Harry Styles called "Carla's Song" the most important part of his album — but Carla's name doesn't even appear in the lyrics. The song was built around watching a friend discover a classic for the first time at a pre-party, and that moment answered every question the album had been asking. In this episode: who Carla actually is and why Harry is protecting her identity, why the title comes from Kathy's Song and not Bridge Over Troubled Water, what "you've been a baby sleeping on a candy bar" really means word for word, and why this quiet closer earns its place as the album's emotional answer.

Behind The Lines — we go deeper than the chorus.
