The video showed a lone table set up on a beach with a slice of watermelon on a plate.

Harry took a seat at the table dressed in a typically quirky outfit, with a sleeveless orange crochet knit vest teamed with burgundy trousers.

While sat beside the ocean with a grainy filter over the top, Harry also donned large blue sunglasses and pink nail polish.

Some fans have made comparisons to Elton John’s 1983 music video for I’m Still Standing.

In one particular moment, there was a line of people pressed against one another who then fell in a domino effect which was also seen in Elton’s video.

Harry also donned sunglasses similar to some of Elton’s iconic pairs.

The video was filmed on a Malibu beach back in January, before coronavirus restrictions meant it was socially unacceptable to touch.

The video features the Falling singer receive kisses from the women as they frolicked in the sand and fed each other fruit. 

Towards the end of the video, Harry and the rest of the ensemble ran into the sea with the backdrop of a golden sunset behind them.
