Ahead of her fourth studio album, Venus, Zara Larsson announced a holiday-themed EP titled Honor the Light.^[1] The EP was released on 1 December 2023 via Sommer House and Epic Records. Two tracks, "Memory Lane"^[2] and "Winter Song",^[3] were pre-released on 24 November.^[4] The EP includes six songs, including Swedish-language tracks such as "Tänd Ett Ljus" and "Sankta Lucia".^[1] On 6 December 2023, "Silent Night" was sent to radio station, serving as the third single.^[5]

"Memory Lane" is an original song co-created with Swedish folk-pop duo First Aid Kit. Their vocals previously appeared on an alternate version of "I Need Love" from Larsson's Poster Girl (2021). In this track, the trio crafts a nostalgic yet uplifting ode to the streets of Stockholm, blending past and present in a lyrical winter stroll. The lyrics express gratitude toward one's former self—the person who endured and grew, making the current self possible. "Winter Song" is a tender reinterpretation of the seasonal classic by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson. Alongside this cover, the EP includes songs rooted in Swedish Lucia traditions as well as renditions of more widely recognized Christmas carols. Each track was designed to align with the three-part Honor the Light concert series planned for December 2025, where Larsson will also perform acoustic versions of songs from her past discography in a more intimate, unplugged style.^[6]

All tracks were produced by Act Social.
