Background

In an interview with NMEs Thomas Smith, Sigrid said:

Critical reception

Thomas Smith of NME stated "Katy Perry may indeed be the big pop comeback of the day—but nestled in just below her on several New Music Friday playlists across the land is an equally massive hit—and maybe even a better pop banger—from newcomer Sigrid. 'Don't Kill My Vibe' is the first single from new Island signee and it is, put simply, a belter. The 20-year-old Norwegian's entrance is a clapback at all the naysayers and under-estimators with soft, building piano and scattered beats eventually submitting to her majestic chorus."[1] Pigeons and Planess Jacob Moore called it "an anthemic piece of pop that showcases the young singer's songwriting skills."[2]

In other media

The song was featured in the film The American Meme[3] and the television shows Music City, Life Sentence,[4] Locke and Key, Love Island,[5] The Bold Type,[6] and Tiny Pretty Things.[7] A Simlish version of the song appeared in the video game .[8] A version of the song was performed by the main character Violet Valenski (portrayed by Elle Fanning) in the 2018 film Teen Spirit.
