While you take in all that great news, let’s have a little dream about what we’d most like to hear from Hazza’s solo debut.

A duet with another member of One Direction

A Larry Stylinson track? Or maybe Liam will have written a song for Harry? OR MAYBE THEY’LL JUST SLIDE A NEW ONE DIRECTION TUNE ON THERE? OK, we got overexcited with the last one, but surely there’ll be at least a sniff of another 1D member on this beautiful, authentic record. Surely.

An unexpected EDM track

We wouldn’t have put money on hooking up with DJ for his debut solo single, but he did, and Just Hold On stormed to number one in the UK charts. Could Harry emulate his bandmate’s success by teaming up with another superstar DJ? , , are you listening?

A collaboration with Ed Sheeran

So that's why he and Taylor Swift get on so well.

We might not have seen them together in a while, but the bromance between Hazza and goes way back, so it would make total sense for them to hook up musically. Plus, when you consider , the odds are pretty good. Maybe Ed spent part of his gap year writing for Harry? Who knows.

A song we can assume is about Taylor Swift

She is finally working on a follow up to 1989. Rejoice!

One Direction’s Perfect was rumoured to be about Harry’s ex-girlfriend, , but a solo single would give him much more freedom to share further hints about their relationship that we’re clearly still obsessed with. Or, curveball, he could just duet with TayTay. did, after all.

And maybe one about Kendall Jenner

Was Hendall ever enough of a ‘thing’ to inspire an epic love song? Any relationship that involved a St Barts yacht trip probably was, right?

A disco anthem with Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars is writing with Harry Styles for his solo album

No one knows how to write a big pop chorus quite like Bruno

You might remember letting the cat out the bag last year when he told Radio Times, “I met Harry Styles in an airport. ‘Oh, you’re writing, Harry? Great, who with?’ He goes, ‘Well, I just spent a week with , and I’m about to spend a week with ’.” Casual.

An ode to his hair

Or maybe just a rock cover of ’s Whip My Hair? We can but dream.
