“Focus” is a rather different release in comparison to her previous singles on the EP, as it is an old recording from a previous session years ago and also a stripped-back piano ballad.
Talking about this song in the official newsletter on her website, Sigrid said the following:
“I wrote the song...
[Verse 1]
Don't look at me that way
You should know I can't take it
'Cause you're making my face blush, bringing back the uselessness in me
People are telling me that I need to go through with this
But I'm too scared to admit, too scared to open up for you
[Chorus]
I don't know-oh-oh what I want
I don't know-oh-oh what I need
Oh-oh, I'm tired of always looking back to you
Oh-oh, I need to move on, but you're making it hard
(But you're making it hard)
[Verse 2]
Don't let me crawl to you
'Cause I'm not that kind of girl
I will not degrade myself, even if it means that we are not a "we"
[Chorus]
I don't know-oh-oh what I want (Want)
I don't know-oh-oh what I need, what I need
[Verse 3]
So this is how it feels to be devastated
But you're feeling satisfied of knowing that someone wants you
When will this end? I can't focus
I don't have time for all of this
It's a waste of my time
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, I'm tired of always looking back to you
Oh-oh, I need to move on, but you're making it hard
Oh-oh, I'm tired of always looking back to you
Oh-oh, I need to move on, but you're making it hard
But you're making it hard
[Outro]
(Oh-oh, I'm tired of always looking back to you)
But you're making it hard
(Oh-oh, I need to move on)
But you're making it hard
(Oh-oh, I'm tired of always looking back to you)
But you're making it hard
(Oh-oh, I need to move on)
But you're making it hard
