It seems like I'm posting a lot of Zara Larsson lately. Between almost decade-old songs and songs from other people's albums that figure skater like, you'd be right.
Her 2025 album Midnight Sun, however, was excellent, and with the 2026 release of the remix album Midnight Sun; Girls Trip, the songs are getting a second wind. As of this writing, Larsson's title song from this album is her biggest hit not from a Pink Patheress album to date, and I suspect, with the Song of the Summer buzz around it, we're not done hearing it.
Plus, the solstice was yesterday - and that's the actual peak of the.... midnight sun.
On Girls Trip, Larsson teams up with female artists to redo all the Midnight Sun songs. She teams up with (checks notes) PinkPantheress on this song. However, in a twist and UNLIKE "Stateside", it's the solo version that is rising the charts.
This version is still pretty solid.
Of course she performs this great song live - but I wanted to make sure you could hear HER sing it - and she did last year on Good Morning America.
It didn't feel right to end on an American show, though.
How about a live performance from Northern Sweden, where they ACTUALLY have a midnight sun?
It's a little more mellow, but honestly, this version gives me goosebumps.
