Lyrically, Tigerdrottningen is more politically charged than previous albums. Lead singer Joakim Berg told Gaffa that the album was inspired by the events leading up to the 2014 Swedish election where far-right party Sweden Democrats doubled their support: "Exactly the things you were terrified of happened. The shift towards right [wing politics] followed by nationalism. It is a pattern we are seeing again and again. It also affects the Swedish music scene."
