Born in Odense, Denmark, MØ was just seven when the Spice Girls inspired her to make music. In her teenage years, she sang in the punk duo MOR and looked up to Kim Gordon as a "big hero and role model". Then in her early twenties, she "fell in love" with hip-hop. All of these influences led to her dreamy electro-pop vibe as MØ, which means "maiden" or "virgin" in Danish.
In 2012, she and Ronni Vindahl began to collaborate on her first tracks. Glass was released in Janurary 2013, and Pilgrim followed in March. MØ was recognized as P3s Uundgåelige (P3 Unavoidable), a label given to rising artists by Danish radio station DR P3, as Pilgrim charted on the Danish Singles Chart. In November, she released her debut EP, Bikini Daze. Finishing out the year, she won the P3 Guld award in December.
In March 2014, she released her album No Mythologies to Follow and began touring in Europe and North America. It was supported by singles Don't Wanna Dance, Say You'll Be There (Spice Girls cover), and Walk This Way. In October 2014, she was featured on Iggy Azalea's single Beg For It and performed on Saturday Night Live — her first entry on the US Billboard charts peaking at #27. In 2015, MØ contributed vocals to Lean On, the Major Lazer and DJ Snake dancehall hit that reached #4 on the US Billboard and topped several other charts around the world.
In 2016, MØ released two singles for her upcoming second studio album — both Kamikaze and Final Song charted in several countries, with the latter reaching #1 on the UK charts. Cold Water, featuring Justin Bieber and MØ, was another Major Lazer track that reached 2 on the Billboard charts in August.

The lyrics of MØ's song "Drum" seem to express a feeling of nostalgia and reflection on a past relationship. The verse "When I'm up in the morning, when I'm up at dawn, I miss her" could imply that the singer is longing for their ex-lover. The following lines "When I'm up at 5 in the morning, when I'm up at dawn, I miss all yours" continue to convey the idea that the singer is feeling the absence of their former partner. This is reinforced by the repetition of the phrase "what we had, was it good, I will always remember" which suggests that the singer is holding onto memories of the past.
The chorus of the song has a much more liberating tone, as the lyrics encourage the listener to "dance to the beat of your drum" and live freely without fear or worry. The lines "we gotta take a break and I promise it's alright, it's your life and it's all yours" promote the idea of self-care and self-love, urging the listener to prioritize their own happiness and well-being. The bridge of the song appears to be quite abstract, with lines such as "No, I don't know what the f*** I really wanna know where, gonna hella, hey, let my hair blow like it was summer" serving to create a rhythmic and almost stream-of-consciousness effect that relates to the overall theme of following one's own rhythm.
Overall, the lyrics of "Drum" suggest a journey of breaking free from the past and embracing a new direction in life, while still cherishing and learning from past experiences.
