From the global success of “Boy’s a liar Pt. 2” to her standout feature on the Barbie soundtrack, PinkPantheress sits comfortably as the princess of Gen Z pop. Her latest drop “Mosquito” does not stray from her signature formula—a catastrophic love song masked by a bubblegum pop blanket.

It’s always a feat to behold the pain within PinkPantheress’ songs, since the fun that she’s having screams so much louder. Her music is infectious and blissfully youthful, despite the emotionally mature themes she bears her heart to endure. Bleeding lyrics like “I just had a dream I was dead / And I only cared 'cause I was taken from you” anchor the chorus, folded within Greg Kurstin’s uptempo R&B production.

Getting a glimpse into the more playfully human side of the digital sensation, the song’s accompanying video features actresses Charithra Chandran, India Amarteifio, and Yara Shahidi indulging in retail therapy and unapologetic girlhood. As they stroll the streets of London, falling in love with every pair of sunglasses and vintage bag that flirts back, you feel like you’re arm in arm with the girls.

From her bold fashion sense to reviving celebrity music video cameos, PinkPantheress has made it a mission to honor early 2000s culture while still making it her own. Referring to it as her “favorite song” thus far, “Mosquito” only furthers her Y2K dreamy pop legacy as the continues to capture hearts from the UK and beyond.
