Harry Styles dropped his new album “Fine Line” on Friday, and it includes a few nods to his ex Camille Rowe.
The former One Direction member’s second studio album is loaded with lyrical breakup material ala Taylor Swift, with the guitar-plucking ballad called “Cherry” featuring a voicemail left in French by his former Victoria’s Secret model paramour.
Translated from French to English, her soft spoken voice can be heard saying, “Hello! Are you asleep? Oh, I’m sorry. Well, no — No, it’s not important. Well — We went to the beach and now we — Perfect! Harry.”
Ahead of the release of the album, Styles, 25, said the track would include the message when he sat down for an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe — and, yes, he got her permission to include it.
“When we listened back to the album, I asked her to add it in,” Styles explained at the time. “It got added in later on, and it felt so part of the song. It just felt like it needed it. We’re friends and stuff, so I asked her if it was OK. And she was OK with it.”
“I wanted [‘Cherry’] to reflect how I felt then,” he continued. “I was feeling not great. It’s all about being not great. Because, you get petty when things don’t go the way you want it. There’s parts that’s so pathetic.”
Other lyrics appear to refer to Rowe as well, as Styles sings, “I just miss your accent and your friends. Did you know I still talk to them? Does he take you walking ’round his parents’ gallery?” Rowe has recently been linked to art dealer Theo Niarchos, who owns a gallery in Los Angeles.
The French-American model, 33, and Styles dated for just a little over a year before breaking up in July 2018.
Styles has also been famously linked to Taylor Swift and Kendall Jenner.
