"Sway" is a song by Swedish singer Tove Styrke from her third studio album, Sway (2018). Styrke wrote the song with Joe Janiak and Mozella in Los Angeles. Janiak handled the production with Elof Loelv as co-producer. It was previewed by Styrke while touring with Lorde in the spring of 2018. Sony Music released the song as the album's fifth single on 2 May 2018, two days before the album. Musically, "Sway" is a pop song with electronica influences. Described by Styrke as a love story, the song's lyrics speak of an infatuation and the different feelings associated with it.

"Sway" received positive reviews from music critics, some of whom highlighted it as one of the best tracks on the album. Upon its release, the song appeared below the top 100 of the Sverigetopplistan singles chart, reaching number four on the Heatseeker chart. The Joanna Nordahl-directed music video depicting a queer romance between two skaters earned critical praise and a Grammis nomination. Styrke has performed the song live on numerous occasions, including the Sway Tour (2018).
