"Medicine" is an unreleased song by English singer-songwriter Harry Styles.[4] It was first performed during Harry Styles: Live on Tour in Basel, Switzerland on 11 March 2018.[5] Written with collaborators Tyler Johnson, Mitch Rowland, and Alex Saliban,[4] Styles originally intended to include the song on his self-titled debut album,[6] but discarded it because he felt it sounded too similar to other songs on the album.[7] Styles said that the song did not appear on Fine Line or Harry's House because even though he finds it "very fun to play live", he feels that "sonically it's just not really where [he's] at anymore".[7] Despite this, he has stated he is still open to possibly releasing it at a later date.[8]
Themes and lyrics
When noted in an interview with radio personality Howard Stern that fans seem to feel the song is "an anthem for fans who are thinking about coming out", Styles said, "It's definitely about feeling like there's a space where people feel safe enough to kind of share, have those big moments and share them with a room full of people."[8]
