Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Cherry. By Songfacts®.

Harry Styles poured his heartache following his breakup with the French model Camille Rowe into several of the Fine Line tracks. The pair had a year-long romance before splitting in July 2018; the Victoria's Secret beauty went on to date the art collector Theo Niarchos.

Theo's father owns a multi-million-dollar collection of artwork that is rumored to be one of the biggest in the world. During this mournful acoustic song, Harry mocks Camille's new boyfriend. Does he take you walking 'round his parents' gallery? He also tells her he's remained in touch with her pals. I just miss your accent and your friends Did you know I still talk to them? Harry told Apple Music's Zane Lowe he was still cut up about the breakup when he penned the song. "I was feeling not great. It's all about being not great," he said. "Because you get petty when things don't go the way you want it. There's parts that's so pathetic."

The night Harry Styles wrote the song, everyone had left the studio, apart from him, his frequent songwriting collaborator Tyler Johnson, and his engineer Sammy Witte. Harry told Apple Music that he wanted to be true to how he was feeling about the breakup. At the same time he was feeling under pressure to make "big songs" that were more commercial than the music on his debut solo album. Johnson told him, "You just have to make the record that you want to make right now - that's it." So they stayed up and wrote "Cherry" that night."
