She called me eighteen months later and said she really liked the ideas we’d come up with that day, and we ended up writing “Light On” that day. “Horses” was interesting because when Maggie and I did “Light On,” she was still getting used to work with people, so we’d worked years ago in a session and we really got on, but she found getting used to the experience of the studio kind of odd. What’s going on in his life is intertwined in that song, and in that line, “Harry, you’re no good alone.” Lyrically, what I love about Harry on this whole album, is that he has a lot to say but he can tease meaning. It’s a funny one because it happened so quickly that I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to recreate that magic again - it was just so good. Harry came in with a riff idea, and we ran with it.
THE FLYING HARPOON TV
We moved all the furniture out and put a drum kit in the TV room. We recorded the song at Rob Stringer’s house in England.
It’s become such a big song this year, and it’s definitely not what any of us thought it was going to be, which almost makes it more special.

What’s funny about that song is it was just one of a few songs written that day. His longstanding friendships with Florence Welch and Jessie Ware have yielded some incredible work, and, in 2019, he co-wrote or co-produced all but one of the tracks on Harry Styles’ Grammy-winning Fine Line. Reflecting on his career in conversation with Consequence over Zoom, Kid Harpoon speaks of moments in his career by sharing stories around the relationships he’s fostered over the years. As a songwriter and producer, Kid Harpoon (born Thomas Hull) has worked with some of the very biggest names in the music industry from Calvin Harris and Shakira to Years & Years and Shawn Mendes, and countless others, he’s built the kind of career many pop producers can only dream of. If the name Kid Harpoon doesn’t immediately ring any bells, the odds are strong that you’ve still heard a song with his name somewhere in the credits. Here, we sit down with Kid Harpoon to discuss working with Harry Styles, Jessie Ware, and more.
