The shining moment of the set however was his punked-up version of Wet Leg’s “Wet Dream.” The indie duo released the track earlier this year as part of their eponymous debut album.

In the cover, Styles trades the upbeat synths of Harry’s House for hard-lined guitar, having a fully-fledged rock star moment. Watch the performance below.

The pop star appeared in the BBC studio ahead of his intimate “One Night Only” show tonight (May 24) at London’s Brixton Academy. The exclusive show follows a vibrant performance at New York’s Belmont Park on Long Island.

Meanwhile, Harry’s House is well on its way to becoming the top album on the U.S. charts. It’s already the fastest-selling album of 2022 so far.
