'Thank Me Later' is a classic pop lament, encouraging listeners of the age-old idea that sometimes if you truly love someone, it's best to set them free.

'Last To Know' is sonically one of the most simple on the album, but it's not the only song about letting go (unsurprising, considering the album's title). The track is comparable to Sigrid's older release 'Dynamite', and mostly likely be enjoyed live in a similar manner – with the silence of an enrapt audience holding their breath. Tender and sincere, the piano ballad wishes an old flame well, hoping they're the last to learn of the singer's new relationship. 'Sucker Punch' was a considerable whirlwind that, coupled with a sudden lockdown, led to the romantic introspection of 'How to Let Go.' 'Last To Know' is perhaps the best example of the record's amorous contemplation. The sophomore album immediately feels like different territory from Sigrid's first release. The guitar-led track ends by reverberating into space – a bold opener that sets the tone for the remainder of the pop project. Self-reflective lyrics offer a personal yet universally approachable tone 'it gets dark so I can see the stars', affirms Sigrid. Whether singing of recovering from a relationship, bettering her relationship with herself, or detailing the euphoric feeling new love, Sigrid renounces her past self in favour of growth and is inspiring others to do the same.įrom the album's very beginning – the punchy 'It Gets Dark' – Sigrid acknowledges the highs and lows of life with a sunny disposition. 'How To Let Go' is a record of self-empowerment, reading as Sigrid's own personal journal detailing episodes of growth and lessons in love.
