Oh Anna

"**Oh Anna**" (also titled "**Anna**") is an unreleased song by Harry Styles and an outtake from his self titled debut album. On April 20, 2022 the song leaked online. It is unknown if it's related to another unreleased song by Styles, "Anne", scrapped form the artist's second album.

## Background

He performed the song live on the second leg of his live tour during 2018 (This was also the first time he played the unreleased “Medicine”). The song title was confirmed as “Oh Anna” on June 7, 2018 when it was listed on the U.S performing rights organization BMI, just as he began the American leg of his tour.

## Music and composition

In the live performance, Styles samples George Michael's "Faith" in the line “Well I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body”. This sample is not used in the studio version.

## Lyrics

### Live

[Verse 1]

I don’t know where you’re laying

Just know it’s not with me

Don’t know what I’d tell you if I

passed you on the street

[Chorus]

I don’t want your sympathy,

but you don’t know what you do to me

Oh, Anna (Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna x2)

Every time I see your face, there’s only so much I can take

Oh! (Oh, Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna)

[Verse 2]

Don’t know how you taste when

There’s smoke in your perfume

So chew me up and spit me out

Nothing left to lose

[Chorus]

I don’t want your sympathy,

but you don’t know what you do to me

Oh, Anna (Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna, Oh Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna)

Every time I see your face, there’s only so much I can take

Oh! (Oh, Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna, Oh Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna)

Woo!

[Guitar Solo] (Oh no, you don't know x4)

[Chorus]

I don’t want your sympathy, but you don’t know what you do to me

Oh, Anna! (Oh, Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna, Oh Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna)

Every time I see your face, there’s only so much I can take

Oh, Anna! (Oh, Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna, Oh Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna)

[Verse 3]

Hope you never hear this

And know that it’s for you

I don’t know what I’d tell you if

You asked me for the truth

[Chorus]

I don’t want your sympathy, but you’ll never know what you do to me

Oh (Oh, Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna, Oh Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna)

Every time I see your face, there’s only so much I can take

Oh (Oh, Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna, Oh Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna)

[Guitar Solo + "Faith" Interpolation]

Well I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body

If I could touch your body

If I could touch your body

If I could touch your body

[Chorus]

I don’t want your sympathy,

But you’ll never know what you do to me

Oh, Anna

Every time I see your face, there’s only so much I can take

Oh Anna! (Oh, Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna, Oh Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna)
