Zara Maria Larsson (/ˈzɑːrə ˈlɑːrsən/, Swedish: [ˈsɑ̂ːra ˈlɑ̌ːʂɔn] (listen); born 16 December 1997) is a Swedish singer and songwriter. At the age of 10, she achieved national fame in Sweden for winning the 2008 season of the talent show Talang, the Swedish version of British TV's Got Talent. Four years later, in 2012, Larsson signed with the record label TEN Music Group and subsequently released her debut compilation recording, the extended play Introducing, in January 2013.

Larsson's first original song, "Uncover", topped the music charts in Scandinavia: Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. In February 2013, "Uncover" was certified Platinum by Universal Music Sweden. In July 2013, Introducing was certified 3× Platinum in the country. Larsson signed a three-year contract with Epic Records in the United States in April 2013. In 2016, she performed at the opening and closing ceremonies for UEFA Euro in France.

Larsson's second studio album, So Good, was released on 17 March 2017 and entered at number seven on the UK Albums Chart. The record was her international breakthrough, producing global number ones such as "Lush Life", "Never Forget You", "Ain't My Fault", and "Symphony", a collaboration with Clean Bandit. Following the album's success, Larsson toured with Clean Bandit and Ed Sheeran and released a slew of singles, including the European hits "Ruin My Life" (2018) and "Like It Is" (2020).

She has received numerous awards and nominations, including four Grammys, 5 GAFFAs, 3 MTV Europe Music Awards, and 3 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.

"Lush Life" topped the charts in Sweden for five weeks, becoming Larsson's second number–one single in her home country, also topping the charts in Mexico and Poland. It also peaked at number two in Denmark, Ireland (where it spent 17 consecutive weeks in the top ten), and Norway, number three in the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (after an 11-week climb), number four in Germany, Austria and Australia, and number six in Finland.

I live my day as if it was the last

Live my day as if there was no past

Doing it all night, all summer

Doing it the way I wanna

Yeah I’m dance my heart out ’til the dawn

But I won’t be done when morning comes

Doing it all night, all summer

Gonna spend it like no other

It was a crush

But I couldn’t, couldn’t get enough

It was a rush

But I gave it up

It was a crush

Now I might have went and said too much

But that’s all it was

So I gave it up

I live my day as if it was the last

Live my day as if there was no past

Doing it all night, all summer

Doing it the way I wanna

Yeah I’m dance my heart out ’til the dawn

But I won’t be done when morning comes

Doing it all night, all summer

Gonna spend it like no other

It was a crush

I kept saying I’m stay in touch

But that thing went bust

So I gave it up

No tricks, no bluff

I’m just better off without them cuffs

Yeah the sun won’t set on us

Went low, went high

Still waters run dry

Gotta get back in the groove

I ain’t ever worry

Went low, went high

What matters is now

Getting right back in the mood

I live my day as if it was the last

Live my day as if there was no past

Doing it all night, all summer

Doing it the way I wanna

Yeah I’m dance my heart out ’til the dawn

But I won’t be done when morning comes

Doin' it all night, all summer

Gonna spend it like no other

Now I've found another crush

The lush life's given me a rush

Had one chance to make me blush

Second time is one too late

Now I've found another crush

The lush life's given me a rush

Had one chance to make me blush

Second time is one too late

I live my day as if it was the last

Live my day as if there was no past

Doing it all night, all summer

Doing it the way I wanna

Yeah I’m dance my heart out ’til the dawn

But I won’t be done when morning comes

Doin' it all night, summer

Gonna spend it like no other

Now I've found another crush

The lush life's given me a rush

Had one chance to make me blush

Second time is one too late

Now I've found another crush

The lush life's given me a rush

Had one chance to make me blush

Second time is one too late.
