Kiwi (song)


"Kiwi" is a song recorded by English singer and songwriter Harry Styles for his self-titled debut studio album. The song was released as the third and final single from the album.

Background

The song is one of the more sexually overt songs on the album, and includes lyrics about cigarettes, liquor, a femme fatale, and a one night stand with a girl. Styles told BBC Radio 1 that the song "started out as a joke, now it’s one of my favourite songs. It’s one of the first ones I wrote for the album when I was getting out a lot of energy".

Music video

The music video for the song was released on 8 November 2017, directed by the filmmaking duo Us. It follows Styles and a group of children as they engage in large cake fight in Wimbledon Chase Primary School. Child actress Beau Gadsdon plays Styles' female lookalike in the video.
