If you’ve ever felt the melancholic magic of a summer night that never ends, Zara Larsson just bottled it into three perfect minutes. With her latest single, ‘Midnight Sun’, the Swedish pop star leans into nostalgia, maximalism, and emotion—and comes out with what may be her most personal era yet. Paired with a dreamy, hyper-saturated video dripping in Y2K aesthetics, Larsson’s new release is more than just a single. It’s an invitation into her world—where the beats are glossy, the emotions run deep, and the sun doesn’t set.
From the first synth swell, ‘Midnight Sun’ lands somewhere between a teenage memory and a cinematic daydream. It’s no accident. The single, created with long-time collaborator MNEK, alongside producers Margo XS, Zhone, and songwriter Helena Gao, is the title track from Larsson’s upcoming fourth album. And it’s a love letter to her roots—musically and emotionally.
“I’m proud of my Swedish pop heritage,” Zara says. “This whole record is about the Swedish summer—when the sun literally doesn’t go down. It’s euphoric, endless, surreal. I wanted it to feel like that, whether it’s December or July. It’s a state of mind.”
The video matches the vibe. Think glittery lip gloss, metallic crop tops, candy-colored lighting, and lens flares worthy of a MySpace-era dream board. But there’s weight beneath the gloss. “It’s about joy, but also nostalgia,” Zara explains.
“A Swedish summer night is part of my soul. It’s where some of my happiest—and saddest—memories live”
And clearly, she’s not the only one feeling the glow. With ‘Midnight Sun’ gaining momentum, Zara’s taking the new era on the road with an international tour that reads like a pop lover’s wishlist. From Madison Square Garden in New York to the Avicii Arena in Stockholm, she’s covering every major stage across North America, Europe, and Oceania.
Dates run from August 2025 through February 2026, and if her past performances are anything to go by, these shows will be packed with energy, choreography, and signature Zara confidence. (You’ll want to get tickets early—especially for dual nights in cities like New York, Boston, and Los Angeles.)
What’s striking about this chapter of Zara Larsson’s career is how unapologetically herself she is. “‘Midnight Sun’ just feels like me,” she says.
“It’s the first time I’ve made something and thought—yeah, no one else could’ve made this. No one can do me like I can”
And she’s right. In a pop landscape often dominated by reinvention for reinvention’s sake, Larsson isn’t shape-shifting—she’s doubling down. On her roots, her instincts, and the specific magic of Swedish melancholy wrapped in bubblegum hooks.
‘Midnight Sun’ is more than a pop track. It’s Zara Larsson’s personal mythology—shimmery, glowing, and a little haunted. And with her global tour just around the corner, she’s not just delivering a vibe. She’s creating an era. Whether you’re dancing in a festival crowd or hitting replay alone at midnight, one thing’s certain: Zara’s sun isn’t setting anytime soon.
