Love — mostly its absence — is the lyrical bedrock, with Styles showing his lonely, brokenhearted side. “Don't call me ‘baby’ again,” he asks an ex in one song. “Don't call him ‘baby,’" he asks in another. “Cherry” seems to be about his French former flame. “I just miss your accent,” he sings, and the songs ends with a woman's voice cooing in French. (The title may be a joke on "cherie.") “I'm well aware I write too many songs about you,” he writes in the piano-driven ballad ”Falling."
