She told Capital FM, “It’s the sense of being free from responsibilities and the mundane things. Just to go out in nature and literally touch grass, see a beautiful cloud, watch a beautiful sunset, all of those things. I feel like I really captured the feeling of what that is to me in the song. It’s melodic, it’s fun, it’s very dancey, it’s pop. It’s just all the things that I love right now. If I was a song, I would probably be ‘Midnight Sun.’”
The catchy song has led to a dance trend on TikTok!
“It’s the midnight sun-kissed skin under the red sky / Layin’ 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,” Zara sings on the track.
