March 16 (UPI) -- Harry Styles takes the stage in a new episode of NPR's Tiny Desk series.

Styles was accompanied by Sarah Jones on drums, Mitch Rowland on guitar, Adam Prendergast on bass, Ny Oh on guitar, Charlotte Clark on piano, Wurlitzer and guitar.

"Cherry," "Watermelon Sugar," "To Be So Lonely" and "Adore You" all appear on Styles' second solo album, Fine Line, released in December.

Styles recalled how he wrote "Watermelon Sugar" while in Nashville, Tenn., in 2017 following the release of his debut, self-titled solo album.

"This song I'm going to play for you, I actually wrote in 2017 while I was on the tour for the first album," the singer shared.

"It's probably the longest it's ever taken me to finish a song," he said. "We kind of liked it when we first had it and then I really hated for a long time ... It kept coming back into the mix. It's kind of about that initial first euphoria when you start seeing someone."
