13 6.77 Boyfriends
I dig your cinema: Maz (10)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: dannjohn (4)

The penultimate track on the album proved the least popular on streaming, remaining the least popular album track since its release. It seems Buzzjack agrees - though its average isn't poor by any means, it does just about slip into last place. The song is a commentary from Harry about how boyfriends often mistreat their partners, with inspiration coming from relationships Harry has seen his sister and friends in.

12 6.80 Grapejuice
I dig your cinema: WhoOdyssey (9)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: RyanFM (5)

Though Grapejuice's lowest score is higher than that of Boyfriends, it didn't get any 10s so is only barely ahead of it when averaged out. The third track on the album is the only one so far not to have featured on the Love on Tour setlist, though Harry has of course played it live at the One Night Only shows. The song is about getting over somebody with alcohol, the "grapejuice blues" likely referring to wine.

Great start to the results so far! I didn’t dislike either of these (I gave them 7s!) but they’re bottom 2 of the album for me.

11 7.10 Little Freak
I dig your cinema: Lunar (11)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: dannjohn (4)

Found in the centre of the tracklist, Little Freak is the first tender moment of the album. It's a song about nostalgia, specifically to do with one person, with feelings of regret. Harry wrote the song in a hotel room in Tokyo with two of his friends years before its release. Little Freak was one of the higher selling album tracks on release and has already been certified silver for 200k sales in the UK!

10 7.13 Cinema
I dig your cinema: Nick F1, Nina West (9)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: dannjohn (4)

Track 8 on Harry's House picks up the pace after a couple of ballads, featuring Harry singing about his infatuation with the subject of the song. The song's outro is slightly nonsensical and Harry's not commented publicly on the lyrics and meaning behind them, but he did point at a fan's sign regarding the lyric "you pop when we get intimate" being about poppers at a concert, giving it a thumbs up! laugh.gif

9 7.57 Keep Driving
I dig your cinema: WhoOdyssey (11)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: dannjohn (4)

One of the most uplifting songs on the album, Keep Driving is a song about pushing through and to "keep driving" when everything around you is going wrong. It focuses on the good stuff, which Harry lists in the song - from "maple syrup, coffee, pancakes for two" to "cocaine, side boob". It's been included on the Love on Tour setlist where the final verse in particular is a crowd-pleasing moment!

I forgot to vote for this.

But just for the record... Keep Driving is one of the best songs on the album (especially enjoyable to sing along to when I'm driving!! ��)

8 7.63 Love of My Life
I dig your cinema: Maz, JosephStyles (9)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: dannjohn (4)

Closing the album, Love of My Life was the track used in the album's teaser trailer, albeit in reverse. The track, according to Harry, isn't about a person, but in fact England, which is of course his home country. Harry said "I’ve always wanted to write a song about, like, home and loving England and all that kind of stuff. And it’s always kinda hard to do without being like ‘went to the chippy and I did this thing.'" Anyone noticing a theme with the lowest scorer? laugh.gif

7 7.87 Daylight
I dig your cinema: dannjohn (10)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: …ready for it (6)

Though it hasn't been a single yet, Daylight actually received the music video treatment earlier in the year. It was filmed for The Late Late Show with James Corden and directed by its host, with a budget of $300. Whether the video was responsible for the song's success or not is debatable, but Daylight got to silver quicker than all of the non-singles on the album other than Matilda! The track was written about a lover who pushed Harry away despite all of the affection he gave to them.

6 7.93 Music for a Sushi Restaurant
I dig your cinema: Ansel (9.5)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: RyanFM (3)

The first single drop is the latest one! Music for a Sushi Restaurant opens the album and was one of the biggest immediate hits from the album, peaking at #3 in the UK in album release week and continuing to hold as the third biggest track from the album, now certified gold. Its single push didn't amount to much, but by that point it hardly mattered. Harry said the inspiration for the song came when he heard a Fine Line track in a sushi restaurant: "I was in a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles with my producer and one of our songs came on from the last album, and I kind of said, like, “This is really strange music for a sushi restaurant.”" It got the lowest score given out in the entire rate, surprisingly not from dannjohn, but still manages to reach the top half of the results.

I really don't get the dislike for Sushi Restaurant.
It wasn't immediate for me but now I love the song.
(Hate the video though)

5 8.20 Satellite
I dig your cinema: RyanFM (11)
It's not what I wanted, to leave you behind: dannjohn (4)

Jumping into averages above 8 now and we come to Satellite, RyanFM's favourite song on the album. Satellite is about wanting to be there for someone who keeps you at a distance, using the analogy of a satellite observing a planet. The track has featured on the Love on Tour setlist and is now certified silver in the UK!

Catching up and can't argue with too many of the results. I'd have Sushi... in the top 5 though ohmy.gif

Happy to see Matilda still in the running - shock top 3 place please (although it has tough competition with the big singles still to come).
