Background and composition Described in a press release as a "self-aware portrait of the fractured selves we construct to survive", "Black Prada Dress" was written by Goulding and produced by Jack Rochon, whom she discovered on TikTok. Goulding said the song "sets the tone" for her sixth studio album, I Know Too Much, which was inspired by the idea that "maybe we can know too much".
"Black Prada Dress" is a synth-pop and electronic-leaning pop song characterised by airy vocals and a dance-oriented production.
