This marks Zara’s first release of 2020 and it’s co-written with Justin Tranter and Julia Michaels. Zara says, “The song is about accidentally falling in love but owning it, and I think that combines two things I love and do well – female empowerment and pop bangers! At the moment, we’re all experiencing this scary unknown world and having to endure some hard realities; I hope this can provide a little escapism for everyone, because sometimes dancing can solve everything, even just for a moment.” “Love Me Land” will be featured on Zara’s upcoming second international album.
