"She Did It Again" is a song by South African singer Tyla featuring Swedish singer Zara Larsson. Released on 17 April 2026, it serves as the second single from Tyla's upcoming second studio album, A*Pop.
Background and release
"She Did It Again" was initially teased on Tyla's Instagram in February, after she posted a snippet of the beginnings of the song.[1] On 8 April, she shared a teaser for "She Did It Again" on Instagram, featuring a guest artist in a pink wig whose identity was initially hidden.[2] On 15 April, Tyla revealed that the collaborator was Swedish singer Zara Larsson.[3][4][5] The song was written by the two singers with the collaboration on writing and producing by Sammy Soso, Ari PenSmith and Corey Marlon Lindsay-Keay.[6][7]
In an interview with Vanity Fair that same month, Larsson revealed that she heard the song "the night [Tyla] posted the snippet on Instagram", describing her reaction as being "damn, I wish I was on this". In the same interview, Tyla explained that they both went to the studio and played each other their respective music, after which she asked Larsson to be on the track. She explained that the intention with the song was to keep things "sexy, light, and fun", and that collaborating with Larsson "pushes the song further into pop territory without losing what I wanted it to feel like".[8]
Music video
The music video for the song was released simultaneously with the release of the song on Tyla's YouTube channel.[9] Critics likened the choreography and aesthetics of the music video to that of the 2007 single "Beautiful Liar" by singers Beyoncé and Shakira.[10][11][12][7]
