She felt like being in the vignette that she was chasing. To her, the song finally felt right after working on it for almost a year. He took the "serious" minor chords and turned them into "buoyant, urgent, insistent" party chords. On November 7, Lorde's birthday, she met with Malay in New York City at a session where he underlaid the groove she worked on with Antonoff into the whole song. She compared the preceding vocals to Prince and Michael Jackson. The groove of the song, came after playing a show at Coachella, which was formed using a bongo drum and Lorde singing the words "Night, midnight, lose my mind" which were subsequently sampled into the track. The first verse of the song had "uneven level of bars". Antonoff was open to letting Lorde take guard of the production. She had specific ideas about "Sober" and knew how she wanted it to take shape early in the recording process. In a demo, the overall production was initially more "moody" and "emotional". She found a production room, which she called "The Rat Nest", a small and tiny room that created the song. Her fear of recording on Westlake Recording Studios, which to her was "too fancy", resulted in her having writer's block. She worked on the song with Jack Antonoff. Lorde stated that the DNA of the song is wanting to tell someone how you feel about them and knowing the other person feels the same way and need the evening's theater have all the characters going to let your guard down. To the singer, parties have an "angst" to them, sharing a distinct memory of her having an intense conversation with someone and seeing people in her back porch dancing. She stated that she would often go drinking in her native country of New Zealand and had a strong desire to fill in the quiet episodes in her life to cope with her heartache. In a podcast interview with Hrishikesh Hirway's Song Exploder, Lorde described her first summer after her breakup with longtime boyfriend James Lowe as " wild and fluorescent", which she also mentioned was the "cusp" of transitioning into adulthood.
She also revealed she would release it as a promotional single in honor of the Melodrama World Tour being announced. Ĩ days before the release of Melodrama, Lorde released "Sober" on Spotify in New Zealand. She revealed this song convinced her she was on to something good and decided she wanted to make the whole album a concept album about a "one house party." This is apparently Lorde's favorite track from the album.
