The "Midnight Sun" era is officially entering its next chapter. Global pop powerhouse and GRAMMY® nominee Zara Larsson has sent fans into a frenzy by announcing her upcoming project, Midnight Sun: Girls Trip, slated for release on May 1 via Epic Records and Sommer House.
Following the massive success of her 2025 studio album Midnight Sun, Larsson is wasting no time. The announcement arrived alongside striking cover art featuring the Swedish star perched atop a vibrant pink hot rod, set against the backdrop of the open road. It’s an image that perfectly captures the adventurous, high-octane energy that has defined Larsson’s recent career trajectory.
While the exact nature of the project remains under wraps, Larsson has been dropping breadcrumbs across social media. Fans have turned into digital detectives after she posted a "Girls Trip" map featuring 12 flower icons scattered across the globe. The leading theory? A 12-track project where every song features a different international artist. This speculation was only fueled by photos of Larsson packing a brightly decorated suitcase, captioned simply, “Packed and ready for my Girls Trip.”
This announcement comes at a time when Larsson’s chart dominance is undeniable. She currently has three singles simultaneously climbing the Billboard Hot 100:
“Stateside” (feat. PinkPantheress): A global smash that hit #1 on the Billboard Global 200 after a viral Olympic figure-skating routine.
“Midnight Sun”: The titular track of her previous album.
“Lush Life”: A perennial favorite currently approaching one billion views on YouTube.
Critics are calling this Larsson’s "main girl" era, with VOGUE noting she has finally come into full view as a pop leader. After GQ crowned her previous work the "Album of the Summer," expectations for this "Girls Trip" are sky-high.
Fans can pre-order the project now to reserve their seat for the May 1 arrival. With a full itinerary still to come, one thing is certain: Zara Larsson is in the driver’s seat.
