Daylight (song)

**Grapejuice** is a song performed by Harry Styles. It is the fifth track from Harry's House.

## Background

Styles unveiled the song a day before its release at the Citi Concert Series for the TODAY show. In a May 2022 interview for the Howard Stern Show, the British singer declared that “Daylight” was written in a “stream-of-consciousness” style after ruminating on a relationship all night—the band stayed up until daylight to finish composing the song.

Additionally, after numerous speculations, Styles confirmed to Howard Stern that the song had no connection to his former girlfriend Taylor Swift’s track “Daylight” from the album *Lover*—a song about finding a healthy new love after a period of toxic relationships.

”You are reading too much into it. You know I’d love to tell you that you’re spot-on, but you’re not. We will always wonder.“

Harry Styles told Zane Lowe of Apple Music:

> "We were like, ‘We have to find a way to stay awake and finish this, because if we all go to bed, then this won’t turn out the way it would if we finished tonight.’ So we powered through, finished it and went down to the beach as the sun was coming up and it was like, ‘Okay. Yeah.’ It felt correct that we’d finished it in that place. Life, and songs in particular, are so much about moments. In surfing, for example, sometimes you don’t get the wave and sometimes the wave comes and you haven’t practised. But every now and again, the wave comes and you’re ready, you’ve practised enough that you can ride it. Sometimes when the songs write themselves like that, it feels like, ‘Okay, there’s a reason why sometimes I sit out there, falling off the board a bunch. It’s for this moment."

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm on the roof

You're in your airplane seat

I was nose-bleedin'

Looking for life out there

Readin' your horoscope

You were just doing cocaine in my kitchen

You never listen

I hope you're missing me by now

[Pre-Chorus]

If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you

You'd be the spoon

Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you

[Chorus]

Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight (Ooh)

Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight (Ooh)

Daylight, you got me calling at all times (Ooh)

Ain't gonna sleep till the daylight (Ooh)

[Verse 2]

Out of New York

I'm on the comedown speed

We're on bicycles

Saying, "There's life out therе"

You've got the antidote

I'll takе one to go, go, please

Get the picture, cut out my middle

You ain't got time for me right now

[Pre-Chorus]

If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you

You'd be the spoon

Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]

Daylight, you got me calling at all times (Ooh)

Ain't gonna sleep till the daylight (Ooh)

Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight (Ooh)

Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight (Ooh)

Daylight, you got me calling at all times (Ooh)

Ain't gonna sleep till the daylight (Ooh)

[Outro]

If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you

You'd be the spoon

Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you
