Composition
"Lose Yourself" combines elements of electro-disco and scandi-pop. The production was influenced in part by the sound of Joy Division and reflects a balance between energetic rhythms and melodic textures. Lyrically, the song explores themes of self-preservation, self-joy, and emotional connection. According to MØ, it is "about letting go in a healthy way, without losing each other in the process," and serves as a reminder to be vulnerable, care for oneself, and maintain strong ties with loved ones and the broader community.{{cite web |date=2025-04-30 |title=MØ drops new electro-pop banger 'Lose Yourself' ahead of fourth record 'Plæygirl' |url=https://diymag.com/news/mo-lose-yourself-fourth-record-plaeygirl |access-date=2025-05-01 |website=DIY |language=en}}
