PinkPantheress continues to prove herself as one of the UK’s most exciting electro-pop talents with her new single, “Stateside.” Known for her ability to blend catchy beats with deeply personal narratives, the “Tonight” singer takes a more introspective turn on this track, exploring themes of long-distance love and emotional growth.
On “Stateside,” PinkPantheress sings about the frustration and longing of maintaining a relationship despite geographical distance. “It’s freezing outside / I feel my skin tight / My coat is inside, but I look up at you,” she croons, capturing the warmth of love that cuts through physical separation. The song’s infectious rhythm will surely have listeners dancing, but it’s the vulnerability behind the lyrics that makes it stand out.
Unlike her breakout hit “Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2,” “Stateside” reveals a softer side of PinkPantheress—one that’s just as potent but with a focus on her emotional evolution as an artist. She’s no longer just a voice in the crowd but a confident creator who’s ready to share her deeper self. The track is a collaboration with The Dare, aksel arvid, and Count Baldor, and together they craft a sound that’s both personal and universally relatable.
In a statement, PinkPantheress shared her excitement about the track: “So excited to share with you my favorite song off of the project, ‘Stateside.’ It explores my growth as an artist and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as me.” With “Stateside,” she succeeds in giving listeners a glimpse into her evolving artistry while keeping her signature style intact.
As PinkPantheress gears up for the release of her album Fancy on May 9, “Stateside” is a promising preview of what’s to come. The track not only confirms her place as a rising star in the electro-pop world but also highlights her ability to capture the universal experience of love, distance, and personal transformation.
