Zara Larsson: Up Close (2025)

Post by bunniefuu »

BRAZIL, SEPTEMBER 2024

ROCK IN RIO

THE WORLD'S BIGGEST MUSIC FESTIVAL

[string music plays]

[Zara] I'm an artist, and I will always

strive for better and bigger.

[string music continues]

That's the blessing and the curse of

always wanting more and having ambition.

I always look for the next thing

and the next thing and the next thing.

[string music

and the sound of camera flashes]

I'd have to tell myself,

"Take it in. Be present."

And please don't be...

Like... Don't think negatively

about anything.

[audience whistling]

Take it in. Take it in.

"Be present."

I will never forget you

You will always be by my side

From the day that I met you

I knew that I would love you

Till the day I die

And I will never want much more

And in my heart I will always be sure

I will never forget you

You will always be by my side

- Till the day I die

- Die

Whoa oh oh

Till the day I die

Never forget you

You will always be by my side

Till the day I die

[public cheers]

[man] That's it! Let's f*cking go!

Breathe! Breathe!

- Yeah!

- [woman] Yeah!

Dennis on the mic!

- Did you enjoy it?

- I did enjoy it.

- [Zara] Have you been struggling?

- Wow.

- What? Can you imagine?

- Great show.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- [Kalli] We partied all night.

- They were quite calm.

- [Kalli] No.

- But they were so responsive.

I was like, "Do you love me?"

When we were out front, it was deafening.

- Really?

- They sang the whole of "Venus."

Knew every word.

I thought it was very calm for Brazil.

They're usually f*cking mental.

- [Kalli] They were into it.

- I like that.

- Yes.

- I had a good time.

[string music playing]

[club music playing]

- Hey.

- Hey.

Are you tired, honey?

[pop music from phone]

- I'm checking my tags.

- Nice.

[Zara Larsson's Ammunition

plays on the phone]

[soft intro music]

[audience cheering in the background]

MAY 2024

[Zara] Can you pull my foot?

[women laughing]

[Zara] Exactly, exactly. Exactly!

[Vendela] Ah!

[Zara laughs]

- [both laugh]

- Yeah!

- [Vendela] Shall I draw the curtains?

- Yeah.

[Zara] No!

- [Vendela] Morning!

- [Zara] Good morning.

- [Zara] Morning!

- [Vendela] What a lovely day.

[Zara laughs]

[Vendela] So lovely. I brought a sandwich.

Thank you.

[Zara] Kelly Clarkson did a cover

of "You Love Who You Love."

- [Vendela] What?

- What?

This feels like it's actually

a Kelly Clarkson song.

Good morning!

- [Lamin] Hello?

- Good morning!

- Hi, honey!

- Hi!

ZARA'S BOYFRIEND

- How are you?

- Good. How are you?

- I'm great.

- What are you eating?

Some breakfast I'm just chewing.

- Oh, that's good!

- [Vendela] Hi!

- [Zara] This bread is so healthy!

- So I thought this morning that...

Maybe it's not a really

delicious salami sandwich,

but that I just haven't had it

in a long time.

You're like, "It's the best

salami sandwich in the world!"

Vendela brought breakfast,

which is so sweet.

- That's nice.

- I know.

Talk to you later, baby!

- I love you.

- Kisses.

- Kisses.

- [Vendela] Kisses!

Are you going to wear makeup today?

- Yeah, maybe a little bit.

- Okay.

f*ck it! I don't need makeup.

f*ck it! f*ck this!

[both laugh]

[Zara] Bang-bang, bang-bang.

Let's go.

- [Vendela] She doesn't lock up.

- Who the f*ck is going to rob me?

[Zara Larsson's

You Love Who You Love playing]

Oh, no!

[they laugh]

I don't know. I don't care.

'Cause you don't wanna listen

You just tell me,

"You love who you love"

Yes, yes.

What the hell.

I lost my floss behind my tooth.

So this has moved.

So now...

It's my curse to wear braces

for the rest of my life.

Now I have to put another bar in there,

if I'm gonna have an Invisalign

so that this... So it comes back.

I had like a little...

Like a little chip in my tooth.

I thought I could file it evenly,

file the chip off.

- [woman] What file?

- Just a nail file.

- Oh, my God.

- Yeah.

I got a nail file, and it worked.

But now they're a little too straight,

don't you think?

I have to round them up a bit.

[man] Okay, okay. Let's do this.

- Did you miss your long hair?

- Yes, I did.

I feel like the hair that I have now

is a little anonymous.

- Exactly.

- It's a bit like this...

Fun, cute... Not even a fun girl.

- Cute girl.

- Cute girl.

- Nothing wrong with that.

- No.

- But we want to be, like...

- Extra.

- [Zara] Mm.

- [Adam] Mm.

I also saw that little "Lush Life"

has two billion streams total

on all the platforms.

Oh! Damn!

What's so crazy about it

is that it just keeps going.

Exactly.

It's probably averaging

a million listens a day still.

That's crazy. When did you release it?

20...

- It's been nine years.

- 2015.

Yeah, I think it was.

- It's really unusual.

- Yeah, it's been a long time.

[piano music playing]

[Zara] I don't feel like I am close

to where I want to be in terms of

outside success.

I want to get my number one

on the album chart on Billboard.

I want to have a Grammy

or two, three, four, or five.

This is what I have seen for myself

for my whole life.

My last big hit...

Like, it's been too long.

- Hi.

- Hey.

That's why this album

is so important to me.

[man] What have you been listening to?

What are you inspired by?

- Is there something you haven't explored?

- [Zara] Like missing out?

It is tricky with this new album

starting out. Like, okay...

It's a feeling of wanting to do

something new and exciting.

But also, you know what?

Who am I?

What do I like? What do I do?

What's my voice?

[piano music playing]

[man] You've been writing a lot together.

We go way back.

I did my very first song ever,

- and we both released it together.

- Wow, okay. Cool.

[Zara]

I didn't start off writing any songs.

All of these amazing writers

would just write the songs for me,

but I wouldn't be in the room.

It was just like, "What?"

So why can't I just try to write the song?

In my first ever,

ever, ever session that I did,

I wrote "Never Forget You"

with Uzo Emenike.

He opened the door

for the songwriting world to me.

How do you usually like to work?

From scratch?

I like to work from scratch, usually.

If you have any words and images...

[Jazz] For me, it's me being

in the rap space heavily.

A lot of it is rooted in truth, you know.

Hardship, and then you come up

and get better,

but it all depends on where you see

your art in this next era for you.

[Zara] I feel like to be personal doesn't

always have to be things that are hard

or that pain you

or, "I went through this.

That was really..."

It could also be... Because I like fun.

I like fun, I like sexy,

I like a good time. I like to dance.

I feel like I want some more...

Like that little "psych," you know.

[laughs]

[Uzo] Oh, my God!

It's okay, but I was like,

"Wait! What are you...?"

[electronic music playing]

[Zara] I want to be personal,

but I also want people to dance.

[Uzo] I want to be personal,

but I also want to dance.

I want to be personal,

but I also just want to dance.

[Uzo and Zara laugh]

[Uzo] It's interesting as far as

what it takes to be a pop star.

You're selling a fantasy.

[Zara] Do you think it's like a shield?

- [Uzo] Yeah.

- I won't let anyone know the real me.

I guess it's a shield to protect

who you really are, to who it matters to.

I think that artists forget

that when I listen to your music,

I'm not thinking about you.

I'm thinking about me.

I'm thinking about how your experience

relates to my life.

So when you talk about

the things you talk about,

yes, I do care that it happened to you,

but I want to say, "I can identify

with her 'cause that happened to me too."

[pop music recording playing]

[woman] It would be nice to have

something summery.

- Now it's all...

- Totally.

[Zara hums]

"Sober"?

"Sunburned and never sober"

or "naked and never sober"?

[Kalli] I liked "naked and never sober,"

because that feels...

It's like a picture.

[Zara] I just want to feel like people

know me and my music

and think, "That's a cool girl."

More than just,

"Oh, I've heard her on the radio."

They know my songs,

but they don't know me as an artist.

Got the euros in my hand

Got the time to spend

It's more than just having a big hit.

It's about the world you create

and how you make sure

that the people listening to you

also want to step into your world.

This feels really small.

I want it to end right here.

Now it's kind of like,

"What is that world?"

I'm looking at my social media,

I'm looking at my videos,

I'm looking at my shows,

and I don't see a red thread.

Now I feel like I look like

an insane person.

[woman laughs]

I don't know if it's the shorts.

It's like...

[woman laughs]

[Zara] It has to start from something,

and it has to start off

by feeling real and me,

so I can invite people into it.

And whatever that is,

right now, I don't know.

[man] Yeah, okay.

We miss you, little darling.

You won't even come home

before we go away again.

[Zara] Where?

- [mom] Back to Sweden.

- No, I don't know if I'll come home.

ZARA'S PARENTS

- You don't know if you're coming home?

- No.

No. Okay.

- Rapunzel! Look at her.

- [dad] Rapunzel.

Does Mommy have complaints?

Have you worn weird clothes

that made your mom's stomach hurt?

"Look at this on Instagram.

What's this for?"

[Zara laughs]

Relax, damn it. She's 27.

"No, I'm going to call Kalli..."

[Zara laughs]

[Anders laughs]

I was more like that when I was 15,

that I wanted to be naked all the time,

than I am now.

- I think it's a shame...

- I like being naked.

It's part of who I am.

But you can wear some clothes.

- I do. What the f*ck?

- Yes, exactly.

The first time I called Kalli

about something

was when you were crawling around

on the floor in your silver boots.

From the "Ain't My Fault" video?

Yeah.

[laughs]

- [Zara] Do you live around here?

- I'm from New York.

I fly back and forth.

You've been in LA for a while now?

Couple months.

When I do make the trip,

I like to stay for at least

one or two months. It's far.

- Exactly.

- I wake up at 6 a.m.

- Go to the gym.

- And it stays with me for five days.

Then I'm back.

Last night, I'm back

to my regular routine of 5 a.m.

- Yeah.

- 5 a.m.?

You know what? Get it working.

- You know...

- Like, going to sleep at 5 a.m.

- I thought you meant waking up.

- No, no, no.

No, going to sleep at 5 a.m.

I'm waking up 11.30, like, "Let's go."

- Going to sleep at 5 a.m. is crazy.

- I know.

It's just in my DNA or something.

- Oh, my God.

- Yeah.

[calm music playing]

Left.

Then down to the right.

And then... And then down.

You're flexible.

I did a lot of ballet growing up,

and somehow, a lot of it just stuck.

It stays. Your body...

Forward, go. Five, six, seven, eight.

And one, two, and three, four. And last...

[Zara] I don't know where it comes from,

when I first felt it,

but it's been there

for as long as I can remember.

Hey!

[giggling]

Some people love to sing,

but don't love attention.

Or vice versa.

And I love both.

[all] I don't believe

That didn't go well!

[all laugh]

- [teacher] What didn't go well?

- I'm sore. Can you have sore tongues?

Could it be that Zara Larsson talks a lot?

[Zara] Yes. Sorry.

- Shut up!

- [laughing] Sorry.

We didn't have a living room table, but...

in front of the couch

and where you would have a table

and between the TV,

that's where Zara performed.

Skuggorna ruva

Every day, every night.

Sometimes in the mornings.

On the weekends,

it could be 24 hours a day.

That's what it was like.

They were always putting on a show.

And then Zara would take over.

Strlande stjrna

[Agnetha] And we had to sit there

and applaud and so on.

Strlande stjrna

[all] Bravo.

[applause]

[woman] A big round of applause

for Zara Larsson.

[audience cheering]

[Zara] I remember my first,

first, first talent show

outside a shopping mall,

and it was in December.

It was f*cking freezing.

The only people in the crowd

were the parents of the kids performing.

But I remember wanting to do it so bad.

Yeah!

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Growing up, I was reading

a bunch of these tabloids

that my grandma used to have.

[laughs]

So I felt like, "How can I speed this up?"

Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you

That is how I know you

[Zara] I wanted to be on that show because

it wasn't in a mall, it was on TV.

That felt very big and amazing.

[presenter] The winner of Talang 2008 is:

Zara Larsson!

[audience cheering]

When I was a kid,

I said I'd be bigger than Elvis Presley,

and that's a pretty big goal,

but I want to be someone

that will last forever.

A real legend.

Stop laughing!

And you're here in my heart

[Zara] I think I had very, very high hopes

of what was going to happen afterwards.

It was TV, and you thought,

"Boom, now it's the paparazzi.

Now the paparazzi will be coming."

[laughs]

[woman] When you see her, do you think

that's something you'd like to do?

No, my dream is bigger

than the Eurovision Song Contest.

I think I'd rather aim for the US.

It sounds like I'm the worst, like...

"I'm going to be huge!"

But that's where I'm aiming, actually.

[Zara] I went to LA, and I thought,

"Okay, let me sign

with Disney and Nickelodeon.

I'm gonna get a record deal."

[Zara] I got to sing a little bit,

and he said it was great,

and it was special, he said, many times.

That's huge.

They've got Eminem, Lady Gaga,

U2... a lot of people, so...

- [woman] What about Zara Larsson?

- We'll see.

What else did he say? Tell me!

It's a secret.

[women laughing]

And everyone was like, "She's so great."

I was like, "How am I gonna deal

with the paparazzi?"

[laughs]

And that was that. Nothing happened.

Nobody wanted to sign me.

The thing is...

[relaxed guitar music and waves lapping]

from being a child to my first release

of my first song, "Uncover,"

for me, it was like, "Duh!

Of course I'm going to be an artist."

I think that's why

manifestation is a real thing.

I wasn't thinking,

"What if it doesn't happen?

What if I fail?"

It was not even a thought

in my small mind at that point.

[relaxed guitar music and waves lapping]

[music continues]

She was 14 years old and a little sassy.

I said, "What do you really want..."

I had heard that she wanted

to be an artist, and we met in the office.

"I want to be on the big stages

of the world," she said.

"Okay," I said.

"That sounds fine, but are you up to it?

It's incredibly difficult."

"Yes, absolutely," she says, totally sure.

She and her mom were up in the office,

and Zara had gone to a ballet class.

Suddenly, the Mom, Agnetha, says,

"Zara, why don't you sing something?"

She starts singing a cappella.

Really strongly.

There's no instruments, there's nothing,

and she just goes for it.

I was like, "Oh, my God!"

I mean... If you're brave enough

to do that, it's something special.

She had that extra something.

Nobody sees, nobody knows

We are a secret, can't be exposed

[Zara] For me, it was just like, "Finally,

I'm gonna release my first song.

Of course, it's gonna be a hit.

What else? Why wouldn't it be?"

[Uncover playing]

That's how it goes

Far from the others

Close to each other

That's when we uncover-cover

[Kalli] I've known Zara

since she was about 15 years old.

She was very ambitious

and excited to go to the label.

Excited to see what's going to happen.

Her big shot.

[man] I was completely blown away

by how confident and how great she was,

a 15-year-old, 16-year-old girl,

sitting with what she must

have regarded as three old men,

playing a record with no manager,

no agent.

Just her, and she just commanded the room.

I thought,

"She believes she's a star, and I agree."

I live my day as if it was the last

I live my day as if there was no past

Doin' it all night, all summer

[Ola] "Lush Life" became a big song

for Zara everywhere.

I'ma dance out my heart

Suddenly, it was number one

in the US on Spotify.

I live my day as if it was the last

I live my day as if there was no past

[Zara] Everything was just happening.

Then I did the Euro Cup 2016.

We're in this together

Hear our hearts beat together

Everything was just going

so well all the time.

Every song I released was like,

"Okay, boom, yay, it's top ten. Whatever.

It's top ten? Okay, whatever."

[Kalli] I've never been on holiday

without hearing a Zara song

in any part of the world.

of your symphony

Like a love song on

[Jimmy Fallon]

has the number one dance song.

[woman]

has over 200 million streams.

[man] Zara Larsson!

I used to be so happy

But without you here I feel so low...

[Zara] But I was still not really

taking in how well it was doing,

because that was how I'd pictured it to be

ever since I was seven or six...

my whole life.

I just took it so for granted...

because I had normalized it

so much in my head.

And I wasn't really excited about it.

But I also realized

that I have to keep this streak going.

And I felt so, so, so much pressure.

And I waited a good four years,

and then I released Poster Girl.

Um

I had no momentum, I had no hype.

I had no single doing well.

What a failure. This is so bad.

And that, like,

taking for granted the success of it all

had just completely disappeared.

So, in everything relating

to my musical achievements,

I rarely feel like, "Yay!"

I mostly feel like...

"What's this? This is terrible."

Yeah.

[Agnetha]

I don't think she's ever satisfied.

So, for a while, I had to tell her,

because she came off the stage saying,

"I'm not happy. This was bad."

"If you are going to do this, you can't

keep singing. Then we will stop."

Has "Symphony" really taken off?

- In streams and stuff?

- Yeah.

- No.

- We discussed that it's not showing.

- But it must have.

- I don't think so.

- Do you see it? What's it at now?

- 96,000,793.

I don't think it's

being updated every day.

It is, I swear. I check it every day.

[all laugh]

Really?

- You can see it.

- Yeah, I know.

Monthly listeners are updated every day

and the songs every day.

Every day at four o'clock.

Just... I don't know exactly. At 4:02...

Symphony

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Hanna...

Venus

Venus

[both laugh]

[Zara] If rats had fuzzy tails,

do you think people would like them more?

- [Uzo] f*ck rats!

- [Zara gasps]

- [Zara] For real?

- I hate rats, insects, and nature.

[Uzo laughs]

- He's a city boy.

- I'm a city boy.

Hello! Period!

- [Zara] I love rats.

- You like rats?

- [Zara] I love them.

- Why?

I want one as a pet.

- You have to get two...

- Not a mouse?

They're not as smart.

Rats are really smart,

and they're so cute.

I think I like them

because so many people dislike them.

- [Uzo] That's hilarious.

- They don't get a good rap.

[Uzo] The rebellion.

[music playing]

[Zara hums along]

[music continues playing]

I feel like it's missing...

[Zara hums along]

You know what I'm saying?

Put it in, and let's hear it.

[Uzo] You know what it was

Right when we started

So why you broken-hearted

But I'm still trying to party

I am who I am

Ain't gonna change it

The love we share ain't changing

But

Boy, you can't control my life

[music playing and cuts out]

I was worried that I had invited myself

into someone's house.

Yeah.

[Kalli] Do you mind if we have

a Euro conversation quickly,

or do you want to have it on your own?

It's up to you.

Yeah.

- Yeah?

- I don't mind.

Zara has been asked to be

the Eurovision interval act

I mean, it's a good opportunity,

but it's really annoying in my body.

I don't feel excited about it.

I feel quite like...

[Zara] It's hard because

Eurovision has been criticized

for allowing Israel to participate,

and I've spoken out

about this conflict before.

When I say, "Free Palestine!"...

I've never been cancelled

like that before.

CRITIQUES AFTER PALESTINE POSI got pulled off of shows

or cancelled award-show performances

or had deals being taken from me.

It felt like, "Whoa!

Okay? That's the reality of it?

That's what it is?"

That shook me a bit, I think,

because I've never felt that before.

[instrumental background music playing]

[Kalli] She definitely in the past

has commented on things quickly,

and then it's picked up in the media,

and it's grown into something

she didn't expect when she delivered it.

Um

Growing up, I just had to find my voice.

What do I think is wrong?

What do I think is right?

What are my core values and beliefs?

[electronic music playing]

You're kind of shaping yourself a bit,

especially in the teenage years. Who...

Who I am and what I believe in.

I was teaching myself

why it's important

to stand up for yourself,

why you should be a feminist.

AFTER THE WAVE OF HATE,

I WANTED TO LEAVE SWEDEN

And...

And it happened simultaneously

with my music getting big.

I know in my heart what I think,

but if you just know it in your heart...

[Zara sighs]

That doesn't matter.

That doesn't mean anything. I don't know.

[man's voice on the phone]

I've always been...

a girl who thinks and believes

that I can make a difference.

At least a little bit,

I can make a difference.

That's just how I am as a person.

I've never been quiet

when I've seen something

that's been unfair

or when people are like...

And I feel like the older I get,

I might end up in one of these cynical...

"Who cares?"

That's so sad. It's sad to lose...

I feel like I'm taking a step away

from the feeling of being able

to make a difference. Maybe I can't.

Maybe I should just sing.

[waves lapping]

[birdsong]

[leaves rustling]

ZARA'S SUMMERHOUSE

[Zara] I've never stayed here

for more than three nights.

[pop music playing]

I come here as often

as I can when I'm home.

Three nights is the longest

I've been here.

Have I even been here for three nights?

[pop music playing in the background]

Melon tastes so good.

Hey, Mom!

Hi! I'm at the store we were at.

But...

ZARA'S MOM

It's... It's blue.

What? It didn't... Is that so wrong?

Well, it's just that I never wear blue.

- But this is kind of cute.

- Yeah, it's really cute.

A classic... Yeah. I think that's cute.

- Okay, we'll be in touch, my love.

- We will.

- Take care of yourself.

- Yes, I will.

That's good.

- Kisses.

- Kisses to you.

We had an argument yesterday.

Her way of bonding

is to start talking about furniture.

And start talking about interior design,

especially out here in the country.

BOYFRIEND

No one apologizes in my family, ever.

- No.

- You don't say sorry.

"f*ck, I'm sorry I acted like that."

"I'm sorry I said that

or spoke to you like that." It's just...

- "Next."

- "What do you think of this wallpaper?"

[Lamin laughs]

You just forget about it.

Yeah, it's kind of like that.

She thinks I should text her

every time I land somewhere,

which, unfortunately, I absolutely don't.

She has me on Find My Friends,

so she can see where I am.

[Lamin laughs]

My mom would always say,

"I'm not her manager, I'm just her mom."

But when you think back at it,

she kind of was my manager.

In a lot of ways.

[Agnetha] This is Zara's upcoming website

that we're working on.

It's not quite finished yet, but this is

the idea of what it'll look like.

- That's not what I said, Mom.

- What? Calm down!

- Oh, my God! You're not listening!

- What is it this time?

[Zara] She would take pictures of me

and call her friend

who had a printing company,

and they would print the posters.

Then she would call someone else she knew

who would print the records for me.

And then we could sell them.

She would make things happen for me.

She did so much for me

and never really got much in return.

[Agnetha] I've always been with her.

I was with her in the US every trip

until she was maybe 18 years old,

and I've been sitting in every studio,

outside the studio room, watching her.

It's the same as usual.

There'll be singing and singing,

so I guess it'll be late today too.

[Zara] My mom curled me and still does,

and it has helped me so much.

I wouldn't be the person I am

if my mom had not...

[Zara makes a swishing sound]

done this for me my whole life.

Yeah.

If I hadn't had her here,

I don't think we'd have

a single piece of furniture.

Nothing would have happened,

and my mom still makes things happen,

but that's because

I'm not making decisions.

I'm not making decisions because she...

I don't know.

I kind of need to be better

at making decisions for myself.

I've never been allowed to do that.

I paid my first bill five weeks ago.

- Which was a parking... Does that count?

- No.

[Zara laughs]

That's not even a bill.

- I paid something.

- Yes, you did.

I've never done that before,

and that was a big deal for me.

Then I felt like

I'm in control of my life.

- [Zara] Good girl.

- [Lamin] Nice. Good!

[all cheer]

Okay, okay! Okay!

[Zara] It's funny because

I don't know anything about my life.

If I think about what I'm doing

next week, I don't really know.

Maybe I look at my schedule,

and it will say what I'm doing,

but I don't really do my schedule.

I don't plan my trips,

I don't book my accommodation,

I don't book my cars, I don't...

I don't really know

what's happening in my life.

[Zara laughs]

[relaxed music]

[Lamin hums]

[Lamin] There.

[Zara] Come and lie down, honey.

- [Lamin] I'm unpacking my bag.

- Yes, good.

[Lamin] You're the one who's slacking off.

Get up!

- We can relax later.

- Can you pull my foot?

- If you get up after.

- Yes.

- Up you go.

- Nice!

You promised.

[Zara] There's so much to do all the time.

[Lamin] Yes, but we're almost done.

[Zara] As soon as you're done,

it just starts again.

[Lamin] Then you'll go on tour,

and everything will be...

[kiss sound]

fixed and sorted.

- [Zara] But in life.

- Yeah.

Absolutely. Don't fall.

No.

Should I get plates?

[TV plays quietly]

[Zara chuckles]

[both laugh]

[gentle music playing]

[background chatter]

REHEARSALS FOR THE UPCOMING TOUR

Then it grew to be a siren

I'm a fire and I'm comin' undone

It's so beautiful, now I'm cryin'

Thought the love was made

For someone else

But you have changed me

My body and mind agree

That you have rearranged me

CREATIVE DIRECTOR / CHOREOGRAPHER

Venus

You got me fallin' in

Girl, give him up

I'm telling you as a friend

What he's putting you through

Is too much

I get a little lazy

when it comes to rehearsals.

I don't enjoy it that much.

If they had a mirror,

it would have been more fun, I think.

I've never enjoyed rehearsals.

I don't know how I'm able

to nail the choreography later.

Something just happens.

[Agnetha] This circle that I wanted

to put a deck on as well.

[Zara] Mm

That's where there's most sun.

You can put grass there

or a slab or whatever.

No.

What do you mean no?

- Why would we have...

- I'm talking about...

- That's where the sun is all day.

- Did you turn on the mosquito machine?

- What?

- The mosquito machine?

No, but we can ask them to.

Good. I have to go in now.

- Kisses.

- Kisses. Love you.

- Bye.

- Bye.

[loud music playing]

Everything that we do, yeah

I knew I had

Something special with you

But sometimes you gotta know

That these things fall through

But I

Will we have lights up front or just...

Feeling it, loving it

Everything we do

And all along I knew

I had something special with you

But sometimes you gotta know

That these things fall through

I can't hide my connection with you

You

You

I knew that I would love you

Till the day I die

Till the day I die

You

To the day I die

[audience cheering]

[Symphony playing]

Are you ready?

[audience cheering]

I've been hearing symphonies

[audience singing along]

[Zara] Hey!

Was solo singing on my own

Now I can't find the key without you

And now your song is on repeat

And I'm dancin' on to your heartbeat

And when you're gone I feel incomplete

Are you ready?

Oh

I just wanna be part of

Your symphony

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Symphony

Like a love song on the radio

Hey, symphony

Hey, hey

- Hey, hey

- Hold me tight and not let go

Don't let go

Symphony

Like a love song on the radio

Will you hold me tight and not let go?

Can you see us?

- Where are you?

- I'm coming out.

You're going strong, girl.

I don't know if it's...

[Zara] I love to be on stage.

I love to be doing my show.

It's always a good time.

It really is always, always a good time.

But I also felt like

I've done those venues

and so many festivals.

Because...

I want to have a bigger production,

do a bigger show.

Have a show that you look at,

and you're like, "Wow! That's amazing!"

And I'm just ready...

to level up.

[gentle piano music playing]

[Zara] Do you want to see

what we have planned?

Dishwasher, drawer, end panel.

- And then all the fun stuff. Furniture...

- [Lamin] Yeah, the best.

- And fabrics, rugs, chairs, and tables.

- Will you be away a lot?

No, I'll be home a lot.

- I don't know about that.

- Yes, I will.

Good.

Can you pull my neck?

I'm not sure if...

I want to be someone

who has a sexy curated home.

[Lamin] Yeah, but are you that person now?

[Zara] I have to be that kind of person.

- [Lamin] No, honey!

- Yes!

When we have a family,

you'll just become an ugly...

I don't think you'll care that you have

to have a curated, nice villa.

- I want it to feel nice.

- I know, I know.

But if it's too nice, you'll forget

what's really nice, which is the kids.

That was my point. You know?

You can have both.

You can't do that and be a global artist

flying around the world.

Yes, I can. I can have a nice apartment

and be a good parent.

[Lamin] And a good girlfriend or wife,

hopefully.

Your Instagram has to look good,

and your house.

I know. I want it to look nice.

- I want it to be pretty.

- It's already nice and pretty.

- Yeah.

- I don't want you to lose sight of that.

Because you're already there.

[reggae music playing]

[gentle music playing]

Shine on me

Kiss me in the dark

Tell me I look beautiful

Underneath the stars

Head on your chest

That's my favorite part

Don't I look beautiful

Underneath the stars

Shine on me

Kiss me in the dark

Tell me I look beautiful

Underneath the stars

Must have seen you in a...

ARTIST / SONGWRITER

Must have seen you in a past life

"Feels like I've known you,

like, for ever and ever."

I want to make that clear,

because now it feels like...

Lovers in the past,

young lovers in the next life...

[music playing in the background]

There's something with "the past life"

that's like, "Whoa!"

"We have known each other."

It's like, "Maybe in the next life."

[Kalli] Oh

We've been laying in the grass like

Young lovers in a past life

Beauty mark on your forehead

Hand prints on my a*s like

More smiles than the usual

A little sweeter than I'm...

- A little sweeter than I'm used to

- That's it.

Smiles than the usual

A little sweeter than I'm used to

You say they

How's it sound?

[Uzo hums the melody]

[Uzo hums the melody]

[instrumental music playing]

[Uzo hums the melody]

I like that.

[instrumental music playing]

[Uzo] How does it go?

We've been laying in the grass like

Young lovers in a past life

Beauty mark on your forehead

Hand prints on my a*s like

More smiles than the usual

A little sweeter than I'm used to

[piano music playing]

ZARA IS MEETING THE CEO OF EPIC

RECORDS TO DISCUSS THE NEW RECORD

[door buzzer]

[indistinct chatter]

[instrumental background music]

[CEO] Do you feel pressure on this?

- This record?

- Yes.

I feel like...

I have a lot to prove.

And I feel like...

it's go time.

Like, I have to go,

and I have to be f*cking amazing.

But I feel the pressure of it too.

It's go time for everybody,

'cause we've put a lot of years into this.

We've put our hearts

and souls into this, right?

- And it's about time.

- I know it is.

I want this to be amazing.

I always remember the references

that you gave me to Beyonc.

Of course. That's what I want.

I want the hit record

so I can have the full production.

We have no limits.

We can do whatever we want. Full band,

full dancers, whatever it is, and just...

But that's what you've been working for

all this time.

- We're very serious about that.

- Yeah.

And everybody's put in their work,

and now, it's time to cash in.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I take this sh*t seriously, and...

I just want it so bad.

[car horns]

This is so nice.

So cute!

So cute. Love. I'd die for her, actually.

[Zara] Die for her? Fun.

- Jamaica.

- Jamaica.

Jamaica.

[car horns]

[woman] The Sylvia meeting,

would you like to talk about it?

[Zara] I do feel pressure

making this album good.

Because it's like...

- What is this, my fifth album?

- Yeah.

Come on, now.

- Has she said anything?

- It has to pop off.

What will she do if she doesn't like it?

She would just tell you.

"f*ck this, I'm calling a new producer."

That's what happened with Poster Girl.

I was going back and forth.

I didn't know what I wanted.

Trying stuff

but not really committing to anything.

I was just confused...

And she told me about it.

She was like, "Girl, what the f*ck

is this? What's going on?

What do you want to do? Who are you?

What kind of music do you want to do?"

I couldn't really answer that,

and it was basically like,

"We can't go in circles anymore.

Birth the f*cking baby.

This is getting ridiculous."

And I was just bawling in the office.

Yeah.

I feel like what I fail to do

is also to connect my songs with me.

A lot of people know the songs.

But they don't know I sing them.

- Yeah.

- You know?

Yeah.

What the f*ck?

What the f*ck is up with that?

So, yeah, I've got the hits,

but no cultural relevance.

- I have a lot of tension in my jaw.

- Really?

You know what I do

when I don't have my nails?

- What?

- I scratch the insides of my cheeks.

I want them to be completely smooth.

Feel your cheeks.

They're not completely smooth.

- At least not mine. It's like a tiny bump.

- Right.

And I scratch that off. I scratch the...

Yeah. And I also scratch my scalp.

- [woman] You're kind of...

- Sometimes, I think I have OCD.

- [woman] Girl, for sure.

- You know?

[airplane engine]

[hairdryer blowing]

Why are you in such a rush? Chill down.

- Rush?

- Yeah.

[Lamin] Hey, Mom.

- How are you?

- I'm good.

- Is she performing down there?

- Yes, it's a festival.

- [Zara] Can I have a tassel?

- [Lamin] She's performing.

It's a big festival.

There are lots of celebrities.

Some fans.

I think they want a picture of you.

They're waiting for you.

Did you hear what I said, honey?

Some fans are waiting for you.

[relaxed lounge music playing]

[music gets samba vibes]

Here! One here!

Do you understand

that we're going to experience this?

[Lamin] Yes. No, it's...

[Lamin] Are you excited?

Have you been here?

[Kalli] No.

[expectant music playing]

- Right. Sit here.

- Here?

[background chatter]

Rock in Rio.

There's a huge audience waiting for you.

- How does it feel?

- Amazing.

[speaks Portuguese]

Can you please send a message

to your TikTok followers?

Hi, Tracklist people.

How are you feeling, Zara?

A little bit nervous maybe?

Yeah, I've been stressed.

I haven't slept

for three days or something.

I don't sleep very well.

But that's fine. Yeah.

[tense string music]

Baby, I'm not even in a gown

I'm just in my t-shirt on the couch

And the way you want me

Makes me want you now

But the only thing

Y ou have to say is "wow"

Wow

Wow, yeah

Hey!

Drop-drop

Make your jaw drop-drop

Say "Oh my" drop-drop-drop

Make you say "Oh my God"

My, drop-drop

Make your jaw drop

Make you say "Oh my God"

And you never felt

This type of emotion

Make your jaw drop-drop

Say "Oh my" drop-drop-drop

Make you say

[Kalli] Every single time Zara performs

on a large stage at a festival...

You know...

In that moment

when she's channeling whatever

and performing in an amazing way...

Then I see what she wants,

what she lusts after.

[string music playing]

[audience cheering]

[Zara] I love a good festival,

but would these people go look for me

to go to my shows?

I don't know.

[dramatic string music playing]

[Roger] I think any pressure Zara feels

she creates herself.

And it's a pressure

of wanting to be great.

[rainfall]

[Lush Life playing]

Yeah, I'ma dance my heart out

Till the dawn

But I won't be done when morning comes

Doin' 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

Yeah

It was a crush

Now I might've went and said too much

I think it's nicer

if it's a little to the side.

- Just a little...

- Okay.

One more time.

- Yes.

- Let's try it.

[Ammunition playing in the background]

PREPARATIONS FOR AN AMERICAN TOUR AS THE

OPENING ACT FOR THE NORWEGIAN DJ KYGO

Girls like me know what we need

Fix yourself or watch me leave

They dream 'bout controllin' me

Yes.

What we did today is too long.

It can only be 45 minutes.

So what should we get rid of?

"Can't Tame Her" is definitely staying.

"Lush Life" is definitely staying.

"On My Love" is staying.

I wonder like, who's the crowd?

Who's the person who goes,

"Let's go and see Kygo"?

Because it's not really like...

untz untz untz.

It's kind of like,

"Let's go to the beach."

All righty!

[Zara humming]

I don't have a big live audience here.

I haven't toured that much in the US.

But I think Kygo and I have

pretty much the same audience.

That's what you want to do

when you're opening for someone,

to steal that person's audience.

I hope they'll just be like,

"Oh, what a nice show."

You have to kind of just do it.

Er

I think.

I'm just telling it like it is

I'm just telling it, telling it

[Kalli] That particular song, I said

it has to be in the first 30 minutes.

They came back with 38 minutes.

It's hard to argue with eight minutes.

It sounds so petty.

- Okay.

- So that's where that is.

And you're also sound checking that first.

Okay, let me listen to it,

actually, a couple of times.

Because I haven't...

You know I'm bad with lyrics.

[Kalli] I wonder if we should put

the lyrics up with your set list in front.

I've noticed when you mess up lyrics,

you just go confidently.

You just go for it.

[Zara sings nonsense lyrics]

Then I grew to be a fire

I'm a fire and I'm comin' fire

[audience cheering]

It ain't my fault

You came in lookin' like that

You just made me trip, fall

And land on your lap

Certain bad boy smooth

Body hotter than the sun

I don't wanna be rude

But I'd look so good on ya

Go

[Zara] I mean, opening for Kygo,

his stage was not meant

to have any sort of dancers on it.

[It Ain't My Fault playing]

It was just like, "Hey..."

I don't know.

Like...

Being an opener... An opener's an opener.

Yeah.

[woman]

I didn't count on sound check tomorrow.

You don't want sound check

on the other days either?

Hello?

Girl, you just got to give me

some more energy.

- Can you feel it?

- Yeah, I think so.

[music from the concert

playing from her phone]

[background chatter]

[gentle background music playing]

[car traffic]

[Zara] How are you?

I have a bit of a headache.

You're just going for it

and just cooking your food.

- Yes, unfortunately.

- Me too. I cooked my own food too.

You cooked your own food today, too?

You're joking? You were joking.

- Yeah.

- You were joking.

- I'm joking.

- No.

- Yeah, I was.

- Oh, Zara!

Yuck! God, I look tired.

I fell asleep at 5:00 last night

because I was looking at dresses

that I'm never going to buy.

Really?

Yeah, I was lying there, thinking,

"Oh, this 88,000 one is nice."

Yeah.

I was lying there scrolling

for like two and a half hours.

I'm f*cking crazy.

Try and stop me. You know what I'm saying?

[Zara] When I'm not working,

it has definitely happened that I just

don't step outside my apartment at all.

Barely my bedroom.

If I lay in the bed

and I don't do anything,

and I don't get up

and I don't start my day,

I get anxious.

I start scrolling. I start...

thinking about myself.

Because I'm like, "What am I doing?

Why do I feel like this?"

And then I'm like... ugh.

And then I do the same thing next day,

and then I feel even worse.

When I don't feel like

I have somewhere to go,

that's just not good for me.

[calm guitar music playing]

Growing up, I was dancing,

I was moving all the time.

It made me a lot calmer.

And these days when I'm not on tour,

where I don't dance every day,

I get more still,

and the more still I get,

the more anxious I become.

It's so, so easy to be hard on yourself

and compare yourself to others,

and to feel like

I wasn't good enough,

or I could have done that better.

I used to be a lot more like that.

Then my mom would tell me,

"If you don't feel like this is fun,"

I won't allow you to do it.

"You can't do it anymore."

But then I love to sing.

I love to use my voice,

and I love to make music.

And that's where it all ends up.

[calm guitar music playing]

[Zara rapping]

- They call us in the next two weeks

- Hey, hey, hey, hey

Let's send the address

Go, please

SUV, the outside white

Inside brown

[Zara] I love being with my crew

and my band and my dancers.

[people cheering and laughing]

It's joy, it's happiness.

[pop music playing loudly]

IN THE FALL OF 2024, ZARA GOES

ON A HEADLINER TOUR IN THE US

It's the most confident I ever feel.

I know what I'm doing when I sing.

And I know what I'm doing

when I'm performing.

And I feel like

it's the way it's supposed to be.

["Ooii" by Amy Caddies McKnight

and others playing]

[man on radio] It's unfortunate that the

only people that will succeed in politics

are the most outrageous.

And I do think, obviously, there is

a massive amount of misogyny in America.

Look at the f*cking ab*rtion situation.

And I think for the margin vote

that won Trump the election,

they don't think that the women's issues

that Kamala was betting on

were as important as the other issues

that are plaguing our country.

Which is why

they probably reluctantly voted for Trump.

[Elon Musk] This is the kind of positive

energy that America is all about.

USA.

- USA.

- USA.

USA. USA.

USA?

[both laugh]

So bad.

- Shout out.

- Shout out.

Yeah, man, I...

I guess somehow it's like...

everyone has the ability

to influence people

or be an educator of some sort.

You're considering speaking on it?

[Zara sighs]

I don't know.

I can't lose... I have too many shows.

And not enough sleep.

I'm dead-a*s serious.

I just can't be up all night

replying to angry people

and getting anxious about the world

and the state the world is in.

[audience applauding and cheering]

[Can't Tame Her playing]

You can't tame her

Put your hands up one more time!

So if she wanna party all night

All night

No, you can't tame her, no

And you can't tie her down

When the night comes around

Said she gonna party

All night, all night

And you can't change her

Can't blame her, can't tame her

[audience cheering]

Thank you so much!

Of course,

I got my ladies with me on stage.

I love to be up here and just feel

female power. You know what I mean?

A woman should be running the country

right now, but it is what the f*ck it is.

Speaking on that,

I wanna say one thing really quick.

We have this little jar going on.

It's a small thing.

It's by the merch stand, and if

you have an extra dollar in your pocket

that you could give to support

making sure that ab*rtion

are safe and legal in every state

that's not as beautiful

and open-minded as New York.

Whoever is running the country,

you can still show up for your community,

your neighbors, and your people.

Thank you for being here.

It really means a lot, and we're gonna

continue to have the best time!

[audience cheering]

I feel so happy

Happy that I'm free

And I can see things

Things I couldn't see

But I can't fall in love without you

Mmm Hey, yeah

So please, don't fall in love

Don't you fall in love

Don't fall in love

Oh, don't fall in love

Please, don't fall in love

Don't fall in love

So please, don't fall in love

Without me

Yeah

Don't fall in love

Don't fall in love

Don't fall in love

Oh, oh

Yeah, yeah

[audience cheering]

Thank you so much.

[audience continues to cheer]

[gentle background music playing]

[Hanna] So this is your house.

Okay! Exciting!

Whoo!

SISTER

- I like the color.

- Yes, really.

- [Zara] It's bright, but it's not white.

- No.

- This is the sunbathing area.

- This is for sunbathing.

[Zara] Mm.

- [Zara] We'll be cooking here.

- [Hanna] God.

[Zara] This is where

I'll be sitting on my bar stool.

- And watch you cook.

- [Hanna] Exactly.

[Lamin] This turned out great.

- It looks great, honey!

- [Zara] Wow.

Imagine what it looked like a few months

ago. It looks great. This is awesome.

Look at the light.

The armchair here.

[quiet background chat]

[gentle background music playing]

[Zara] Don't you think

I'm a better person now?

Yes, absolutely.

I think you...

Do you think I'm the best person

in the world now?

- Almost.

- Who's the best?

Who's better?

You're a great person.

I love you more than anything.

- But you said "almost."

- I don't think you can be the best person.

- You can.

- Maybe you can be for me, but...

[Zara] Am I the best person

in the world for you?

[Hanna] I think you've matured.

[Zara] Yeah, and I haven't

really felt that until now.

I think it's just that your brain has...

Like you said.

- The moon and the years.

- The moon and the years.

And another planet.

- Saturn.

- That's been buzzing.

- Saturn.

- Is that right? [Laughs]

Yes.

That's the way it is.

At 27. That's what they say.

- Now, Saturn has gone all the way.

- That's right.

And now, I'm an adult.

[Hanna] Mm.

That's so f*cked up.

Mm.

How does it feel?

[gentle piano music playing]

It comes back

to where it was when you were born.

Your Saturn's returned. At 27, you've...

You've felt it. It changes you.

- You feel old.

- It's like, "I'm a grown-up."

Exactly.

Yeah.

And when you've been

doing one thing forever...

- Yes.

- Like I've been doing music.

It does makes me wonder, like, okay...

Is there anything more to me?

- You know what I mean?

- There probably is.

Yeah.

The more you learn,

the more that enters my head,

- the more mysterious it gets.

- Yeah.

Or like, the more I experience...

The more I experience

The more mysterious it gets, mm

[Kalli] Hydrate.

[Zara sings notes]

- I love that.

- Yeah, so beautiful.

What if we all come in?

And it feels so good

Yeah. Just a bit.

And it

Maybe. That's nice.

And it feels so good

Oh, I don't know what I'm doing

[music continues to play]

Could be wrong, could be right

But this song

Is mine

- Zara, lead voice.

- I...

I tried to control

All that is unknown

[Zara] I've put a lot of energy and effort

into finding this.

And maybe...

Maybe people

who are listening to this album...

I'm wondering

if they will hear a difference,

or if it just feels so different for me.

I like your playlist, boy

Turn it up a little louder

Road's empty

So you drive a little faster

Ain't taken nothing tonight

But I'm feeling so high

It's the midnight sun

Kissed skin under the red sky

Laying on your chest like this

Hold me like the pebbles in your hand

Initials in the sand

Yeah, summer isn't over yet

Skinny-dipping with your heart out

It's my favorite part

Now we ain't gotta tell no one

A never ending midnight sun

That's why he loves you.

A never ending midnight sun

Wow!

I feel like we're on a journey.

Like, where will

the magical tour bus go next?

That's like a sensation.

- It's like an experience.

- I've never heard a song like that.

- It's so crazy.

- In my whole life.

It's so beautiful.

It's like being in a whirlpool

or something. It's so crazy.

- [Zara] It's so f*cking crazy.

- [Kalli] Wow!

[Zara] I almost feel like a single tear

is going to roll down my face.

- Wow. That is so incredible.

- Yeah.

Do you think if I leave at 6:00

to catch a flight that leaves at 9:00...

Tomorrow?

- Isn't there a car booked?

- Yeah, for 6:00.

I'm saying crazy stuff now.

I'm saying, "Will I make it?"

[laughs]

You guys recorded that, right?

'Cause we're going to need to...

If there's one argument that me

and Zara have consistently forever,

it's how long it takes

to get to the airport.

What time you should be there

before a flight to not miss your flight.

Yeah.

- So this...

- Look at me!

She's growing up.

[Zara] But what do I say, then?

[Lamin] Say, like...

"I feel like this album shows

how multifaceted I am, but also life."

Go in with confidence.

You know what?

You do you, baby.

[Kalli] No one has a crystal ball.

And every time an artist

puts themselves out there into the world,

there is a risk that the dream they have

or the heights they wish to reach

won't happen.

- [man] Hi, everybody.

- Hi!

Okay.

[Zara] Shall we just, boom, get into it?

[woman laughing]

[Zara] Erm

- I'm excited for you guys to hear it.

- [man] We are too.

Let's get it.

Live the American dream

With billboards picturing me

My name on Hollywood Boulevard

But that's the thing

with the ambition

I want it so much

Everything's a competition

So out of touch

Yeah, it got me a lot

But that's not good enough

I wanna be lo-lo-loved

I live and learn the hard way

Have you ever seen a pretty girl

Get ugly like this

Messy like this

Losing her sh*t

Everybody's telling me

To sit there and look pretty

But I'm feeling like I wanna

Cause some trouble in the city tonight

f*ck the ladylike

More like crazy like

Flippin' tables at the bar

Turn the beat up, make it hard

Wanna take it too far

Ain't afraid tonight

f*ck the ladylike

More like crazy-like

Yeah, summer isn't over yet

Skinny-dipping with your heart out

Is my favorite part

Now, we ain't gotta tell no one

A never ending midnight sun

A never ending midnight sun

A never ending midnight sun

[applause and cheering]

[Sylvia]

Thank you for delivering your album.

We've been waiting on this

a long time, lady.

- And it's... Huh?

- It's only a year.

- A year?

- [Zara] But this one's special.

- I know.

- It feels incredible.

I'm so proud and happy

and excited about everything.

- [woman] It sounds incredible.

- [Sylvia] It sounds amazing.

- Thank you, Sylvia.

- [man] Zara...

- You k*lled it.

- Yeah.

[Zara] I've been struggling a bit to put

my personality into the songs I'm singing.

But I feel like on this project...

- It came together.

- It came together.

[woman] It sounds like it's

having a conversation with you.

The songs sound like... The first one,

I was like, "She's said this sh*t before."

It's upbeat, and it's promising.

It's so you.

- Yeah.

- I absolutely love it.

[Zara] Thank you.

I remember a few years ago...

when I was just a bit lost,

and I was looking so much out, out, out.

"What do I want? Who am I?"

I just didn't know

what I wanted it to sound like.

- Yeah.

- But... It just took a little...

You know.

[man] It's always refreshing

to hear your stuff.

You somehow reinvent yourself.

I felt like we found something

very special and amazing.

- You did. You're bringing it, for real.

- Yes.

- Yeah.

- [Zara] I hope so.

I feel like this year's gonna be good.

I'm ready.

All right, I'll leave you. Get to work.

[laughter]

Get to work.

- Love you guys.

- Love you too.

Love you.

- I'll talk to you later.

- [all] Bye!

[Zara] I'll see you soon. Let's do dinner.

Wait a minute.

- Fantastic.

- So exciting.

[Zara] This album, hopefully, will be a

success. And then I'll make another one.

And it'll be a success.

If it isn't a success, then I will make

a f*cking album until it's a success.

[gentle piano music]

I'm getting spiritual.

I also get more and more sensitive

as I get older.

And now, I feel like I can be...

I don't need to have a hard shell.

So maybe I just...

It moves me.

Oh

I'm thinking about..

I'm thinking about how lucky I am in life.

That I get to be here,

that I get to do what I do.

That I was born in Sweden.

That I have my family.
