In “Tough Luck”, Laufey sings about being in a poor relationship with her ex-boyfriend and how she’s now happy to have left it, criticizing the man for his poor relationship management and his romantic disloyalty. For the press release of the song, Laufey said this about the song:
I wanted to revea...
[Verse 1]
Are you tired? I can tell that you're tired
Your eyes turn gray, you beg me to be silent
You said I can’t read your mind
But I'm reading it just fine
You think you're so misunderstood
The black cat of your neighborhood
[Chorus]
Tough luck, my boy, your time is up
I’ll break it first, I've had enough
Of waiting 'til you lie and cheat
Just like you did to the actress before me
Oops, she doesn't even know
You won't be missed, I'm glad to see you go
[Post-Chorus]
Tough luck, tough luck
[Verse 2]
Since we're spilling secrets
Does your mothеr even know? (Mother еven know)
You demoralized, effaced me
Just to feed your frail ego (Oh)
When you're screaming at the TV
Cussing out opposing football teams
You said I’d never understand
The things that make a man a man
[Chorus]
Tough luck, my boy, your time is up
I’ll break it first, I've had enough
Of waiting ’til you lie and cheat
Just like you did to the actress before me
Oops, she doesn't even know
You won't be missed, I'm glad to see you
[Bridge]
I should congratulate thee
For so nearly convincing me
I’m not quite as smart as I seem
That I'm a loud-mouthed nobody
My accent and music are dumb
Your tattoos are no better, hun
The proof says you're tragic as fuck
The truth is that's just tough, tough luck (Tough luck)
Tough, tough luck (Tough luck)
Tough, tough luck (Tough, tough luck)
(Tough, tough luck)
[Chorus]
Tough luck, my boy, your time is up
I'll break it first, I've had enough
Of waiting 'til you lie and cheat
Just like you did to the actress before me
Oops, she doesn't even know
You won't be missed, I'm glad to see you go

‘Tough Luck’ is a fiery song about love gone wrong. I wanted to reveal an angrier side of myself—a side that this unfortunate relationship brought out in me.
