The Short and Sweet Formula Behind PinkPantheress’ Songs

During an interview with ABC News’ Prime Playlist, PinkPantheress shared insights into her music-making process, shedding light on why she prefers to keep her songs short and sweet. The 23-year-old artist revealed that her decision to create short songs stems from a desire to experiment with different approaches to songwriting. For PinkPantheress, the length of a song does not necessarily correlate with its impact. She emphasized that a song does not need to exceed 2 minutes and 30 seconds to convey its message effectively. In her opinion, unnecessary repetitions of verses or lengthy musical interludes are not essential components of a successful track.

While PinkPantheress’ longest song, “Capable,” from her debut album “Heaven Knows,” clocks in at 3 minutes and 43 seconds, most of her tracks fall within the 2 to 3-minute range. Her 2021 mixtape, “To Hell With It,” consists of ten songs, with only three exceeding the 2-minute mark. This deliberate choice to opt for brevity in her music reflects PinkPantheress’ commitment to conciseness and precision in her artistic expression. By embracing simplicity and economy of storytelling, PinkPantheress has carved out a distinct niche for herself in the music industry, captivating audiences with her innovative approach to songwriting.
