Harry Styles just released his official video for the song «Daylight,» and in less than a day, the video has already more than 2.5 million views and it’s at the top ten YouTube tendencies. As said on the credits, the video was directed by Tanu Muino and was «made with love by a creative team from Ukraine.»
But don’t worry if you think you’re losing your mind because you remember another music video for «Daylight.» You’re not mistaken. In 2022, an unofficial music video for the song was released, directed by The Late Late Show presenter James Corden with a $300 budget.

In the Tanu Muinodirected version, Harry walks through a circus, meeting all its characters, such as acrobats and clowns, while he weights lift, rides a horse and even tries his tightrope-walking skills. He also flies through the sky, making us have another déjà vu with his music video «Sign of the Times,»but this time dressed as a circus-themed yellow bird after being being shot out of a giant cannon. Which should’ve been blue like the song lyrics ‘If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you’.
Lyrics
I’m on the roof, you’re in your airplane seat I was nose-bleeding, looking for life out there Reading your horoscope, you were just doing cocaine In my kitchen, you never listen, I hope you’re missing me by now
If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you You’d be the spoon Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you
Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight (ooh) Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight (ooh) Daylight, you got me calling at all times (ooh) Ain’t gonna sleep ‘til the daylight (ooh)
Out of New York, I’m on the comedown speed We’re on bicycles, saying, «There’s life out there» You got the antidote, I’ll take one to go, go, please Get the picture, cut out my middle You ain’t got time for me right now
If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you You’d be the spoon Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you
Daylight, you got me calling at all times (ooh) Ain’t gonna sleep ‘til the daylight (ooh) Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight (ooh) Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight (ooh) Daylight, you got me calling at all times (ooh) Ain’t gonna sleep ‘til the daylight (ooh)
If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you You’d be the spoon Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you

My biggest inspiration is music, so maybe in the future, I can make a musical with all these artists, like ‘Moulin Rouge’ or something. Baz Luhrmann is one of my favorite directors ever, and so I’m very inspired by his works and what he is doing. I hope I can make it my future» –from IMDb.

On May 26, 2022, during an episode of the Late Late Show, James Corden proposed the idea of shooting a low-budget($300) music video in 3 hours for Harry’s Daylight, on the streets of Brooklyn. Despite facing initial rejections while scouting for a location, the determined first-time director Corden and his team persisted.
Finally, on their third attempt, they stumbled upon the perfect spot: a flat occupied by a group of astounded young women. Their disbelief was evident as one of them exclaimed, ‘This isn’t real!’ while covering her face in amazement when discovering that the artist was Harry.
The video turned out to be quite cool, and it has more than 10 million views.
