“Fine Line” appears to be a song covering the positive and negative aspects of a mystery woman in Harry Styles’ life. During the first verse, Styles sings, “You’ve got my devotion / But man, I can hate you sometimes,” which implies that their relationship sometimes drifts into unhealthy territory (via Genius). The lyrics also suggest that Styles may not be completely invested in the relationship, as he then sings about thinking of someone else once drinks get to flowing. Verse two lays out more conflicting traits about his current lover, before he transitions into a repetitive chorus saying “We’ll be a fine line.” Although the lyrics are pretty straightforward, Rolling Stone described the track’s sound as “eccentric.” Styles agreed. “It’s a weird one,” revealed the singer. “It started simple, but I wanted to have this big epic outro thing,” he added, before noting his love of string and horn instruments.

As far as the song’s possible inspiration, you can much forget about it being about Styles’ ex-girlfriend Camille Rowe. Although StyleCaster cited Styles’ interview with Zane Lowe, where Styles admitted that “Cherry” was inspired by the famous model and even featured her voice, the pub didn’t notice any obvious connections to her in the song, “Fine Line.”
