There are some possible parallels with her 1989 track "Welcome to New York" and the Big Apple is a significant city in their relationship as their first sighting as a couple was in Central Park.
Styles debuted the song on Saturday Night Live on April 15, 2017 as his second performance of the night.
A number of music critics have pointed out the similarities between this song's guitar riff and the one from the 1971 Badfinger track "Baby Blue."
