She (song)

"**She**" is a song performed by Harry Styles. It serves as the eighth track from Harry's album, Fine Line.

## Music and composition

Harry Styles, via *Rolling Stone:*

> “Mitch played that guitar when he was a little, ah, influenced. Well, he was on mushrooms, we all were. We had no idea what we were doing. We forgot all about that track, then went back later and loved it. But Mitch had no idea what he did on guitar that night, so he had to learn it all over from the track. That one to me feels really British. I usually sing with a slight American twang, because the first person I ever listened to was Elvis Presley. When I’ve been doing the track listing, and ticking off the ones to definitely make the album, it’s always in the first three to be ticked. That’s a phenomenal song.”

## Critical Reception

The A.V. Club opined:

> “Kaleidoscopic vocals, courtesy of Lucius and a gospel choir, propel “Treat People With Kindness,” which has a strong ’70s musical theater vibe. “She” is a gnarly prog-pop epic with hollowed-out electric guitar sprawls and seasick sonic atmospheres, while the velvety soul singles “Adore You” and “Lights Up” are luxurious.”

The Consequence of Sound opined:

> “And on the sultry “She”, the singer acknowledges that his ideal woman is just a figment of his imagination who’s confined to his daydreams. It sounds like the most painful admission of all, as Styles yelps in an anguished falsetto that gives way to Mitch Rowland’s smoky (albeit slightly pedestrian) outro guitar solo. It’s the closest Styles and his bandmates come to fully cutting loose, and that flexing is sorely missed on the rest of *Fine Line*. What’s a classic rock record without some histrionics?”

## Lyrics

Nine in the morning, the man drops his kids off at school

And he's thinking of you, like all of us do

Sends his assistant for coffee in the afternoon

Around 1:32, like he knows what to do

She (She), she lives in daydreams with me (She)

She's the first one that I see, and I don't know why

I don't know who she is (She, she)

He takes a boat out, imagines just sailing away (Away, away)

And not telling his mates (Not telling his mates)

He wouldn't know what to say (Wouldn't know what to say, to say)

She (She), she lives in daydreams with me (She)

She's the first one that I see, and I don't know why

I don't know who she is (She)

She (She), she's the first one that I see (She)

She lives in daydreams with me, and I don't know why

I don't know where she is (She, she)

Lives for the memory

A woman who's just in his head (Just in his head)

And she sleeps in his bed (His bed)

While he plays pretend (Pretend)

So pretend (Pretend)

She (She), she lives in daydreams with me (She)

She's the first one that I see, and I don't know why

I don't know who she is (She, she)

She (She), she's the first one that I see (She)

She lives in daydreams with me, and I don't know why

I don't know where she is (She, she)
