Composition

"Invisible" is a pop ballad written by Larsson and Justin Tranter, who were assisted by Jussifer y Caroline Pennell. Zara described the song as "beautiful" and his "message of kindness speaks perfectly to the message of Klaus. I think it can inspire all of us to be a little compassionate to one another".[2]

Tranter says "that director Sergio Pablos told them the theme of Klaus, and showed them parts of the storyboard. After this, Tranter began writing lyrics with a focus on that theme. Pablos wanted the song to have traditional Scandinavian influences, so Tranter worked with a Scandinavian producer to achieve the desired sound".[3]

Live performances

Larsson performed the song live for the first time on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on 3 December 2019.[4]
