Zara Larsson Is Just Fine After A Breakup On 'Don't Worry About Me'

Immediately following the brain freezes accompanying those ice cream nights on the couch following a breakup comes being at peace – at peace with the scenario and being at peace with one's self for the outcome. The end of a relationship brings tears, hoarseness from yelling into one's pillow, and envy for those without a splitting heart. Zara Larsson's latest is designed to take the suffering party out of that defeated mindset and thrust them forward into peace, especially if it's the other person is the one to blame. "Don't Worry About Me" takes pride in one's self-worth and is an exhilarating, electric next chapter for healing and moving on.


This is the sort of smooth, sexy pop that pokes and prods the unwilling to dance, then leads them to the floor for a rousing routine. Larsson's voice is buttery smooth and confident. She's the damsel in distress on "Don't Worry About Me," put into a precarious breakup by her could be savior. Nevertheless here, she takes her power from her liberator and casts them because the villain. "Why do you do that to me?/Unfair how right after we done, then you care," she sings. Her voice isn't quivering and she doesn't sound uncertain. As she waxes softly, the extent of her partner's idiocy is revealed. It's also late to worry about what Larsson's doing, who she's seeing, or where she's been hanging out. She's good. Bug off.


Larrson's latest follows "Ruin My Life" that hit the Billboard Hot 100 in January. The singer will be supporting Ed Sheeran while in the European leg of his 2019 tour.
