Composition

"Sugarcoat" was written by Delacey, Sizzy Rocket, ADP, Brittany Mullen, Jaira Burns and produced by the latter three. [2] Written in the key of D♭ major, "Sugarcoat" has a tempo of 122 beats per minute. [3] It's an electro-R&B track. [4] Lyrically, Burns talks about giving someone a chance to screw her over. Mike Wass from Idolator described the song as "admirably angry". [5] The song begins with the lines "Are you proud of this since you ruined it?/ I'm so fucking tired of you/ So emotionless, something I can't fix/ And I'm just way too good for you" sung by Burns. During the chorus she sings "And I hate your tattoos and your hair and your car and your clothes/ And I hate when you're drinking 'cause that's when you fuck up the most/ And I hate that I gave you a chance when I know that you're not what I want/ And I can't sugarcoat it". [6]

Critical reception

Writing for Burn Slow EP, Michael Love Michael from Papermag said that "it's a moody, broody bop about simply tellin' it like it is in a relationship, a virtue that seems to be a lost art these days. As a new and young voice, it's refreshing to hear Burns — someone unafraid to be honest, even if it hurts a little." [7]

Music video

The video for "Sugarcoat" was directed by Sophia Ray. It was released on June 6, 2018, via Burns' VEVO channel. [8]
