“Only Angel” is the sixth track on Harry Styles' self-titled solo debut album.
After a soft, ethereal opening (including an excerpt from “Barfly’‘), “Only Angel” swells and bursts into a rollicking romp that finds Styles reminiscing about his undeniable attraction to a woman he knows wouldn’t be good for him or his future. The track continues the 70s rock-influenced sound heard throughout Harry’s self-titled debut, and the repeated “Ooh-ooh-hoo” hook is very likely a reference to the similar one at the end of each verse in Electric Light Orchestra’s classic tune, “Don’t Bring Me Down”.
“Only Angel” was recorded in one take at Harry’s London home, and the 23-year-old singer has described the song as “perky”. It is certified gold by the RIAA.
