Background and composition
On 1 April 2022, Styles released the lead single "As It Was" to critical acclaim and commercial success.[citation needed] The song was debuted during his Coachella performance.[7] "Late Night Talking" was described as a "glossy R&B shifter" that fills "every available space with some or other moving part, right down to vocal parts mimicking brass".[6]
Music video
The video, directed by Bradley & Pablo and released on 13 July 2022,[8] finds Styles following a portal in his own bed that leads him to an array of other beds — one in an art gallery, another in a restaurant, a theatre, and another that speeds through the streets of London past Buckingham Palace. The clip also comes complete with a pillow fight and Styles officiating a bed-ridden wedding, before falling through the sky on his bed. Critics have interpreted this video as a discussion into how Styles' romantic and sexual entanglements are publicized with Pride Magazine as the beds jump from scene to scene in increasingly public spectacles.[9]
