Songfacts®:

  • "No Time (For My Life to Suck)" captures the idea of purging negative energy. As Nina Nesbitt has grown older, she's become less tolerant of toxic situations and drama, and ruthless about cutting people off if she feels they're not worth the trouble. The song serves as a kind of personal mantra for anyone looking to live their best life.
  • Nesbitt wrote the song with its producer, Elvira Anderfjärd, and with Rickard Göransson in Max Martin's studios in Stockholm, Sweden. "I just didn't have the time for negativity that day and I wanted to write a song that was uplifting," she told The Sun.
  • Swedish producer and songwriter Elvira Anderfjärd's resumé includes collaborations with Katy Perry ("What Makes A Woman"), Anne-Marie ("Beautiful") and Ed Sheeran ("Leave Your Life"). "I love what Elvira created with the production," Nesbitt commented to Consequence. "She has a great way of making a song sound pop but also quirky."
  • Nesbitt recorded "No Time (For My Life to Suck)" for her Alaskar album. Why Alaskar? "It means to love in Swedish," she explained to The Sun. "I'm half Swedish-half Scottish. I knew I wanted to write an album about all the different types of love, like romantic friendship, self-love, family etc. And then I found this word Alaskar that I've always heard growing up."
