It was originally written in 2022 with Stint and later reworked with School of X. The final version was completed with input from Ronni Vindahl and Micah Jasper.

Composition

"Lose Yourself" combines elements of electro-disco and scandi-pop. The production was influenced in part by the sound of Joy Division and reflects a balance between energetic rhythms and melodic textures.^[1] Lyrically, the song explores themes of self-preservation, self-joy, and emotional connection. According to MØ, it is "about letting go in a healthy way, without losing each other in the process," and serves as a reminder to be vulnerable, care for oneself, and maintain strong ties with loved ones and the broader community.^[2]
