Harry Styles has spent the better part of his solo career inviting us to feel everything. Loudly, stylishly, and occasionally under a mirrorball. "Are You Listening Yet?" is the moment he pauses mid-dancefloor and wonders whether anyone (himself included) has actually been paying attention. "Are You Listening Yet?" is a track from Styles' fourth album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. One of the earliest songs written for the record, it emerged from a moment of personal reckoning. "That was kind of at a time I was doing shows in New York," Styles told Apple Music's Zane Lowe. "I was really like so in it and felt kind of thrashy. That song felt like a reaction to that." The song explores self-awareness and the struggle to pay attention to one's inner voice; confronting the patterns and habits that people recognize but choose to ignore. By the end of the song, Styles is repeating the question, "Are you listening yet?" and you begin to suspect the answer is no. Or worse, yes, but too late. As he told Zane Lowe, the line works almost like a punchline: "By the time you are listening, it's finished." It's less a question than a post-mortem. Harry Styles wrote the song with his regular collaborators Kid Harpoon (Thomas Hull), and Tyler Johnson, who were also the producers on the track. Running 3:12, it's one of the album's more compact tracks and one of three songs featuring the House Gospel Choir. As track 4 on Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., the song sits at the close of the album's powerful opening run: "Aperture," "American Girls," "Ready, Steady, Go!," and then this. Its placement is pointed. By the time we have been swept through six minutes of disco euphoria, a rush of relationship energy, and a sprint of romantic momentum, Styles suddenly stops and asks the question directly: "Are you listening yet?"

God knows your life is on the brink and your therapist's well-fed
The fix of all fixes, un-intimate sex
You like the way she talks, but never what she says
You've had your tummy tickled, are you listening yet?

It's like you're taking up arms, but the message is wet
It sounds inviting, but you don't believe in it yet
You keep forgetting your mantra, which thoughts you had on your own
Ignoring all of your friends at the end of their rope

Now you're all out of choices, are you listening yet?
Between your head and heart and somewhere else instead
Oh, can you hear the voice, the one inside your head?
Oh, are you listening yet?
Oh, are you listening yet?

Don't blink or mix the medium, you're smarter than that
This world is screaming, so you start to scream right back
This unpredictable fun is fun if you know how
If you must join a movement, make sure there's dancing

Now you're all out of choices, are you listening yet?
Between your head and heart and somewhere else instead

Oh, can you hear the voice, the one inside your head?
Oh, are you listening yet?
Oh, are you listening yet?
Now you're all out of choices, are you listening yet?
Between your head and heart and somewhere else instead
Oh, can you hear the voice, the one inside your head?
Oh, are you listening yet?
Oh, are you listening yet?

La, la-la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la

Now you're all out of choices, are you listening yet?
Between your head and heart and somewhere else instead
Oh, can you hear the voice, the one inside your head?
Oh, are you listening yet?
Oh, are you listening yet?
Oh, are you listening yet? (La, la-la-la-la-la)
Oh, are you listening yet?
Oh, are you listening yet?
Oh, are you listening yet? (La-la, la-la)
Oh, are you listening yet?

Oh, are you listening yet? (La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la)
Oh, are you listening yet?
Oh, are you listening yet?
