“Kiwi” by Harry Styles

“Kiwi” centers on the singer’s romantic relationship with a woman whom we can say has wild, loose sort of lifestyle. Some analysts have described her character as being a femme fatale. However, there isn’t anything in the lyrics which state that she is out to harm the singer per se. Rather the way the narrative plays out is that he hooked up with her, in an intimate sense, even though his mind was telling him not to. The reason being is that she proved to be too attractive for him to resist. And at the end of the day, what apparently happens in the aftermath is that she claims she is pregnant with his baby. And this is despite she apparently being involved with at least one other guy.

Are the lyrics of “Kiwi” autobiographical?

So being that Harry Styles is a mega celebrity, fans have gone about analyzing the lyrics of “Kiwi” and trying to ascertain who exactly this lady he is referring to is. The most-plausible theory has been a popular model named Georgia Fowler whom Harry is rumored to have once hooked up with. And the reason some fans believe so, in addition to their alleged fling, is that she is from New Zealand, thus making her a Kiwi, as that’s what people from that part of the world are commonly referred to.

But at the end of the day, Fowler herself has more or less refuted this idea. Moreover, being that the word “kiwi” is never actually mentioned in the lyrics, for all we know Harry could be talking about the fruit or even bird instead, which is how some fans have gone about interpreting it. And in his own explanation of the song, he has stated that it “started out as a joke”. So even if it was originally based on an actual person, the implication is that by the time the lyrics were finished there was a lot of fiction added to “Kiwi” also.

Conclusion

So conclusively, this song is simply meant to be an interesting tale of the singer being smitten by the wrong woman. And even though she claims he impregnated her, she is not trying to use the accusation as a means to exploit him. Rather what she basically tells him is that she doesn’t want him in her life nor in the life of the child.
