Somewhere between Britney Spears’ low-rise jeans and Paris Hilton’s Motorola Razr, a spiritual successor has risen, and her name is Zara Larsson. The Swedish pop enchantress just dropped the music video for her new single “Midnight Sun,” and honey… this isn’t just a song. This is a solar-powered manifesto for glittery girls with seasonal depression. A serotonin-infused serve for anyone who ever cried under a tanning bed in Juicy Couture.
Zara didn’t come to play. She came to drown us in electro-pop ecstasy, with a title track that melts like a popsicle in the midnight Scandinavian heat. And yes, that’s a real thing. While the rest of us are rotting in artificial lighting, Zara is bathing in 2 a.m. sunshine and looking like a goddess reincarnated from a 2002 Abercrombie campaign.
“I really am proud of my Swedish pop heritage,” Zara purred in a statement so on-brand it might as well have been stitched in rhinestones. “I wanted the whole album to feel like it’s a summer night and it never ends.”
Can someone tell the climate crisis we’re busy dancing? Thanks.
“Midnight Sun” Is the Pop Anthem We’ve Been Starving For
It’s giving Robyn in a halter top, it’s giving ABBA if they had TikTok, it’s giving sunburns and heartbreak under the same pink sky.
This isn’t just a song. It’s a seasonal rebirth. And if Zara’s vision is true, then summer never really ends, babe. Not in Sweden. Not in your soul. Not in your Bluetooth speakers.
Pop’s Ice Queen Is Heating Up: Here Comes the Midnight Sun Album
Set your glittery calendars: Zara’s upcoming album Midnight Sun drops September 26, and if the title track is any indication, it’s about to become the Y2K pop renaissance moment we’ve been begging for. Her last teaser single, “Pretty Ugly,” already had us in a chokehold, but Midnight Sun sounds like the moment Zara stops being humble and starts being The Moment.
Zara’s never been a “maybe.” She’s always been a yes, and this record is sounding like her biggest HELL YES yet.
The Midnight Sun Tour Is About to Eclipse Every Other Girl’s Wig
Before you even finish that cocktail, Zara will be headlining the European leg of her Midnight Sun Tour this fall, and it’s giving international domination. She’s hitting iconic venues like London’s OVO Arena Wembley (Nov 5), Dublin’s 3Arena (Nov 7), and Stockholm’s Avicii Arena (Nov 28). Swedish excellence circling the globe like a Louis Vuitton suitcase on a baggage carousel.
And because one world tour isn’t enough for this hyperpop high priestess, she’ll also be:
- Supporting Tate McRae on the Miss Possessive Tour across North America (Aug 4–Sept 27),
- And joining OneRepublic in Australia and New Zealand in February 2026, yes, even the Southern Hemisphere deserves to bask in Zara’s ultraviolet rays.
