First, on Mar. 23, he shared the whimsical new cover art for his upcoming sophomore album, Harry’s House, where he rocked ballet flats and bell bottoms á la Julie the American Girl doll. Then just yesterday, he returned again with a new single ‘As It Was’ with an accompanying video.
At the end of the track, an adorable voice peeps: “Go on Harry, we want to say goodnight to you!” Fans immediately took in droves to social media with their theories about who it might be: and many signs pointed to one of Harry’s girlfriend, Olivia Wilde’s, children. Olivia shares son Otis, 7, and daughter Daisy, 5, with ex-husband Jason Sudeikis.

Ultimately, however, while chatting with Fan Breakfast, Harry ultimately debunked the theories, revealing that the voice actually belongs to his goddaughter, Ruby Winston, the daughter of British filmmaker Ben Winston. “It’s my goddaughter at the start of the song,” Harry revealed. “That streak of calling me every night before bed and I missed it once and she wanted to let me know that she was quite angry with me about it. And then I dug it up in the studio one day and added it to the start of the song, and it just kind of stuck. I loved it.” Though a glimpse at Harry’s relationship with Olivia’s two kids may have been in fans’ hearts, the real answer is far too sweet to be disappointed by!
