Harry Styles is back with a sexy new track that feels like a summer banger

Cape Town – It's been two years since former One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles released his self-titled debut album. 

The singer and songwriter received critical acclaim for the work and took his time coming back. 

Back in August he was on the cover of Rolling Stone, shirtless and promised that his new album was all about "having sex and being sad".

Now, we have our first taste of the 25-year-old's new music produced by Tyler Johnson and Kid Harpoon, who he has worked with in the past. 

On Thursday, Harry shared his new single, Lights Up, along with a steamy new music video shot in Mexico (that he told locals was a mayonnaise advert).
