Zara Larsson's "Midnight Sun" Video is a Y2K-Inspired Summer Fantasy
Zara Larsson has unveiled the music video for her latest single, “Midnight Sun”—the title track from her upcoming fifth studio album, set for release on September 26, 2025, via Sommer House and Epic Records. Directed by Charlotte Rutherford, the video is a dazzling, Y2K-inspired, Lisa Frank-esque visual that amplifies the song’s already euphoric pop energy, blending nostalgic early-2000s vibes with a futuristic, dreamlike aesthetic. And this one is a radiant tribute to the endless summer nights that inspired the track.
In the song’s vibey pre-chorus, Larsson sings, “Show my tan lines, low-rise / Rooftop down / It's golden hour all the time” before kicking into a high energy chorus with frenetic house breakbeats, serene trance synths, and soaring EDM build-ups—all visually brought to life through dynamic, sun-drenched backdrops that capture the magic of summer nights that never fade.
Produced with collaborators MNEK, Margo XS, Zhone, and Helena Gao, “Midnight Sun” is also part of a 10-track album that dives into themes of ambition, identity, and self-reflection. Following her April 2025 single “Pretty Ugly,” this release marks yet another bold era for Larsson, merging her unique interpretation of polished dance pop with the promise of emotional exploration.
And overall, with its vibrant visuals and infectious energy, the “Midnight Sun” video showcases Larsson’s talent for crafting immersive dance pop experiences. It’s a captivating celebration of summer, nostalgia, and her Swedish roots, inviting fans to lose themselves in an infectious, vibrant world where the sun never sets.
