He’s set to make a splash on Friday with the release of a hotly anticipated new single “Sign of the Times,” but in advance of that, the internet [has gotten ahold](http://www.eonline.com/news/841262/harry-styles-films-sign-of-the-times-music-video-in-scotland) of what appears to be footage from a music video shoot off the coast of Scotland. And while there’s no doubt that the former [One Direction](http://time.com/4583672/one-direction-reuniting-niall-horan/) heartthrob’s solo career will be a success thanks to the avid adoration of his fan base, Styles himself was found up in the air. That’s right: the [_Dunkirk_ actor](http://time.com/4602148/harry-styles-oscar-memes/) and [part-time fashion plate](http://time.com/4507965/harry-style-magazine-cover-photos/) was spotted harnessed up and suspended from a helicopter, zooming along above the ocean. Naturally, the internet had quite a few (hilarious) reactions to the sneaky snaps captured from his rather daredevil shoot, in which the singer is dressed to the nines while swinging casually above the sea.
