Harry Styles is inviting fans into “Harry’s House” this spring.

The Grammy-winning pop superstar, 28, announced the arrival of this third studio album last week, providing few details along with a cryptic video.

The 13-track album — the follow-up to 2019’s “Fine Line” — will be released May 20.

The video accompanying Styles’ announcement follows him walking slowly across the stage of an ornate theater in the same outfit he wears in his promo photo. Styles stops and smiles sweetly at the camera before the camera pulls back and the framework of a yellow house rises behind him.

And on Monday, Styles announced that "As It Was," the first single from the album, is dropping at midnight BST on April 1.

Styles’ album announcement came after a few days of online teases that included the emergence of the website youarehome.co, which showed a beige door that updated every day with a different image of a book or theme. A photo of the earth, the cover of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Nature and Selected Essays” and an image of Styles looking pensive were among the visuals.

The stylish singer wrapped his Love on Tour — his second headlining outing since One Direction — in late November. Styles played 42 U.S. shows and grossed nearly $95 million during the hugely successful tour.

In his fall run of live shows Styles consistently made headlines for his interactions with his audience, including helping a fan at a Milwaukee show come out to her mom, who was also in attendance.

The singer's commitment to freedom of expression was also on display when he graced the cover of Vogue — the first man to do so — in December 2020 while wearing a ball gown.

Responding to the criticism by some of his fashion choice, Styles was unapologetic.

“To not wear (something) because it’s females’ clothing, you shut out a whole world of great clothes," he told Variety. "And I think what’s exciting about right now is you can wear what you like. It doesn’t have to be X or Y. Those lines are becoming more and more blurred.”
