Who Is Harry Styles's "Sweet Creature" About?

The telling lyrics: "Sweet creature, sweet creature / Wherever I go, you bring me home," and, "We're running through the garden / Oh, where nothing bothered us / But we're still young / I always think about you and how we don't speak enough."

Who it is supposed to be about: His sister, Gemma Styles, or his childhood girlfriend Abigail Crawshaw

Why? "Sweet Creature" is a bit tricky because it's not explicitly romantic but definitely shows love. There are convincing theories that the song is about both Gemma and Crawshaw. This Tumblr theory by OhStylesNo breaks down various lyrics that could be about his sister and their love for each other. However, Styles singing about someone leading him home in the chorus could allude to someone from years gone by who makes him feel like nothing has changed and he's still the boy from Cheshire that he was before he became famous. This could be Crawshaw, or it could just be a general feeling that people are tying to her. He told The Zach Sang and the Gang Show in May 2017 that "'Sweet Creature' is definitely about one person, but I think it's important to remember that there's many different types of things that could be about."
