“Saturn’s Return” is a centerpiece of Zara Larsson’s Midnight Sun (2025), channeling the astrological concept of Saturn’s return—the turbulent life transition that typically occurs in one’s late twenties. Through shimmering synths and a spacious pop production, Larsson reflects on change, uncertaint...
[Verse 1]
Made my decisions
But that don't mean I have to live with them
My leaves are changing
And roots grow deeper than I understand
[Pre-Chorus]
The more I experience, the more mysterious it gets
Better let it unfold
'Cause I'm not young enough to know everything
Anymore, anymore
[Chorus]
And it feels so good to know I don't know what I'm doing
And I love that I'm free in my naivety, I won't lose it
Could be wrong, could be right
But this song is mine
[Verse 2]
I tried to control all that was unknown
'Cause I was scared
Thought I could grow out of uncertainty
But instead I grew not to care (Not to care)
[Pre-Chorus]
The more I experience, the more mysterious it gets
Better let it unfold ('Cause I'm not young enough)
'Cause I'm not young enough to know everything
Anymore (Anymore), anymore (Anymore)
[Chorus]
And it feels so good to know I don't know what I'm doing
(And I just feel so good, feel so good)
And I love that I'm free in my naivety, I won't lose it
(And I just feel so good, feel so good)
Could be wrong (Could be wrong), could be right (Could be right)
But this song is mine
[Bridge]
When I was seventeen, I didn't have no patience
Said by twenty, I'd be fillin' up stadiums
Didn't happen, so I changed the deadline
Might take another twenty years and that's fine
Ain't the concept of time so crazy
We were just kids, now my friends are having babies
Got me thinking like, I want that too
Damn, that's new
[Chorus]
And it feels so good to know I don't know what I'm doing
(And I just feel so good) Yeah (feel so good)
And I love that I'm free in my naivety, I won't lose it
(And I just feel so good, feel so good)
Could be wrong (Could be wrong), could be right (Could be right)
But this song is mine
Saturn’s Return was written by Zara Larsson & MNEK & Helena Gao & Zhone & Margo XS.

People say ‘Saturn’s return’ is when the planet Saturn returns to where it was when you were born, which is approximately 27 years. And that’s when you enter real adulthood. And I really felt that shift. I felt like, ‘Oh, I’ve always been quite reckless, irresponsible — done weird decisions.’ And no...
