"Egoist" is a song by Swedish alternative rock band Kent. It was announced as the first single from the album Då som nu för alltid,[1] however, on 17 April 2016 Kent announced the track listing which omitted "Egoist".[2]

Critical reception[edit]

Anders Nunstedt at Expressen wrote: "Egoist is not Kent's best single, but it already feels like a given on the Greatest hits album the band plans to release this autumn – ahead of their very last arena tour. It is also a welcome confirmation that the dissolution of the band is not based on the fact that they have nothing left to give."[3] Håkan Steen at Aftonbladet described the song as "a dark fight song" and thought that "it sounds like a hit."[4]
