Zara Maria Larsson, a Swedish pop singer, was born on December 16, 1997, in Solna, Stockholm. She rose to fame at the age of 10 when she won the Swedish talent show Talang in 2008. Following her victory, Larsson released her debut single, a cover of "My Heart Will Go On," which achieved chart success in Sweden. She later appeared on the TV program Sommarkrysset and participated in the reality series Jag ska bli stjärna in pursuit of an international music career. Managed by Laila Bagge, Larsson traveled to Los Angeles to meet with major record labels, including Universal Music Group, Sony Music, and Warner Music Group. However, due to her young age at the time, she did not secure a contract offer.
In 2012, Larsson signed with TEN Music Group and released her debut EP, Introducing, in 2013. The EP featured her breakthrough single "Uncover," which reached number one in Sweden and Norway and achieved platinum certification.
