"Kiwi" is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter Harry Styles for his self-titled debut album. The song was released as the third and final single from the album.[2]

Background

The song is one of the more sexually overt songs on the album, and includes lyrics about cigarettes, liquor, a femme fatale, and a one night stand. Styles told BBC Radio 1 that the song "started out as a joke, now it’s one of my favourite songs. It’s one of the first ones I wrote for the album when I was getting out a lot of energy".[3]

Music video

The music video for the song was released on 8 November 2017, directed by the filmmaking duo Us. It follows Styles and a group of children as they engage in large cake fight in Wimbledon Chase Primary School. Child actress Beau Gadsdon plays Styles' female lookalike in the video.[4]

Live performances

In May 2017, Styles performed "Kiwi" on The Late Late Show with James Corden.[5] In November, he performed the song on The X Factor UK[6] and CBS Radio’s 5th annual We Can Survive concert at the Hollywood Bowl; held in honour of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with proceeds going to Young Survival Coalition.[7] The same month, Styles performed on the runway during the 2017 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Shanghai at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, opening the show with "Kiwi".[8]

Commercial performance

The single was certified Gold in March 2020 in US and Silver in UK in April 2020.[9]
