He explains that while they "don't know where going," they "know where belong," which refers to them knowing that they need to stay together. He even excuses the problem by saying "we're still young," taking pressure off the need for the perfection and helping them to enjoy the moment they're in. In the lyrics of the first verse of "Sweet Creature," Harry Styles sings to a woman who he calls "weet creature " and comments on how they've been talking about how things have been "going wrong," but the fact that he doesn't go into depth on what's going wrong and only casually mentions it later suggests that while something may be going wrong, it's not necessarily ending the relationship.

Had another talk about where it's going wrong The song doesn't get into much detail, but we do hear him singing about this woman who it's hard to argue with but who brings him "home" when he's not able to go on by himself. The big idea behind "Sweet Creature" is Harry Styles singing about a relationship that's difficult and involves fighting but that he's willing to go back to because it's still overall stabilizing and powerful. I didn't like "Sign of the Times," but I'm actually digging "Sweet Creature." It adds pop-perfection to the indie-style, and it sounds sincerely nice and (pardon the laziness) sweet. I'll be honest: I never thought I'd be a huge fan of Harry Styles's solo-projects. But I think is important to remember that there’s many different types of things that could be about a person".Harry Styles just released the next single from his upcoming album Harry Styles, and if any song from any former One Direction band member is going to claim indie influence, it's probably going to be "Sweet Creature." The name's already odd enough to be alternative, and the folksy backing vocals, simple guitar picking, and country-inspired vocal flourishes remind me heavily of acoustic alternative songs about summer days and childhood. I think ‘Sweet Creature’ is definitely about one person. I feel like a lot of my favorite songs that mean something to me… I’d be disappointed if someone told me they were about something else. I think the best thing about music is that everyone can take away different things, and that’s not wrong, there’s not really a wrong answer. It's important to remember it’s not always necessarily the first thing you might think of, but I obviously would never tell someone what they thought was wrong. When later asked if the person knew the song was about them, Styled stated: "Actually, I don’t know. I think if you really listen to the lyrics, you can work out whether it's about that or not, and I would learn towards no". The fun thing with music is you get to write a song that has all you want to say on it and you don't have to explain it much further than that. I don't think I'd ever want to tell someone they're wrong for feeling how they feel about a song, even when they're not necessarily right.


When Styles was asked to clarify whether Sweet Creature was about fellow bandmate Louis Tomlinson, he stated: "People are always going to speculate what songs are about.

This sort of setting is a great use of his voice". He shows off his impressive range on the song’s final chorus, straining expertly to sing, “Sweet creature, sweet creature/ When I run out of rope, you bring me home.” MTV News stated: "Sweet Creature” sounds like someone wanting the intimacy and quiet sensuality of Jeff Buckley’s Grace and Ryan Adams’s Heartbreaker, and those are a strain of grown-up that’s a world away from all we have known of Harry. Rolling Stone gave the song a positive review, stating: "Over tumbling and sprightly guitar picking, Styles details the tumult and potency of young love, fleshing out his lead vocals with simple harmonies and startling background runs. I just wanted to write stuff that was for me and what I feel sounded like me and stuff that I wanted to say and listen to and I feel really happy with it so far." So being mentioned in the same breath as that song is a huge compliment. When asked about the similarities between Sweet Creature and The Beatles Blackbird, Styled stated: "I’m a massive fan of that song, it’s incredible.
