It finally happened: Harry Styles has released new music.
More than a year after One Direction went on hiatus, the mop-haired former member unleashed his debut solo single 'Sign of The Times' at 8am on Nick Grimshaw's Radio 1 breakfast show.
And, unsurprisingly, the melancholy Bowie-esque ballad sent the internet into an emotional meltdown.

While we're maybe not all screaming into an empty pillowcase as we play it on repeat (or are we?), we have to admit that 'Sign of The Times' is rather good. Really good, actually.
