Harry Styles makes his "worst music" when he tries hard

He said: "I have always made my worst music when I’m trying the hardest and when it feels a little bit too easy and feels a bit safe and it’s just like, ‘Oh yeah, this is what people want'. I try to write music as a fan of music. I just don’t really know how else to do it, I guess.

"Ultimately, everyone who works in music are just fans. Like I’m just a fan of music and get to make some, so I try to make it from that perspective."

Harry finally felt confidence as a solo artist when he was "accepted" by the crowds at his show.

Speaking on SiriusXM, he added: "The confidence came after feeling accepted by the crowds. When I went out to do shows on my own, I was amazed people were coming to see me."

Meanwhile, Harry previously revealed he wants his fans to relate to his music.

He said: "I think the music obviously means so much to me. It's kind of why I tend not to explain songs too much because I think it's important for it to, I guess to allow it to mean whatever it means to different people. And I know there's songs that I've loved in my life where I find out it's about something else and I'm almost like, 'Oh, I wish I didn't know that, because it used to mean so much to me.' And it's amazing if people can relate to your music. I'm just a fan of music.

"I don't think I operate on any kind of higher level of listening than anybody else. I just love music and I make what excites me and I think if somebody else can relate to it and take something from it, then that's kind of the biggest compliment they can give me."
