Harry Styles sparks global frenzy with cryptic message teasing his return

Harry Styles has sent fans into a meltdown after a mysterious message began appearing on billboards around the world, fuelling intense speculation that he is finally preparing to release new music.

The British pop star, 31, has largely stayed out of the spotlight since wrapping up his Love On Tour in 2023, following the release of his Grammy-winning album Harry’s House in 2022. Now, many believe his long silence is about to end.

The billboards, spotted in cities including New York, Manchester, Palermo and São Paulo, feature the phrase “We Belong Together” alongside an image of a packed stadium of fans.

The same visual appears at the end of Styles’s most recent YouTube upload, instantly setting alarm bells ringing across his fanbase.

The video, titled Forever, Forever, was posted last month and runs for more than eight minutes. It includes footage from his final Love On Tour show in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in July 2023. In the closing moments, Styles is seen sitting at a piano with his band before the camera pans to the cheering crowd and the words “We Belong Together” appear on screen.

Fans have also discovered that a website with the same phrase and branding, webelongtogether.co, has quietly gone live, further intensifying rumours that the message could be the title of his next album or world tour.

The clip marked Styles’s first social media post since October 2024, when he shared an emotional tribute to his late One Direction bandmate Liam Payne. Its sudden appearance after such a long absence has sent fans into a frenzy.

“This feels like a welcome back and goodbye at the same time,” one fan wrote in the comments. Another joked: “He knows we’ll still forgive him even after ghosting us for almost two years.”

Styles first rose to fame as part of One Direction before the group went on an indefinite hiatus in 2016. Since then, he has become one of the world’s biggest solo stars, releasing Harry Styles in 2017, Fine Line in 2019 and Harry’s House in 2022.

Although he has kept a low profile over the past year, Styles has continued to make headlines. In September, he reportedly ran the 2025 Berlin Marathon under the fake name Sted Sarandos, after completing the Tokyo Marathon just months earlier.

He has also been linked to Zoë Kravitz after the pair were spotted walking together in Rome last August.

For now, Styles has not officially confirmed anything. But between the global billboards, the mysterious website and his sudden return to social media, fans are convinced of one thing.

Harry Styles is coming back.
