Zara Larsson is looking back at the "weird" moves she made as a teen.
During an appearance on the April 22 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Larsson recounted some of her "messy" teen shenanigans to host Alex Cooper, including the time she kissed her best friend's boyfriend when she was 16 years old, an incident that inspired the original version of her song "Girl's Girl" from her 2025 album Midnight Sun, per People.
The Swedish pop star, 28, explained that the boyfriend had been flirting with her all night at a New Year's Eve party and as she was preparing to leave, he started to kiss her. Even though she had no interest in him and was instead into his friend, she kissed him back.
"I just kissed him back because I was messy like that," she said. "And I was 16 and really drunk."
However, Larsson explained that news of the kiss quickly made its way to her friend.
"The f---ed up thing about this though, was that the girl whose [house] we had had the party at, she filmed this, and I didn't know. So before I got the chance to tell my friend what happened the next day, she had already got the video sent to her," she said, revealing that there were immediate consequences in her friend group. "But obviously seeing [the video], she just cut me off, and all my friends just cut me off, and I was just like a floating piece of trash in the universe."
Larsson, who said that her friend didn't talk to her for four years, admitted that she wasn't even "interested" in the guy and it was just a "weird, unforgivable mistake that happened."
Larsson is preparing to release her remix album Midnight Sun: Girls Trip, featuring collaborations with artists like PinkPantheress, Robyn, Shakira and more. The album drops May 1.
