We've seen Zara Larsson do a lot, but we've never seen the Pop star get "ugly like this," as she lets it rip on her new single, "Pretty Ugly."

Zara is back in the building with us at the Hard Rock Hotel New York to talk about the new song, and her upcoming spot on Tate McRae's Miss Possessive Tour later this year during an all new Audacy Check In with host Mike Adam.

Larsson blasted back on to the scene last week with "Pretty Ugly," and she's having fun with the muddy video and mischievous marketing. "It was just me wanting to be a little, I don't know if silly is the right word, but I'm not a very serious person," Zara shares. "I think this song has an element of fun to it. And, I spend a lot of time online. I am just a part of the internet culture. I love what happened to 'Symphony.' I just I have a lot of screen time. So, we did a Coachella billboard, which was like a bit cheeky and fun. Just the imagery of fun and not taking myself too serious. I feel like it's the vibe."

The fun of "Pretty Ugly" is a preview of Larsson's upcoming project, but according to the singer it only tells part of the story. "I feel like I have so much to say and I have a lot of personality that has been hard to repackage into a song, but with this making of this album, I just was hanging out with a small group of people, And they really get me."

"So it's like hanging out with friends. It's fun, it's upbeat, it's exciting... but then there's also the side of me that's vulnerable, sometimes scared of things, has a lot of ambition, feeling like I'm working hard but I'm being let down, or feel like, stuff that I really don't really talk about openly."

It all adds up to a new chapter for Zara, one that she can't wait to take on the road with Tate McRae. "It will be a lot of energy and a lot more dancing, hopefully."

"She worked so hard," she says of her upcoming tourmate, Tate McRae. "And I'm really excited to get to know her, get to see her show every night because she's so young... [but] like she's giving me mature."

"I'm also really loving that she seemed to really find her own thing, and I love that she has incorporated more dancing because I feel like she didn't really do that before, at least not like live, and no one can do it like her."
