my interpretation of perfect now by louis—a thread

i think perfect now is actually about harry not fizzy and here’s why;

let me just start off by saying that in no way am i saying that louis doesn’t care for his siblings or fizzy in particular, this is my interpretation of the song and why i feel the way i do

lyrically aspects of the song don’t make sense to be about a sibling relationship, the lyric “i’ll tell the truth lyin’ next to you” insinuates that louis is sharing a bed with whoever he’s singing about, i don’t do that with my sibling but idk about you

furthermore the lyric “and you don’t wanna dance, i know you love to dance” corresponds oddly well with harrys never gonna dance again tattoo, we know how much our larents love to hint towards the others tattoos so i wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what louis was going for here.

another sneaky tattoo hint is the line right after the dance one which goes “you never stop given half the chance” i’ll just leave louis’ tattoo here and you can make what you will of it.

just the theme of the song overall applies to harry, louis singing “cause everybody’s lookin’ at you now” could be about harrys rise in fame, another lyric “cause you’re the only one when it’s said and done” simply cannot be about a sibling relationship, it’s way too intimate.

louis has even compared perfect now to wmyb which we all know harry is very fond of as he sings it on tours, shows, etc. so i’m thinking that perfect now is a variation of wmyb that applies to harry in this time of his life, when he feels more vulnerable with his growing fanbase-

-and louis is essentially telling him that no matter what happens he’ll always be perfect to him, hence the lines “even at your worst, you steal the scene and it’s unrehearsed” and “some queens don’t need a crown” and “even when your tears are falling down, you’re perfect now”

so yeah thanks for coming to my ted talk lol, i’m open to hearing any of your interpretations as well :)
