“American Girls” was released on March 6, 2026 as the second single from Harry Styles’ fourth studio album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. Written and produced by Styles alongside longtime collaborators Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson, the track was recorded across Abbey Road (London), Hansa (Berlin), RAK (London), and Ridgemont studios. Styles has described it as “quite a lonely song,” inspired by watching three close friends get married and his own evolving thoughts on relationships and commitment. The official music video was directed by James Mackel and produced by Object & Animal, with creative direction by Molly Hawkins.
The song debuted at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart and reached the top 10 in over 12 countries including the US, Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, and the Netherlands. It arrived as part of Harry Styles’ highly anticipated return after a four-year album gap since Harry’s House (2022), with Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally marking his boldest sonic departure yet into Italo disco and house territory. The album’s March 6, 2026 release was one of the most streamed pop events of the year, and “American Girls” became an instant standout for its bittersweet, reflective tone set against a danceable disco-house production.
Right at home with perfect timing
A face that knows her perfect lighting
‘Cause time will show that you should try it
Those American girls you spend your life with
“I’ve known you for ages,” it’s all that I’ve heard
My friends are in love with American girls
I’ve seen it in stages all over the world
My friends are in love with American girls
“I’ve known you for ages”
