Harry Styles’ ‘Sign Of The Times’: How To Listen To Single On April 7

Harry Styles has already revealed when his debut single, “Sign of the Times,” will be revealed, but now we also know where the One Direction alum’s song will be released first. According to a tweet from BBC Radio 1, the radio station will be the first to premiere the song.

“We’re ready for you @Harry_Styles! Friday morning // Set your alarms,” read the tweet, revealing the song will be released during host Nick Grimshaw’s breakfast show. Styles will also be a guest on the show that morning.

Following the release of “Sign of the Times,” Styles will make his solo debut on “Saturday Night Live” on April 7 when Jimmy Fallon hosts. Musical guests on “SNL” usually perform two numbers during an episode, so Styles could premiere another song during the show.

It’s still uncertain when Styles’ debut album will be released, but after signing with Columbia Records, the label’s CEO, Rob Stringer, told Billboard in February, “We’re close and very excited. We have a record we’re incredibly excited about and it’s not far away from being ready.”

While taking a break from One Direction, Styles has also been working Johnny McDaid of the group Snow Patrol. According to McDaid, Styles’ solo music will “blow the socks off the world.” The two singers have been collaborating “for years” and according to McDaid, “the world is going to be really shocked at what [Styles] comes up with.”

As for the album’s tracklist, not many details are known but towards the end of 2015, Styles registered four songs — “Already Home,” “Coco,” “Endlessly” and “5378 Miles” — with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). The songs were all written by Styles, McDaid and Gary Go. The One Direction singer is listed as the only performers on all four of the songs.
