Harry Styles recalls an emotional moment on the dance floor in Berlin that helped him feel "free"
The star said the moment affected him for several weeks
Styles is fresh off the release of his new album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.
Harry Styles had a transformative experience hitting the dance floors of Berlin.
The pop star, 32, appeared on the Q with Tom Power podcast on Monday, March 9 to discuss the release of his latest album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., and explained how he finally learned to let loose.
Styles said that while he’s always enjoyed dancing, he struggled to be a “free version” of himself, as he was always hyperaware of people around him whipping out their phones and cameras.
Early last year, he started going to Berlin, which ultimately helped change his perspective.
“It’s so baked in as part of Berlin culture that everyone deserves to go dancing and be free,” he said. “I was in a place where I just felt so safe, in a way, that I don’t think I had for a while in terms of really letting go.”
He continued, “And I remember standing in the middle of the dance floor and I had my hands up and I was kind of just breathing and I closed my eyes and I remember the feeling of, ‘Oh, I’m no longer scanning the room to see if anyone’s like, filming or anything.’ I just felt like, ‘Oh, I’m just on my own right now and I feel so free.’”

Styles said the realization was “really emotional” for him, and he remembers being in the club in a “trance state in the music and feeling tears roll down my face.”
The Grammy winner said he was moved to have been able to share such a “beautiful experience” with strangers who were also going through a similar transformation.
“I felt how much that affected me for like, weeks after that,” he said. “I felt this real afterglow of just a really big shift in, ‘Oh, there’s something there for me that I want to experience again. There’s something in that state of freedom that I think is a really interesting thing to explore for me as a musician as well.’”
The result of that, Kiss All the Time, is a record that feels inspired by artists like LCD Soundsystem, and features dance floor-ready numbers like “Dance No More” and the lead single “Aperture.”
Styles celebrated the release with a one night only concert in Manchester on March 6, which was filmed and released as a Netflix concert special two days later.
He’s set to pull double duty as host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live on March 14. Then, he’ll kick off his Together, Together concert dates in May. The global residency run will take the star across seven cities, and will include 30 dates in New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
