Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Daylight. By Songfacts®.

Here, Harry Styles sings of a love interest who has spurned him despite his affection. The girl is absorbed in her horoscope and drug habit, and her apathy toward him leaves him frustrated.

When Styles and his producers, Tyler Johnson and Kid Harpoon, started work on the song, they'd already been working all day and everyone was ready to go to bed. However, the One Direction singer felt they were in the moment and needed to finish the track that night. By the time they completed the jam, it was dawn and everybody celebrated by watching the sun rise on the Malibu beach. This explains the stream-of-consciousness lyrics in the chorus. Daylight, you got me calling at all times Ain't gonna sleep 'til the daylight Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight

Styles is glad they stayed up all night in the studio to capture the summery R&B track. "Life, and songs in particular, are so much about moments," he explained to Apple Music. "In surfing, for example, sometimes you don't get the wave and sometimes the wave comes and you haven't practiced. But every now and again, the wave comes and you're ready, you've practiced enough that you can ride it."
