His fans? Eleanor? Oli? His band and Andrew? Harry? 1D? The narrative has truly been all over the place with this one.
I miss Kati, she was superior in the business of timelines and analyses but I need someone to keep track of this so donât mind me giving it a go.
February 19th, 2018: Louis posts a snippet of WMI on his Instagram
October 24th, 2019: We Made It is released
October 28th, 2019: Louis says on Kidd Nation that he âactually wrote WMI two years agoâ and he said the same during a KMM Q&A on youtube
Going by the above quote and youtube comment, Louis wrote WMI in the fall of 2017. He publicly dated Danielle until January 2017 and publicly reunited with Eleanor also in January 2017. Meaning, the timeline technically fits with him writing WMI about Eleanor.Â
That being said, he has said some interesting things about WMI during interviews, some thought-provoking things some might say, and I think these quotes speak to the overreaching message, which again says a lot about who it could be about:
October 25th, 2019: Fan: âAre there any lyrics on your new album that hold any great significance to you?â Louis: âI like, about We Made It, I like that part that says âI donât know why they put all of this on us when weâre so young, weâve done a pretty good jobâ. I think itâs pretty thought-provoking, and I think fans hearing that is kinda nice tooâ Iâm- Iâm sorry but in what straight world would that line be considered thought-provoking? And to which group of fans would it be kinda nice to hear that Louis and his partner made it, would it be Elounor stans who get constant reinforcement that Elk is still around, or would it be larries who go off of more subtle context clues and are constantly viewed as crazy?
October 30th, 2019: Louis: "Itâs a quite thought-provoking lyric in general. They did put a lot of stress on us but as I said, we did a pretty good job, we did alright.â Whooooooomst would experience a tremendous amount of stress and pressure pertaining to their relationship because it had to be kept under wraps while a whole world and label execs were watching? Whomst were you singing something poppy on the same four chords with?Â
November 10th, 2019: Louis: âThereâs a lyric in one of the verses and it talks about the, youâre talking about your dreams and you aspirations, and youâre sharing a single bed together, and I think a lot of people can relate to that, you know, that started off, you know, your dreams at 17/18 talking about them and then at some point in your life you reflect with that person an say âyeah, we did alrightâââŠâŠâŠ With whom did you share the exact same dream when you were 18 trying out for a singing competition, Louis? And Louis was indeed 18 when he met Harry and 19 almost 20 when we got that first painfully staged pap shoot in a park of him and Eleanor introducing her to the fandom.
Imo there is one (1) line in WMI thatâs a clear reference to Eleanor (meet you at your uni), the rest is very him and Harry. Thereâs nothing thought-provoking or shocking about a public white heterosexual upper-class couple making it, this is a song that at its very essence is about making it against all odds.Â
