Background
The Isle of Eroda, which is adore backwards, is a fictional island, created for the Harry Styles music video Adore You which premiered on the 6th of December 2019, for his pop rock album Fine Line which was further released in later 2019. Adore You, amongst five other singles, Lights Up, Falling, Watermelon Sugar, Golden and Treat People with Kindness. Similarly to the other singles, Adore You had an accompanying music video which was filmed in Southeastern coast of Scotland. Dave Meyers directed the songs music video. The video is under 8 minutes long with narration from Spanish singer Rosalia who described what it was like to live on the island. She tells us how superstitious the inhabitants are such as seeing a Minister in the morning meant you had to go home right away.

Activities
Whilst the island is "shaped unmistakably like a frown" there are still multiple things to try and enjoy on this island. The fictional island has it's own website where it advertises the activities, accommodation and attractions.

For the accommodation, you could end up staying at Martins Heaven Bed and Breakfast with golden rooms and complimentary breakfast or you can enjoy a luxurious stay at the Marmoton hotel, which is the oldest on the island with recent renovations to adhere to a more modern style.

There are attractions like, The Fishermans Pub located on Cherry Street and Golden Way where the only rule is not to mention pigs. As shown, Styles' uses nods from Fine Lines 12 track list by naming objects after them. You can also set sail on the Eroda Ferry which can take you to your next adventure but you must avoid leaving on odd numbered days. Of course, there's also an Eroda Offical Gift Shop where you can bring a gift home for the family.

Synopsis
The video follows Harry's character being born with the brightest smile in a place where the people "didn't know what to do with something different". We watch Harry growing up and never being truly accepted as Styles' grew up contrasting to those on the island who are described as having "resting fish face". He was shamed because he was unusual as he had the ability to blind people with his smile, we see how this takes a toll on his confidence as he keeps his screams bottled in jar. After being criticised for his whole life, he decides he's better off hiding. He's seen placing a helmet over his head to disguise himself. Rosalia, the narrator, tells us "he had lost his smile and without it the world grew darker", Harry reaches a beach where he places rocks in his pockets to weigh him down. At the perfect time, a gold-dappled fish jumps out the water, he too is lonely, and has never fit in with his kind either. It's made abundantly clear that without companionship they're left with "no hope, no home, no harbour". Harry places him back in the ocean but, the Fish jumps out again. They take this as a sign and "wondered what cruel twist of fate brought them together, and if fate was involved, what did she have in store". Harry then fetches the Fish and runs home to get it to safety. The song begins and we follow Harry as he takes care of the Fish who, day by day, grows larger. He transfers the Fish from a transparent kettle, to a clear backpack, to a a huge tank. Harry soon realises, after ignoring it, that the Fish is a rare species and needs to be put back in the sea. He pulls the massive tank to the port where we can see other fish getting butchered by townspeople, the Fish is fearful and breaks the glass its kept in. Harry lugs the fish to try push it back into the ocean where bystanders watch him struggle. The people come together to help Styles' where the curse of this unhappy town is broken as we see them start to attempt a smile. The narrator begins speaking again about how perculiar the whole isle is and that "maybe one day you'll find yourself in the isle or Eroda". It ends as we see harry embark on a boat to see what awaits him.

Reviews
Elle Magazine describes the music video as having a "Twilight zone twist" due to his abstract ability to be the only resident of the island capable of producing a smile.

The video is expressed as "fish out of water" tale as Brooke Marine states in her article of the music video in W Magazine.

Vogue Magazine depict their thoughts on the music videos fashion as "nautical wardrobe", Harry was styled by Harry Lambert as he dresses Harry in lots of Gucci and more modernised "classic sailor uniform".

Billboard utters that this long awaited and teased video in summary is a marine animal teaching Harry about "love, companionship and trust"

The co-writer Amy Allen is interviewed by Variety as she's crowned hit-maker of the month for her "first feel good song" for Adore You.
