"I keep waking up in the middle of the night and remember, fresh again, that you are gone," Gossard beings. "An absence grows in my stomach and slowly turns circles like a far off galaxy on a grainy tv."

During a skit on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the show's host offers Fallon a gift--a jade bottle from their mutual friend Stevie Nicks. Fallon suggests that Styles blow into the bottle and make a wish. Needless to say, viewers might not expect how the skit ends.

In addition to acting on the show, Styles talked about the role he played in the upcoming movie, Dunkirk, which opens in theaters Friday (July 21). The singer explained that it's not a typical war movie, but more about 'community heroism" and what can happen when people work together.

"One Night Only" can be streamed here and singer Luke Spiller says the "song is mainly about the relationship between a performer and his/her audience."

"After touring throughout the United States, we've developed a strong relationship with our audience and started to feel more responsibility to them -- mainly to give a great show every night," he added.
