Yet another sad bop, "Satellite" on the surface comes across fairly upbeat, but the lyrics scream pain. "Spinnin' out, waitin' for ya to pull me in / I can see you're lonely down there / Don't you know that I am right here?" Styles sings, calling out for his person to notice him. This could be in reference to a past romantic partner, or perhaps someone he simply wanted in his life but couldn't make work. He sings over and over that he's right there, begging to connect. "Wishin' I could be there for ya," he sings repeatedly.
