my interpretation of Anna; a thread https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ’«" title="Symbol fĂŒr Benommenheit" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol fĂŒr Benommenheit">

(this is my personal analysis of the lyrics, your interpretation could be different)
Don& #39;t know where you& #39;re laying, just know it& #39;s not with me
Don& #39;t know what I& #39;d tell you if I passed you on the street

he’s talking about times when they’re in separate places and it’s hard to keep in touch. second line means not being able to communicate in public
I don& #39;t want your sympathy
But you don& #39;t know what you do to me
Oh, Anna
Every time I see your face
There& #39;s only so much I can take
Oh, Anna

there a lot to unpack here so continued ahead
firstly, let’s talk about how anna doesn’t rhyme with the rest of the chorus at all. i know lyrics don’t always have to match but it’s also sus how louis fits in perfectly. just try and replace it once
secondly if you look at his concerts he rarely says anna in the beginning of the song. i’m not saying it has to mean anything but just putting it out there
Don& #39;t know how you taste when there& #39;s smoke in your perfume
So chew me up and spit me out, nothing left to lose

guess who’s known to regularly smoke and who h is so fond of.
also chew me up and spit me out is very similar to jalboyh and https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸšȘ" title="TĂŒr" aria-label="Emoji: TĂŒr"> you where hes just needs a little
Hope you never hear this and know that it& #39;s for you
I don& #39;t know what I& #39;d tell you if you asked me for the truth

it would be very obvious if he used a real name in the song and this clearly shows he wants to be subtle. if it was actually about a girl named anna it would be known
this convinces me that there isn’t any ‘Anna’. reminder that h and l used to have girl code names when they talked about each other in interviews
also if he wanted it to be a stunt song (carolina hello) he would’ve released it like the fandom has been begging him to, this was clearly more personal
the ‘if i could touch your body’ is inspired by the hit song, ‘Faith’ by outed George Michael which was to appeal to a more adult audience and get taken seriously.
another coincidence is the song having references to the song ‘Freedom’ by his previous group Wham!
just another thing that the chorus reminded me of was harry signing to an oblivious l in twitcams and then getting all shy like he didn’t want l to know about how much he was staring. and i think we all know about his creepy love stare while l is usually slightly less obvious
