Background and promotion
Prior to the release of her fifth studio album, Midnight Sun (2025), Larsson had limited presence on the US Billboard Hot 100. However, following opening for Tate McRae's Miss Possessive Tour and embarking on the Midnight Sun Tour, she gained traction online and increased attention to her newer material. Several of her songs charted on the listing; "Midnight Sun" peaked at number 39, while "Stateside", a collaboration with English singer PinkPantheress from her own remix album Fancy Some More?, reached the top ten. Her 2015 single "Lush Life" also re-entered the chart and peaked at number 35.[1]
After the commercial success of Midnight Sun, Larsson began teasing a deluxe edition in April 2026, titled Girls Trip.[2][3] She also collaborated with South African singer Tyla on "She Did It Again" and performed "Midnight Sun" during PinkPantheress' set at Coachella.[4][5] On 19 April, Larsson confirmed its title and cover artwork.[6] Three days later, she revealed the all female guest list featured in Girls Trip, such as Robyn, PinkPantheress, Shakira, Kehlani, Madison Beer, and among others.[7][4] Larsson attended iHeartRadio's listening party on 30 April, in support of the album. She previewed Girls Trip, which her fans could hear part of the album prior to its release.[8] The album is composed of two discs, which include original track list of Midnight Sun.[9]
Critical reception
Some outlets compared the way Larsson released Girls Trip to how English singers Charli XCX and PinkPantheress have released their remix albums.[10][11] Allie Gregory from Exclaim! praised the remix album, saying it "expands and improves upon its source material" and calling the title track, "Blue Moon" and "Eurosummer" remixes as standouts.[12] Pitchfork praised the title track's remix and named it Best New Track upon its release.[13] The Fader highlighted the "Saturn's Return" remix, stating: "The remix has a moving, existential dreaminess, evoking Madonna's Ray of Light's psychedelic sunniness."[14]
