This song has an “old-school” feel, sounding similar to an old British song with the strings in the audio recorded in Abbey Road. According to band member, Harry Styles, “Olivia” isn’t about a certain person named Olivia, it “could be about a person or place”. Because that’s how nouns work. Note that “Olivia” is the second One Direction song with a girl’s name on its title, following Midnight Memories‘ “Diana”. Also, although it isn’t on the title, “Best Song Ever” also mentioned a girl’s us a question about this songWhat have the artists said about the song?In the Made in the track-by-track, Harry explained The funniest thing about ‘Olivia’ is that it’s one of my favorite songs on the album because it’s so different and it feels like so much old stuff that I love; In general, just the sound of the instruments and how it was done. We recorded the strings at Abbey Road and it feels like a cool song in just the way we did it. It probably took the least time to is the meaning behind the song?This is what 1D’s collaborator Julian Bunetta recalls about the song according to the Rolling Stone article on Made In The This one is very near and dear to my heart. Harry, John [Ryan, co-writer] and I were in Westlake and trying to write one thing and came out with this. I don’t know how it came out. We couldn’t write anything for a couple days, and we couldn’t focus. We were trying to write things, and they were bad. Then we would just laugh and order food and hang out. Then all of a sudden, at the very end of the day when Harry was going to leave, he was sort of saying the chorus phrase, so we just sat there and wrote it really quick. It came out really, really quick. That one was so fun because it has a full orchestra we recorded at Abbey Road: four trumpets, four trombones, three french horns, flute, clarinet, harp. That was an incredibly adult, musically indulgent song that we all had a lot of fun making. It makes me so happy. But ‘Olivia’ was Harry’s genius."CreditsViolinSteve Morris (Violin), John Bradbury, Jim McLeod, Magnus Johnston, Mark Berrow, Patrick Kiernan, Simon Baggs, Warren Zielinski, Cathy Thompson, Boguslaw Kostecki, Christina Emanuel, Daniel Bhattacharya, Dai Emmanuel, Gaby Lester, Jackie Hartley & Perry Montague-MasonAssistant String ContractorRelease DateNovember 13, 2015View Olivia samplesTags
