Larsson: "If you love attention and have a pretty decent voice, that's a pretty good combination."
Larsson: "I think my thing is that... I don't know. And that's why I don't wanna sing about 'This is me, this is who I am' because, like, even the question, 'Tell me about yourself' - what are you supposed to say? 'Ooh, I'm a happy girl, but I'm sad, too'? People are so complex."
Larsson: "I'm not even close to where I want to be; it's just a little mini step on the way. This is only the beginning."
Larsson: "Mostly, I just write about feelings that people can relate to. Because, yeah, I don't know who I am, and this is not my sound forever... I'm a human, so hopefully, I will always develop."
Larsson: "I work so hard, but... everything just goes my way! It's insane!"
Larsson: "I'm just waiting for the day when my songs aren't flying. Because I kind of believe in Murphy's law - if something can go wrong, it eventually will."
Larsson: “What I think it more comes down to is, I get anxious sometimes because I find myself looking for that external validation from people that I don't know in real life. But then that's also partly why I do what I do, I think. I think every pop star or person that really wants to be in the spotlight wants attention and appreciation.”
Larsson: "Everybody wants attention, more or less. I just want a lot."
Larsson: "That's absolutely one of my main goals, to have a number one on Billboard. That's a big thing for me. That means people are buying and listening to your music."
Larsson: "Sweden will always be my home, since my childhood there was like a fairytale, so I'll always go back to it."
Larsson: "I don't really have a type. I don't want to be a cliche. But personality is a big thing for me. You can find cute guys all over. But he's got to have some sort of sense of humor, which is so hard to find in a guy. He's got to be a bit smart."
Larsson: "I do pop, so pop is very broad. It could be anything from The Weeknd to Taylor Swift to Beyoncé to whatever is on the radio, basically."
Larsson: “I don't know where that comes from, because my parents gave me a lot of attention when I was younger. But I think I have this constant need of being validated. Because I do have an idea of who I am in my head - and that's a good person who's talented - but I still feel like I seek out that confirmation a lot, just so that I know that the idea that I have of myself is true.”
Larsson: “I mean, sometimes I want to be like Frank Ocean and not say a word, but then sometimes I'm like, no, I want to be like Doja Cat, and just upload random shit and have fun with it, because it's not that serious. I do think that [an artist like] Doja Cat resonates more with our generation, because it feels like you’re supporting your friend in a way; you know their energy and you know what they stand for. Pop stars shine bright in a very different way these days to what they did back in the day. That relatability is very important, I think.”
Larsson: “You know, I really wanna write pop bangers [which are] uplifting women’s anthems, but I’ve tried so many times and it’s so hard to not make it super-cheesy. I think I’ve tried like 10 times to make a feminist anthem. But I’m gonna keep trying and I will do it. I will start to incorporate my views on the world into my songs a bit more. But right now, I guess a lot of my songs are about love and relationships.”
Larsson: "Some people can't sing - like honestly - but they're famous anyway, and they might be famous for being an artist, which is completely different from being a singer."
Larsson: "It's very, very important to wash off makeup. Like, really wash it off - I used to be really bad and leave some on when I would go to bed, but it's so important to get it all off."
Larsson: "I have some friends, and they're super-hipster. And they're like, 'All I wanna do is sing in a jazz bar and to just make it to pay for the rent.' And I'm like, 'Cool... That's not what I wanna do. I want as many people as possible to go to my concert.'"
Larsson: "For me, it's actually really hard to write about my real experience. Like to do a Taylor Swift. You know what I mean? It's so brave to actually write about things that happened and things you wanna get off your chest, but I'm not really there yet."
Larsson: “It’s the reason we’re all alive and for me; it’s the whole point for our existence. I’m the sort of person who falls in love with people in, like, four seconds. It’s just a really big part of who I am.”
Larsson: “I just think of it as a collection of really good pop songs, and yeah, most of them just happen to be about the emotions you would feel when you break up with someone or you meet someone new. And that’s because those are the things that I find most interesting in life.”
Larsson: "I wear jewellery that I never take off. I have a ring and two necklaces. I always have them on and get scared when I have to take them off for photo shoots. The ring is my mum's mum's mum's, and she gave it to me for my 18th birthday. The necklace is the same one that my sister has. She's called Hannah, and the name is the chain."
Larsson: "I love to go all out - once I start doing my makeup, I kind of tend to do a lot of it. So like foundation, contour, highlight, eyeliner, shadow, lashes, lipstick - everything! But I really, really love my contours."
