Lorde herself commented on the track on a Spinoff Exclusive Podcast saying: The song is assumed to be about the happiness during the beginning of her relationship with James Lowe. The song had co-production from Flume, along with Jack Antonoff and Lorde herself. There is an extended version where she repeatedly sings "whoa, oh-oh" during the outro. This could be a combination of " Perfect Places", " Writer in the Dark" and this song. In January 2015, Lorde posted a cryptic tweet that read "Perfect is in the Louvre". On May 18th, Lorde released the track list for Melodrama and "The Louvre" was the sixth song on the list.
