Harry Styles dropped the music video for“Coming Up Roses”on Monday, Oct. 26, and it’s the most delightfully awkward thing he’s done in a minute. The clip puts him in a dance class alongside a pregnant waitress, a man in a neck brace, a cowboy, and a handful of other eccentric characters. Harry fumbles his way through the steps, slowly improves, and eventually twirls a man in a suit straight into a table. Nobody panics, the class keeps going, and the whole room laughs it off.
The video takes a turn for the beautiful when the instructor performs a stunning birdlike solo during the orchestral instrumental. Then class ends, and Harry does what we’d all do: grabs a cookie and poses for a group photo with his new friends. The lyrics about hanging out and being honest through the awkwardness match the video’s whole vibe, which is that connection happens when you stop trying to look cool.
“Coming Up Roses”is the fourth track from his March album“Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally”to get a video. Fans are already calling it a comfort watch, and it’s easy to see why. So the real question: which dance class character would you be? Sound off in the comments.
