Sigrid is trying to not take herself "too seriously"
The 28-year-old star is "having fun again" on her new single Jellyfish, confessing that she "really wanted to be taken seriously" earlier in her career
11 July 2025
She told The Independent: "I'm so thankful for all of it, obviously, but it's kind of going through a washing machine. And I think on the second album [How To Let Go] , I really wanted to be taken seriously and I put a lot of heavy pressure on myself to write serious songs."
Sigrid admits that she adopted a much more relaxed attitude while making Jellyfish.
She said: "I think you can hear it in the song. I'm not trying to sing perfectly."
The music star - who released her debut album, Sucker Punch, back in 2019 - is actually happy to laugh at herself at this stage of her career.
She explained: "I take the p*** out of myself a bit with the new music as well. I'm trying to not take myself too seriously and allow myself to not always be the hero in a situation."
Sigrid actually considers herself to be "a bit of a word-of-mouth artist".
But the singer guarantees that fans will have a "good time" whenever she performs live.
She said: "I'm a bit of a word of mouth artist but when you go to a show of mine, you know you're going to have a good time."
Meanwhile, Sigrid previously admitted to suffering a crisis of confidence during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The music star's meteoric rise was suddenly halted by the global health crisis, and Sigrid admits that she struggled to cope at the time.
She told the Guardian newspaper: "With the success, I had that feeling that maybe I was cool. Then ... boom! Isolation. Back home with my parents, in my childhood bedroom, remembering cringe moments of being 14.
"I got a bit scared of how quickly I adapted to this completely alternative life, where I was waking up in the morning, having breakfast with my parents, going for a hike and skiing.
"Like, the whole day was about getting to the peak of a mountain, skiing down and then coming home to talk about how the snow was while having dinner. There were no emails. There was no stress. I had this serene, alternative life, but there was this really scary thing going on at the same time."
