“Always You” talks about the feeling that someone was meant to be with you, where everything seems to remind you of them. He confirmed it to be on his debut album on his #SpotifyFansFirst interview with Roman Kemp. Louis has mentioned in the same interview that it is personal to him, and his favorite song off of his album.

On August 24, 2017, Louis released a snippet on his Instagram containing lyrics that were later revealed to be part of the track. In a Q&A session with Crash Records, Louis explained that “Always You” made it on the album because of the fans:

The reason “Always You” stayed is that I teased 15 seconds of it on one of my socials years back and, ever since, the fans have been desperate to hear it. I owed them that one.

In an interview with The Sun, Louis described the track as a song about “traveling the world and just being a fucking idiot and going, ‘Of course it was always you’.”
