Background



Tove Styrke wrote "Mistakes" with Elof Loelv, who produced the track, for her third studio album 'Sway' (2018). The two reportedly spent months "perfecting" the song. The chorus was altered several times before they settled on the "stomping vocoder breakdown". In an interview for 'Entertainment Weekly', Styrke said, "I really think it pays off to spend a lot of time on production and also songwriting. It makes it richer in a sense." The song was digitally released on 15 September 2017 through Sony Music as the second single of the album. The single's artwork depicts an illustrated lamb. A remix produced by Swedish trio VAX was released on 3 November 2017 with a new cover art depicting a rose.

Composition



"Mistakes" is an electropop song. The production includes sound effects from various sources, including a flickering street-light lamp, a cellphone, and a zipper. Styrke said, "I want a song to be like one of those pictures that you can look at and find new things in every time."

Reception



Hannah Mylrea of 'NME' referred to it as "the glorious musical equivalent of getting butterflies in your stomach", and called it "pure pop perfection". The song debuted and peaked at number 42 on the Swedish singles chart on 22 September 2017. It spent a total of six weeks on the chart. The song received a gold certification by the Swedish Recording Industry Association (GLF).
