"Pray for Me" was composed and written by Dutch songwriters Galeyn Tenhaeff, Marcia Thadea Angele Sondeijker, Neil Hollyn, and Roel Rats. The latter also produced the song. The song, originally written in a man's perspective, was described as a portrayal of a person in a difficult relationship in which "a partner means no good to the other, but despite that the person still chooses to stay because it is so in love." Husøy added, "it is like when you’re screwed and you just pray for yourself to make it out in one piece."
