellen Johnson called it Fine Lines most "traditional" song as well as comparing its bassline to Prince.[34] Susan Hansen of Clash wrote that it has a "satisfying vibe" with its sonics.[35] In a negative review from Consequence of Sound, Bryan Rolli called the song "plodding", while also writing it "commits the cardinal sin of being far less interesting than its title."[36] Owen Richards of The Arts Desk also gave a negative review, calling its imagery "nonsensical," writing that it "misses the mark."[28]

Music video

Background and production

The song's accompanying music video premiered on YouTube at 12:00 ET (16:00 UTC) on 18 May 2020. Styles announced the video's premiere a day prior with a teaser video showing a table on a beach, which was in a scene in the music video.[54] It was directed by Bradley & Pablo and filmed in Malibu, California on 30 January 2020.[55] [56] [57] They had tried to work with Styles for other songs on Fine Line and they eventually began working on "Watermelon Sugar" a week before they began filming. The video was inspired by Paul McCartney's 1960s style and was partly filmed using a 35 and 16 mm Arri SR3 camera to make some shots look vintage.[58]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was revealed that the video had been delayed from its original release. Bradley & Pablo were worried that Columbia Records wouldn't release the video due to it looking insensitive, so they added a message at the beginning writing "this video is dedicated to touching."[58] Styles was praised by the models in the video for asking for consent to touch them while filming.[59] [60]

Synopsis

The video opens with a message on a black background writing "this video is dedicated to touching."[61] Styles is then seen walking up to a table with a watermelon slice on a plate, where he sits down.[62] He wears an orange crochet tank, oversized blue sunglasses, bubblegum pink nail polish and his signature "HS" rings. The table cloth on the table is the same material as a boat sail in the "Adore You" video and the sunglasses are the same ones he wore in his 2019 Rolling Stone cover.[63] He puts the plate on the table and begins singing the opening lyrics of the song.[64] Styles is seen running his fingers on the watermelon before taking a bite.[64] This shot was inspired by a picture of Jack Nicholson doing the same pose.[58]

The video then cuts to Styles being surrounded by models who feed him various fruits as well as them enjoying a picnic.[55] The models are seen wearing 1970s floppy hats and high-waisted bikinis.[65] Styles is seen wearing a low-cut floral Hawaiian shirt with pearls and in other shots a sweater vest with a retro collared shirt. The former outfit was inspired by a picture of Paul McCartney at a party.[58] He is also seen lying in the sand, watching the models.[66] Later on, they take a picture, as a group, with all of them holding a watermelon slice each.[67] Styles wears a cropped striped sweater, a skinny fringe scarf and a pair of vintage-inspired ripped jeans, all of which come from Gucci's fall 2020 collection.[68] [69]

Reception

Michele Amabile Angermiller of Variety compared the video to Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" while Harper's Bazaars Chelsey Sanchez compared it to Mamma Mia!.[70] In her review for Evening Standard, Sara Feigin noticed a similarity to Styles's previous video "Lights Up" with the models surrounding him, while The Independents Ellie Harrison thought the beach was the same beach used by Styles's former band One Direction's video "What Makes You Beautiful".[71] [72] Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone and Savannah Walsh of Elle both called the video "colorful" and "beachy".[62] [73] Writing for Us Weekly, Nicholas Hautman called it "ultrasexy" and "retro-filtered." In her review for Entertainment Weekly, Rosy Cordero wrote "Harry Styles is wishing he was back on the beach surrounded by beautiful people, deliciously colorful fruits, and no coronavirus."[74]

Carolyn Droke of Uproxx called the video "a celebration of summer" while Morgan Smith of People called it "dreamy." Writing for NME, Will Lavin described the video as "Styles [throwing] a beach party with a group of women, who can all be seen eating watermelon throughout."[75] Flares Katherine Singh wrote "we'll never be able to look at a watermelon the same again" and "[the video] is pretty much poised to be the video of summer 2020."[76] Alisha Pawa of Lifestyle Asia called the video "light-hearted" and wrote that it "evokes the nostalgia of better summer days."[77] The music video has received over 220 million views on YouTube.[78] In 2021, Rolling Stone named Watermelon Sugar the 98th best music video of all time.[79]
