Midnight Sun

Zara Larsson released Midnight Sun as the lead single from her fifth studio album on June 13, 2025. The track arrives via Sommer House and Epic Records, marking a sonic pivot toward aggressive dance production. Larsson co-wrote the song with Helena Gao and MNEK to explore themes of intimacy set against the aurora borealis. The result blends drum and bass, hyperpop, and Jersey club elements into a driving rhythm that departs from her earlier lighter pop style.

The accompanying music video directed by Charlotte Rutherford visualizes the lyrics with surreal imagery. Red skies and coastal landscapes contrast with the title's reference to the midnight sun. Larsson appears in sun-drenched scenes while singing about being kissed skin under a red sky. This visual strategy supported the song's rapid climb up global charts shortly after its launch. [edit]
