"Rooftop" is a song by Swedish singer Zara Larsson. It was released on 15 September 2014 through TEN Music Group and Epic Records as the third single from her debut album 1 (2014).[1] The song also features on Larsson's third extended play Uncover (2015). The song peaked at number six in Sweden, and was certified Platinum by the GLF.[2][3]

Composition

Scandipop describes the track as distinctive for its seamless blending of two genres. At its core, it is a classic R&B song, but it has been produced as an electro track—and done exceptionally well. The review notes that it essentially sounds like both a 2014 Robyn song and a 1998 Robyn song at the same time.[4]

Music video

A music video for "Rooftop" was released on 26 September 2014, directed by Måns Nyman.[5]
