“Perfect Now” sees Louis telling a shy, unconfident lover that they are perfect the way they are, even on their worst days. The track features a dulcet guitar tone backed by a light melody.
The track was first discovered in October 2019 after it was registered on ASCAP, with a snippet of the track...
[Verse 1]
You say to me your jeans don't fit
You don't feel pretty and it's hard to miss
I wish that you could see my point of view
As someone starin' back at you
On Friday night when we're all out
I turn to you and you're looking down
And you don't wanna dance
I know you love to dance
You never stop given half the chance
[Pre-Chorus]
Just keep your head up, love, keep your head up
Don't hide away, don't ever change
Keep your head up, love, keep your head up
Don't look away, don't look away
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody's lookin' at you now, my, oh my
I guess some queens don't need a crown
And I know why
Even when your tears are fallin' down
Still, somehow, you're perfect now
[Verse 2]
You never do, but if you asked me to
I'll tell the truth lyin' next to you
'Cause you're the only one when it's said and done
You make me feel like being someone good to you
Even at your worst, you steal the scene and it's unrehearsed
Don't you wanna dance? Just a little dance
I'll never stop given half the chance
[Pre-Chorus]
Just keep your head up, love, keep your head up
Don't hide away, don't ever change
Keep your head up, love, keep your head up
Don't look away, don't look away
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody's lookin' at you now, my, oh my
I guess some queens don't need a crown
And I know why
Even when your tears are fallin' down
Still, somehow, you're perfect now
[Bridge]
Every insecurity, like a neon sign, as bright as day
If you knew what you were to me
You would never try to hide away
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody's lookin' at you now, my, oh my
I guess some queens don't need a crown
And I know why
Even when your tears are fallin' down
Still, somehow, you're perfect now
Perfect Now was written by Johan Carlsson & Wayne Hector & Jamie Scott & Louis Tomlinson.
Perfect Now was produced by Johan Carlsson & Jamie Scott.
Louis Tomlinson released Perfect Now on Fri Jan 31 2020.
I worked on this with Jamie Scott, who was part of the One Direction writing team. Lyrically, it’s kind of an extension of “What Makes You Beautiful,” One Direction’s first single. It was written quite deliberately as an attempt to write a fan favorite song. There is a long history of people coming...
