Background and composition
Speaking about the song, Sigrid stated "There's a certain grace to heartache. A sort of...epic grace! I like good, heartfelt pop songs." The song was written by Sigrid, Emily Warren, and Oscar Holter, the latter of whom also produced the track.
"Don't Feel Like Crying" is a pop break-up anthem composed of orchestral stabs and slick vocal effects. In his album review of 'Sucker Punch', Neil Garcia of 'Exclaim!' compared the song to the works of Carly Rae Jepsen. Lyrically, the single discusses moving through a breakup positively and postponing heartbreak. In the pre-chorus, the singer belts "Wallowing in it would be such a waste. That isn't gonna fix it anyway."
Critical reception
Nick Reilly of 'NME' called the single "one of [Sigrid's] most emotionally resilient tracks yet." Mike Wass of 'Idolator' wrote that few songs "tap into the emotional amnesia before the inevitable meltdown as honestly as 'Don't Feel Like Crying.'" 'DIY' magazine labelled the song "another feel-good offering from the singer."
