"Stateside" is a song by English singer-songwriter and record producer PinkPantheress. It was released on 25 April 2025 through Warner Records as the second single from her second mixtape Fancy That. The song was produced by Aksel Arvid, Harrison Patrick Smith, Jkarri, and PinkPantheress, and was written by PinkPantheress, Caroline Ailin, Harrison Patrick Smith, and Karen Poole.
"Stateside" is a big beat and drum and bass song with elements of R&B, which lyrically explores what it is like "to be in the early stages of a crush".[2] Commercially, the track reached number three on the UK Singles Chart and the Irish Singles Chart, number five in New Zealand, number eight in Germany, and number ten in Austria. On 16 January 2026, a version of the song featuring Swedish singer-songwriter Zara Larsson was released as a single, which is included on PinkPantheress' remix album Fancy Some More?.
Background and release
On 18 April 2025, PinkPantheress announced the release date for "Stateside" on her social media, in collaboration with the music organisation app, [untitled].[3] She later described the track as her "favorite song off [Fancy That]", which "explores [her] growth as an artist".[4] The track samples Adina Howard's 1995 song "Freak like Me",[5][6][7] and Groove Armada's "I See You Baby" (1999).[6] Additionally, William Orbit and the Sugababes have writing credits on the track due to the interpolation of the hook from his song "Spiral" (2006), featuring the group.[8][7]

The remix of "Stateside" featuring Swedish singer Zara Larsson, titled "Stateside + Zara Larsson", was released as a single on 10 October 2025, from PinkPantheress' remix album Fancy Some More? (2025). Its music video was released 16 January 2026, directed by Charlotte Rutherford. Commercially, the remix has reached the top 10 in several countries, including Australia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, and the United States. On 21 February 2026, American figure skater Alysa Liu performed to the Larsson remix for her closing gala skate after winning a gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics, wearing an outfit inspired by PinkPantheress' dress in the video. Her performance received enthusiastic praise from PinkPantheress and Larsson on social media.[40]
Background
In an interview with People magazine, Larsson commented on the recording process of her version of the remix, stating: "It was cute, boom boom boom boom boom, wrote my verse, sent it in, and then it was out like four days later". She further expressed that she "was afraid she was left off the final tracklist after seeing another version of the song with Kylie Minogue", stating: "I got really scared, like, 'Oh my God, what if she hated it? I thought she liked it", but that "it turned out she had, like, a million people on the remixes, which I think is actually a really fun way to do it".[41]
English songwriter and producer MNEK co-wrote Zara Larsson's verse for the remix. Larsson initially contacted MNEK while touring with Tate McRae, noting that PinkPantheress had asked her to contribute to the track. MNEK drafted and recorded a demo of the verse from his sofa using a laptop and a portable microphone. He incorporated specific references to Larsson's life and career into his draft; the line "who knew opening up would make me a headline" was inspired by online reactions to her tour, while "schedule ain't been loose for a minute" referenced her back-to-back touring schedule following the recording of her album Midnight Sun. Larsson subsequently reworked portions of the lyrics in the studio, altering the beginning and end of the verse to better reflect her personal style, while Larsson's recorded vocal riffs were influenced by MNEK's own singing style. Following the recording of Larsson's vocals to the original beat, PinkPantheress and producer Oscar Scheller reworked the track's production into its final version.[42]
Composition and music video
"Stateside" has been described as a dance-pop and electropop track.[43] A Charlotte Rutherford-directed music video for the remix was released on 15 January 2026,[44][45][46] with PinkPantheress and Larsson acting as mannequins in store displays themed around their respective albums, Fancy That and Midnight Sun (2025).[47]
Commercial performance
In the United Kingdom, the remix of "Stateside" with Zara Larsson helped the original track to reach number three on the UK Singles Chart,[36] while Larsson was credited on the UK Airplay Chart, where the song reached number 28.[48] In the United States, "Stateside + Zara Larsson" reached number six on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the highest placement to date on the chart for Larsson.[49] On the Billboard Global 200, the remix reached number two,[50] becoming the highest peaking track on the chart for both artists. Following figure skater Alysa Liu's performance to "Stateside + Zara Larsson" at the 2026 Winter Olympics, the song experienced a boost in popularity worldwide.[51] It later reached number one on the Spotify Global Daily Chart for the first time, with 5.64 million streams on 3 March 2026.[52]
