Background and composition Edit

"I do pop. Pop is everything from The Weeknd, to Taylor Swift, to Beyoncé, to Rihanna, and [my album So Good is] a good mix of everything. There are some very soulful songs on there but also electronic dance songs, and also pure pop, darker songs with a trap vibe."

— Larsson explaining the genre of the album.[8]

The album features songs primarily in a pop style, as well as several rhythmic and dance songs. The album also contains several ballads.[5] It also incorporates R&B[4] and tropical house influences.[3]

In a late 2015 interview with Idolator, Larsson confirmed she worked with Dr. Luke on the album, however his work did not make the final cut of the album.[9] During an interview with Billboard, Larsson confirmed she worked with Max Martin's team on the project, saying: "I worked with so many. Me and MNEK have done a lot of other songs. Me and the Max Martin team. Not Max Martin himself, but hopefully next time. The team is really good. The Monsters & Strangerz, I love them so much. And just a lot of super talented people—R. City, Justin Tranter, so many good people. Whoever you meet, they're like, 'I just wrote a No. 1 for this or that.' Everyone has something to brag about, which is what I would do if I wrote that good songs."[10]

Larsson also worked with Stargate and Charlie Puth. During an interview with Digital Spy, Zara confirmed that every song on the album was written and produced by a different production team. After several delays, Larsson finally shared the artwork of the album on her social media on 3 February 2017, and was made available for pre-order that day, revealing the release date of 17 March 2017.[11]

On Metacritic, the album received a score of 76 out of 100 based on four reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception.[43] Harriet Gibsone of The Guardian gave the album a three-star rating out of five, describing the album as "sugar-soaked postmodern pop", saying Larsson is like a "Rihanna-doting teen gatecrashing a tropical house party, gun fingers blazing, and her sugar-soaked songs are imbued with honesty". Gibsone also mentioned how, at a time when pop looks to the future, 'So Good' is in danger of dying quickly".[3] Nick Levine from NME gave the album four stars out of five, saying how the "big hits you know are obviously brilliant", but describing some of the "ballads towards the end" as "dull".[46]
