The story behind the song

"Perfect" was released in 2015 as the second single from One Direction's fifth studio album, Made in the A.M. Members Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson co-wrote the song with regular collaborators, Julian Bunetta and John Ryan, among others. The writing process was described as "difficult" by Bunetta due to it taking place while the band was traveling during their 2015 On the Road Again Tour. The song debuted at number one in Ireland and reached the top 10 in several other countries.
