Louisa was in Sweden for one week when “Money” was written and recorded with Jonas Quant. When meeting with Quant for a session, Louisa took in some of the ideas she had written in her diary while on tour with Pharrell back in 2014.
Louisa talks about the inspiration for the song:

[Verse 1]
I can't compete with her eyes
I don't come close to the power she holds over you
And when she lights up
Gives you something to touch
I know that it's over
[Chorus]
Money, money, money can't love you
Money can't hold you
Money can't love you back
Money, money, money can't love you
Money can't hold you
Money can't love you
(Money can't love you) Back, back
(Money can't love you) Back, back
(Money can't love you) Back, back
(Money can't love you)
[Verse 2]
You got your gold
But when it all falls down, it's just you and your crown
She's got you good
Got you spending your time dancing 'round dollar signs
[Chorus]
Money, money, money can't love you
Money can't hold you
Money can't love you back
Money, money, money can't love you
Money can't hold you
Money can't love you
(Money can't love you) Back, back
(Money can't love you) Back, back
(Money can't love you) Back, back
(Money can't love you)
Money can't love you back
[Bridge]
When your gold is gone
I hope you find your way back home, you know this
When your gold is gone
I hope you find your way back home, you know this
When your gold is gone, find your way back home
When your gold is gone, find your way back home
[Chorus]
Money, money, money can't love you
Money can't hold you
Money can't love you back
Money, money, money can't love you
Money can't hold you
Money can't love you
Money can't love you back
[Outro]
When your gold is gone, find your way back home
When your gold is gone, find your way back home
When your gold is gone, find your way back home
When your gold is gone, find your way back home
