Delving into the background of Perfect following Liam Payne’s passing
The song “Perfect”was created in July 2015 and premiered on October 16 of the same year during the BBC Radio1 Breakfast show. This single was part of their album *Made in the A.M.* and the EP titled *Perfect*.
Clocking in at 3 minutes and 50 seconds, the track was produced by Shatkin, Bunetta, and AFTERHRS. The original description of the song noted it as an:
“emotionally charged ironic love song featuring passionate drumming, rousing guitars, shimmering synths, and a massive chorus.”
After its release, Louis Tomlinson told *Good Morning Britain* that the song carried a message for young men, conveying that,
“you’re not the typical knight in shining armor, Romeo kinda guy… it’s about genuinely enjoying the moment.”
Meanwhile, the band’s long-time writer and producer, Julian Bunetta, expressed to a fan on X that “Perfect” was a favorite track of his for driving. He also mentioned that it took considerable time to craft the lyrics, as they were developed across multiple continents during 1D’s *On The Road Again Tour*.
When the song was launched, there were murmurs among fans and media suggesting it was Harry Styles’ rebuttal to his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift’s song “Style,” reflecting on their breakup. However, Harry dismissed these rumors. The two briefly dated in 2012.
