The Swedish singer dropped her newest single, “Crush,” on Friday (August 15), giving fans another hint at what to expect from her upcoming album, ‘Midnight Sun,’ out September 26. She previously released two other singles for the project earlier this year, “Pretty Ugly” and “Midnight Sun.”
Co-written by Larsson alongside Helena Gao and producers Margo XS and MNEK, ‘Crush’ traces the pull of a fleeting infatuation against the reality of an existing relationship. An official video is billed as coming soon.
In the percussive pop track, Larsson sings about how her new crush will “ruin” her life, as it is just a “fantasy” interrupting the love she shares with the partner she already has. However, that doesn’t mean she’s not feeling the pain of the not-quite-a-relationship coming to an end.
The track arrives as she continues a North American arena run supporting Tate McRae, with a European headline tour to follow before launching the ‘Midnight Sun’ European tour later this year, including London’s OVO Arena Wembley and a homecoming at Stockholm’s Avicii Arena.
Larsson also shared colorful visuals for the single, taken by Charlotte Rutherford, on Instagram that complement the art for her forthcoming album. In the snaps, she poses along a chain-link fence next to a phone and trash as a stunning sunset paints the sky in oranges, pinks, purples and blue.
