“Sunflower, Vol. 6” by Harry Styles

The titular “sunflower” is not only the subject but also the addressee of this track. Yet it is not clear if it represents a person, idea or perhaps literally a flower. But until further information is released concerning the meaning of this song by the writers themselves, we will proceed forward under the presumption that “sunflower” is indeed a person, as for the most part Harry Styles relates to it as such. 

And if this is actually the case, then what he is saying, succinctly put, is that he loves this individual. Moreover following along that same line of logic, this person would most likely be his significant other and in fact one he adores very much. But conclusively, it also needs to be reestablished that this song is highly symbolic and metaphorical – perhaps more so than any other on Styles’ “Fine Line” album.

And such ambiguity, if you will, means that the lyrics are subject to open interpretation. So at the end of the day whereas we are postulating that the “sunflower” is a romantic interest, it is possible that Harry is talking about something else entirely or perhaps even harping on more than one subject. It is therefore possible that the sunflower concurrently represents a person, object and/or idea.
