Meanwhile, a song written by Styles is part of Ariana Grande's album, "My Everything." The song is called "A Little Bit of Your Heart." The singer was reportedly quite excited about the fact that Styles wrote a song for her album. She said that she was touched by the lyrics of the song and it is a way to show his fans that he is more than just a vocalist.
