“Sucker Punch” describes an unexpected relationship and the emotions that come with it. Sigrid’s new love is taking over her life, she loves it, and it is the only thing she can think about.
The song is directed to a person, although it could also reflect Sigrid’s passion for music and performance...
[Verse 1]
Meet me in the hallway
For a cup of coffee by the stairs
We're both in a hurry
Let's steal a minute when there's no one there
Both our hoodies red, you're in my head
Yeah, there's no pressure
At least that's what we always said
I was keeping it together
I guess I didn't understand
That I fell for you, I lost my cool
[Chorus]
It hit me like a sucker punch
Just one look and I'm out of touch
I'm freaking out 'cause I'm scared this might end bad
But I still come back for that
Sucker punch
Just one look and I'm out of touch
I'm freaking out 'cause I'm scared this might end bad
But I still come back for that
Sucker punch
[Verse 2]
I try to come up with the bad things
Didn't wanna write a happy song
You've had only good reactions
So I don't wanna be the one
To fuck this up, I swear, out of nowhere
[Chorus]
It hit me like a sucker punch
Just one look and I'm out of touch
I'm freaking out 'cause I'm scared this might end bad
But I'll still come back for that
Sucker punch
Just one look and I'm out of touch
I'm freaking out 'cause I'm scared this might end bad
But I'll still come back for that
[Post-Chorus]
Sucker punch
Sucker punch
Sucker punch
But I still come back for that
Sucker punch
Sucker punch
Sucker punch
But I still come back for that
[Bridge]
Sucker punch
Just one look and I'm out of touch
I'm freaking out 'cause I'm scared this might end bad
But I still come back for that
[Chorus]
Sucker punch
Just one look and I'm out of touch
I'm freaking out 'cause I'm scared this might end bad
But I still come back for that
Sucker punch
Just one look and I'm out of touch
I'm freaking out 'cause I'm scared this might end bad
But I still come back for that
Sucker punch
[Post-Chorus]
Sucker punch
Sucker punch
Sucker punch
But I still come back for that
Sucker punch
Sucker punch
Sucker punch
But I still come back for that

I figured out early on that it’s gonna be difficult for me to try and be anything other than who I am. I always said if I’m gonna do this it’s easiest to be myself and look like myself, where I can recognise myself.
I chose this track to start the album as it was the intro for our show on tour and it felt really good. Sucker Punch is the album name and it summarizes it in a pretty cool way, because all of the songs are a sucker punch. Whether it’s a ballad or a big pop song—they’re very in your face.
