PinkPantheress has made a career off of writing very short songs. Her DIY homespun sound comes hand-in-hand with shorter length tracks. That's why its no surprise some of her tracks with sugary sweet hooks have become hits propelled by social media platforms like TikTok. Despite her increased commercial success, which peaked with the Ice Spice suported remix of "Boys a liar," some online have criticized her artistic approach. Her songs being too short has become a common motif of those criticizing her music.
Unsurprisingly though. it's a critique PinkPantheress herself doesn't agree with. In a recent interview with ABC, she made her case for shorter song lengths. She first claimed that tracks didn't need to be any longer than two minutes and thirty seconds. She justified that length by explaining that her songs don't include bridges or unnecessarily long outros which keeps them so short. The comments sparked plenty of debate among fans online. They discussed whether or not there's an ideal length for all songs and what that length might be. Check out the interview that sparked the debate below.

Earlier this year PinkPantheress was photographed hanging out with Ice Spice and breakout R&B star Tyla. Fans immediately called for the three young stars to collaborate on some music together, with some even billing them as a potential smash girl group.
