Zara Larsson has signed with RCA Records, a source confirmed with Billboard. The singer-songwriter was previously with Epic Records, her label home for more than a decade.
The signing was first reported by Hits Daily Double.
Larsson, a native of Sweden, has released a total of five studio albums, including her debut, 1, in 2014 when she was just 16. But she scored a major breakout beginning last fall, when her verse on the remix of PinkPantheress’ “Stateside” caught fire and eventually landed at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200.
Meanwhile, her 2016 single “Lush Life” went viral on TikTok, pushing the song back onto the Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 35. The renewed interest around the singer’s catalog pushed “Midnight Sun,” the title track from her 2025 album, into the upper reaches of the Hot 100, where it hit a new peak of No. 19 on the chart dated July 4. Last month, the song also landed at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Pop Airplay chart, where it has remained for 23 weeks.
In the wake of this burst of success, Larsson was named Billboard‘s Women in Music Breakthrough for 2026.
“I think this year cemented me as not only a girl with popular songs,” Larsson said in an April interview with Billboard, “but a girl worth talking about in pop culture.”
Larsson released the remix album Midnight Sun: Girls Trip in May.
RCA did not immediately respond to a request for comment/confirmation on the signing.
