The same year she signed with the American label Epic Records, launching her international career.

In 2016 Larsson was invited to sing "This One's for You", the official song of UEFA Euro 2016, with French DJ David Guetta, and performed at the tournament's opening and closing ceremonies. In March 2017 she released her first international studio album, So Good, which reached number seven on the UK Albums Chart and became a major worldwide success. It features many of her best-known songs, including "Lush Life", "Never Forget You", "Ain't My Fault" and the chart-topping Clean Bandit collaboration "Symphony".

Larsson has won several Grammis (Sweden's equivalent of the Grammys), GAFFA Awards and MTV Europe Music Awards, and is one of the most internationally recognized and influential young singers in contemporary Swedish pop.
