The announcement for “As It Was” came days after the initial promotion for the singer’s upcoming album, Styles began to tease the release of Harry’s House on 23rd March 2022. The hitmaker shared a trailer for his forthcoming third solo album which confirmed the release date of 20th May 2022. The artistic post also features a montage of fast-paced tour footage which concludes with a simple image of the singer on an empty stage standing in front of a yellow house.

The singer has taken a somewhat abstract approach to promoting the new single and Harry’s House; two additional social media accounts were set up under the name You Are Home. The new Instagram account contained posts of arched doors and the new Twitter page also contained mysterious content. During the same period a new website entitled YouAreHome.co was launched The site also uses a heavy theme of doors within its graphics and animation.

The soon to be released single is the first track to be taken from Styles’ upcoming album. Harry’s House will be the singer’s first album since the 2019 release Fine Line. The former One Direction’s second studio album dropped on 13th December 2019 via Columbia and Erskine Records. The album was received well by critics, enjoyed commercial success and reached number two on the UK album charts. The certified double-platinum album also received numerous awards and nominations, and the lead single “Watermelon Sugar” won a Brit Award for British Single Of The Year and a Grammy award for Best Pop Solo Performance.
Fans were left disappointed when the singer announced that his Love On Tour would be delayed due to complications concerning the COVID-19 pandemic. The award-winning artist has now confirmed that his tour will resume after his appearance at California’s Coachella Music and Arts Festival. The tour will restart on 11th June 2022 with a performance at Glasgow’s Ibrox Stadium, and after four performances consisting of two-day residencies in Manchester and London, the tour will conclude with a set at Ireland’s Aviva Stadium.
