The trailer for Harry Styles' solo debut has everyone freaking out

April 7, come quickly please.

There's teasing new music with a cryptic Instagram post, and then there's really teasing new music with a full-blown television commercial.

Harry Styles—yes, the one from One Direction—is going the trailer route to promote what will be his debut single as a solo artist and the mass hysteria has officially begun.

During Saturday night's episode of The X Factor in the UK, a mysterious ad ran featuring the singer completely drenched and walking through the mist to open a door that leads to blinding light—all before flashing to his eyes and an "April 7th" date appears.

Styles has recently taken a plunge into the acting world, but when it comes to new music from him, everyone is sort of freaking out about it—as to be expected.

April 7, come quickly please.
