In an interview with [[Consequence (publication)|''Consequence of Sound'']], producer Kid Harpoon stated "We moved all the furniture out and put a drum kit in the TV room. “As It Was” was done in that setup.

Johnson described the process of writing the single as: “Harry was sitting on the [[Moog One]] and I liked what he was playing, so I sat down and played as he started to write the melodies and the lyrics. I said to Harry, ‘We need a lead line’ and he just came up right away with the ‘Dah, dah, dah...’ part. He didn't hesitate. Then he started writing the second verse and referring to himself in the third person. So much of this song just came from Harry's heart. And then Tom, with this magical sense of hooks that he has, came up with the idea of doing, ‘You know it's not the same…’ after the chorus, which I was very impressed with. That turned out to be a very smart move.”<ref name="musicweek.com"/> Styles came up with the idea and melody of the tubular bells included on the track, and plays them on the finished product.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Willman |first=Chris |date=1 December 2022
The child's voice which opens the track is Styles' godchild Ruby Winston, daughter of producer [[Ben Winston]]. Styles explained the addition in an interview with ''[[Capital Breakfast]]'': "She used to try and call me before bedtime every night, and one time it didn’t ring or something, so they sent me that. I dug it out when we were in the studio and put it in front of the song for some reason, and I kind of just fell in love with it, so it stuck."<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekpVd5ol1sg |title=Harry Styles Warns His Scenes In 'Don't Worry, Darling' Are NSFW {{!}} FULL INTERVIEW {{!}} Capital |language=en |access-date=
