Pop icon Harry Styles has finally confirmed the meaning of his juicy hit ‘Watermelon Sugar’.
Saying explicitly what anyone who has seen the video already knew, Styles told fans in Nashville that ‘Watermelon Sugar’ is “about the female orgasm”.
“The song is about – it doesn’t really matter what it’s about,” Styles said on 1 October whilst on tour at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.
The “Golden” singer continued: “It’s about, um, the sweetness of life! … It’s also about the female orgasm but that’s totally different, it’s not really relevant. So that settles that.”
In the video for ‘Watermelon Sugar’, Styles frolics on a beach wearing vintage clothes, surrounded by attractive models. He eats a watermelon slice, the attractive models eat watermelon slices, the watermelon slices drip everywhere… you get the picture.
The lyrics are not exactly subtle, either, with plenty of oral references to devour: “I just wanna taste it, I just wanna taste it / Watermelon sugar high / Tastes like strawberries / On a summer evenin’ / And it sounds just like a song / I want your belly / And that summer feelin’ / I don’t know if I could ever go without.”
While Styles may have verbally confirmed the sexy meaning of ‘Watermelon Sugar’ for the first time this weekend, the heavy-handed references to oral sex and vaginas in the lyrics had already given it away to most fans.
