The lyrics of Wizkid's "Picture Perfect," talks about a man who is amused by the beauty of his lover, and he doesn't care about what people say behind their backs. He tells his lover to ignore what people are saying about their relationship because he doesn't want her to think lowly of herself. He assures her that he wants to put a ring on her finger and be with her forever. He mentions that he can feel the vibe and the connection between them, and he doesn't want anyone to interfere with it.
The chorus emphasizes how mesmerized he is by his lover, and he compares her beauty to that of Kodak's pictures, known for their high-quality and breathtaking images. The second verse mentions how he wants his lover to dance and vibe with him to the music, enjoying themselves, and not letting anyone come between them. He further reiterates how he wants his lover to be with him, and they should ignore all the negativity around them.
The overall theme of the song is of love and intimacy, that he is so in awe of his partner and their connection that he is not the least bothered about what anyone says around them, and that he wants them to enjoy the moment and not let anyone ruin it.
