Look Who’s Laughing Now” celebrates being authentic and enjoying life, regardless of others’ perceptions.

It’s all about embracing our imperfections, living life to the fullest, and showing the world that authenticity wins.

Sonically, the single explores new terrains, drawing inspiration from melodies that were a part of Ingrosso‘s childhood, blending older musicals and classic Swedish pop and soul from the 70’s. At the same time, it delves into contemporary musical styles, particularly from the late 90s.
