## About the song

> *"I was looking for an album title for a long time, and I thought that “Sucker Punch” summarized it best, because all of the songs are a bit of a sucker punch. The whole thing is pretty explosive -- even the ballads, which are really honest and in-your-face. I wrote this song with Emily Warren and Martin Sjølie in Ocean Sound Recordings, which is the studio in my hometown where I recorded my first songs. There were two big pianos, so Martin and I were each sitting at a piano playing over each other, which was really fun. At some point we disappeared into our separate rooms, which is how we often do it: Emily and I will go into one room and work on lyrics, and he’ll be in another doing production. After half an hour, he comes into our world -- "Maybe change that word" -- and we go into his world: "Add some glittery stuff in the verse." It was a very organic, collaborative process. Producers and writers work in different ways, but me, Emily and Martin have just found our way.*"

## Lyrics

[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

Sucker punch
