The second single released by Zara Larsson was her biggest hit in europe before 'Never Forget You', 'Uncover'. 'Uncover' was actually entered into BJSC, where it successfully managed to win and it was the single that actually introduced me to Zara Larsson. "Uncover" is a song by Swedish singer Zara Larsson from her debut extended play, Introducing (2013). The song was released on 21 January 2013. It was written by Marcus Sepehrmanesh, Robert Habolin and Gavin Jones and it was produced by Habolin. It initially charted on DigiListan charts, SR P3 charts for downloads on 27 January 2013 and eventually charted on Sverigetopplistan, the official Swedish Singles Chart on 22 February 2013 becoming number one. The single also charted in Norway reaching number one as well. In July 2013, the song was certified sextuple platinum in Sweden by Universal Music Sweden. "Uncover" was also featured on Larsson's Scandinavian debut studio album, 1 (2014) and her international debut extended play, Uncover (2015).

'Uncover' will always remain one of my favourite Zara tracks and it surprised me to see it not included in her debut international album considering how well it's managed to hang around on UK iTunes.

'Uncover' is easily my favourite Zara song pre-So Good, it's absolutely stunning I actually first heard it before any other Zara song when I was randomly reading a thread of BJSC winners (yes I had an exciting life two years ago ;o) and I can't remember properly but I think it was just before Never Forget You came out!! I've had a bit of a 'moment' with it tonight after Lee played it on plug last night and I hadn't listened to it for like six months

i'm not so into this song, but i know its fan favorite and it has served its purpose to show Zara to the world.

'Uncover' deserves so much more recognition worldwide. I would love this to be her 'Skyscraper' / 'Piece by Piece' and get performed on the X Factor to give it a massive chart boost. It deserves to be known everywhere!

I agree.

It's weird how it was randomly pushed in France though with a new music video, its her biggest hit in France, excluding 'This Ones For You'!

'Uncover' has got over 100m streams on Spotify which is really hard without a push in the UK/US/Australia and for any song on Spotify that was released pre-2014/15. An X Factor performance would be amazing! For some reason I can imagine Dami doing it *.*
