Matilda

This ballad finds Harry Styles addressing a girl who's been ill-treated by her family. The singer encourages Matilda to stop associating with these people and move on from the toxic environment.

Styles wrote the song after an acquaintance opened up to him about their home situation. The "As It Was" singer didn't feel what she told him was normal and advised her to get some help.

During the song, Styles listens to Matilda's painful story without inserting himself into it. "It's a weird one, because with something like this, it's like, 'I want to give you something, I want to support you in some way, but it's not necessarily my place to make it about me because it's not my experience,'" Styles told Apple Music. "Sometimes it's just about listening. I hope that's what I did here. If nothing else, it just says, 'I was listening to you.'"
