PinkPantheress has teamed up with Willow for a new collaborative single called ‘Where You Are’ – you can listen to it below.
The breezy and atmospheric track was co-produced by PinkPantheress alongside Mura Masa and Skrillex. “Now my life’s a downward spiral, got my broken heart…” Willow sings at one point.
‘Where You Are’ samples Paramore’s ‘Never Let This Go’, which appears on the Hayley Williams-fronted band’s 2005 debut album, ‘All We Know Is Falling’. Williams and co. have been given a co-writing credit on the song.
PinkPantheress teased a snippet of the single on TikTok back in January, writing: “da collaboration I dreamt of for years. brb crying”.
PinkPantheress was crowned the winner of BBC Radio 1’s Sound Of 2022 earlier this year, beating the likes of Wet Leg, Yard Act and Baby Queen to the coveted title.
“I’m honestly gassed, my dad’s going to be so happy!” she told the BBC of her victory. “I had self-belief from the beginning but when other people start telling you stuff like this, it genuinely keeps you going.”
PinkPantheress released her debut mixtape, ‘To Hell With It’, in October 2021.
She told fans previously that they can “expect a feature or two” as part of her output this year. “I’ve been a bit of a lone wolf so far, but I’ve been really trying to get into my collaboration bag,” the singer said. “That’s the thing I’m most excited for.”
Her next team-up is presumably with Beabadoobee, who revealed last month that PinkPantheress will appear on her forthcoming second album, ‘Beatopia’, which comes out on July 15.
“You know it’s a fun little thing,” Bea explained. “I feel like this whole record is to do with friendships and appreciating the people around you so I wanted to get all my friends involved.”
PinkPantheress is scheduled to perform at Parklife in Manchester and Reading & Leeds this summer.
Willow, meanwhile, released her fourth record ‘Lately I Feel Everything’ last July.
