Transcription
Background and composition
"Hardcore" was written by Tove Styrke, Elvira Anderfjärd, and Jakob Jerlström for Styrke's fourth studio album, Hard (2022).[1] Anderfjärd produced the song and played all the instruments.[2] Regarding the song, Styrke said, "'Hardcore' is definitely one of my favorite tracks on the album. It's about wanting someone hardcore. I took the term from gaming; if you die you die but it's all in. I also wanted to make the track sound drunk, like when you're lost in a person. That's why we made the tempo-shifts before each chorus. The production is so good on this one, it blows my mind."[3] The track includes "scream-sing" vocals, which stem from Styrke "saying 'fuck it'" and wanting to take risks.[4] In an interview for Rolling Stone, she stated, "The lyrics don't even make sense sometimes, but it suits the song because it's meant to feel like you're drunk. I needed to just like let it all out."[4] "Hardcore" was released on 11 March 2022 through Sony Music.[5]
