Harry Styles was heard singing "I live for you, I long for you, Olivia," which may explain his decision to permanently tattoo the name on his body. During a boating outing in Bolsena, Italy, on July 28, Styles showcased what appears to be a new tattoo on his thigh. The cursive ink spells out "Olivia," as seen in photos on Page Six.
The tattoo above the "Olivia" tattoo appears to say "Colazione," which is the Italian word for breakfast. Harry Styles, who has numerous tattoos on his chest, arms, and legs, has not disclosed when or why he got this tattoo. However, observant fans quickly speculated that it could be a tribute to his ex-girlfriend Olivia Wilde. On Sunday, July 30, a Twitter user commented, "Olivia Wilde knowing Harry Styles got the name Olivia tattooed on his body because of her," accompanied by a GIF of Miley Cyrus' character from Hannah Montana peacefully sleeping.
Another person added, "Harry and Olivia's love was genuine, they truly believed they would be together forever. It was not a fake relationship, a publicity stunt, or a ploy, you ignorant fools."
Styles and Wilde, who is 39 years old, first became linked in early 2021 when they met on the set of Wilde's film "Don't Worry Darling." Although they rarely spoke about their relationship, Wilde, along with her two children from her previous engagement with Jason Sudeikis, often attended Styles' "Love on Tour" concerts. In November 2022, we finally confirmed that the couple had broken up.
While it remains uncertain whether the recent tattoo was influenced by Wilde, some enthusiasts have highlighted the fact that the director of "Booksmart" shares the identical name as the One Direction song "Olivia." This heartfelt melody was released as part of the band's last album, "Made in the A.M.," back in November 2015.

According to Styles, "Olivia" is one of his favorite songs on the album. He loves it because it is unique and reminds him of the classic music he enjoys. Styles mentioned in a YouTube video about the band's writing process that the song was written quickly, but this often leads to the best results as the words flow effortlessly onto the page.
He expressed, "The beauty of music is that it allows for categorizations and names, but it doesn't have to be taken literally. For example, Olivia could represent a location or a person I know. It's not always about me; it could also be an observation. When you listen to it, you might assume there's a girl named Olivia, which may or may not be true."
Although we may never discover the true meaning behind Styles' "Olivia" tattoo, our loyal hearts as fans of One Direction can only hope that it is a subtle tribute to the beloved British boy band.
