Twitter thinks this is Harry Styles' coming out song

It's a sign of the times...

A previously unreleased song has whipped fans into a frenzy over Harry Styles' sexuality, with the singer (possibly) alluding to having shared sexual experiences with both men and women.
The song, titled "Medicine", was performed in Paris overnight and includes the lyrics: "The boys and the girls are here, I mess around with them, and I'm okay with it."
While the recording is a little muffled at points, fans are convinced another line includes the phrase "I'll treat you like a gentleman."
Openly gay Australian pop singer Troye Sivan was one of many who took to Twitter to express excitement over the song.
Styles has previously been commended for his support of the LGBTIQ+ community, taking to the stage with a rainbow flag and voicing his support for same-sex marriage while visiting Australia last year.

However, not everybody is celebrating the sexually obscure lyrics of his latest track, with some accusing the "Sign of the Times" singer of queer-baiting.
Styles is believed to have written the song two years ago and last year said in an interview that he "never felt the need" to label his sexuality.
