Harry Styles has explained that the title of his upcoming album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally reflects his personal outlook on life and the mindset he tries to live by.
The 31 year old artist spoke about the inspiration behind the album name during an appearance on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show with Fleur East, Will Best and James Barr, where he shared why the phrase resonates so deeply with him.
Harry said: "It’s a life mantra! It’s unhealthy to disco all the time so loving and moving through your life with love and then taking a break every now and again to have some fun is a really good way to approach your life. And I feel like that's what I did for the last couple of years and it led to positive changes in my life so..."
He also joked about how his time living in Italy influenced the idea, smiling as he added: "You can probably stop [kissing] to eat and stuff - definitely an extended lunch break - and then right back to it… I spent a lot of time with Italians the last year or so and they’re kissing all the time so… it’s just art imitating life."
Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally marks Styles’ first studio album since 2022’s Harry’s House, which launched at number one in both the UK and the US before earning three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
After almost four years away from releasing a full length project, Harry admitted he did not want to rush the process, explaining that stepping back allowed him to grow creatively and personally.
He said: "For me the making of the whole album was a really important time in my life. Taking a big step away from everything, I just learnt a lot about myself and the way that I wanted to work ... I feel really excited about it, I’m excited to play it to people and that felt like a really good reason for the timing to be right for putting it out."
The singer also shared why he selected Aperture as the lead single from the record, noting that it naturally became the track he returned to whenever he talked about the album.
The former One Direction member said: "As we were discovering things in the studio and things were happening I just started realising that when I would play it to people this is always the first song I would play. It became track one on the album because that’s what I wanted to set the tone with. It felt like this is what I want people to hear first to set the stage for it."

Sharon Osbourne has revealed she is holding early discussions about bringing Ozzfest back in 2027 as a tribute to her late husband Ozzy Osbourne.
The iconic metal festival was last staged as a full standalone event in 2018, followed by a one off New Year’s Eve show in 2019. Sharon now feels interest in a proper return is stronger than ever and says initial talks are already underway with Live Nation. Her vision is for a comeback that is larger in scale, more inclusive in sound and truly international in reach.
Speaking to Billboard, she said: “It was something Ozzy was very passionate about: giving young talent a stage in front of a lot of people. We really started metal festivals in this country. It was [replicated but] never done with the spirit of what ours was, because ours was a place for new talent. It was like summer camp for kids.”
Sharon has also made it clear she wants the festival to grow with its audience, suggesting the next version of Ozzfest could reflect modern listening habits by opening the door to a wider range of sounds beyond traditional metal.
She later added: “I’d like to mix up the genres.”
Should the plans come together, Ozzfest would once again travel internationally, recalling its late nineties and early two thousands peak when it became both a launching pad for emerging bands and a major platform for established heavy acts.
In an earlier episode of The Osbournes Podcast, Ozzy, who died in July 2025 aged 76, asked whether the festival could ever return. Sharon responded without hesitation: "Yeah, sure. Of course."
Their daughter Kelly then raised the issue of rising booking fees, suggesting that managers need to be more realistic when negotiating festival appearances.
Sharon responded: "Why is it when it comes to us that everybody thinks that we are trillionaires, and so that every manager who wants their band on our festival wants one of the trillions they think we’ve got to put on the festival?”
Ozzfest was originally founded by Ozzy and Sharon in 1996, at a time when she was also managing the Black Sabbath frontman, and began life as a two day event.
A year later, the festival expanded into a touring format, although by the time it returned in 2018 it had been scaled back to a single night at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
That final edition featured Ozzy at the top of the bill alongside artists such as Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson and Korn’s Jonathan Davis.
