PinkPantheress has finally confirmed that
her long-awaited collaboration with Willow will be released. The rising
Bath-born, London-based musician hinted the prospective collaboration when
speaking to fans on TikTok back in January. She released her debut mixtape 'To
Hell With It' in October and was recently listed in the NME 100.
While previewing a new single on the
video-sharing app, PinkPantheress responded to one fan who commented: “I feel
like Willow Smith needs to be on this.”
“You have been heard,” PinkPantheress
replied. “Da collaboration I dreamt of for years… brb crying.”
PinkPantheress has now stated that the
collaboration, titled 'Where You Are,' will be released on 22nd April. She
posted a photo of herself on Twitter with the caption "'Where you are'
feat @OfficialWillow 22/04," followed by an eyes emoji.
PinkPantheress was declared the winner of
BBC Radio 1's Sound Of 2022 earlier this year.
“I’m honestly gassed, my dad’s going to be
so happy!” she told the BBC about the win. “I had self-belief from the
beginning but when other people start telling you stuff like this, it genuinely
keeps you going.”
She also said that her fans should “expect a feature or two” in terms of new music in 2022. “I’ve been a bit of a lone wolf so far, but I’ve been really trying to get into my collaboration bag. That’s the thing I’m most excited for.”

Stallion, Lewis Capaldi, Bicep, Chase & Status, Loyle Carner, Jamie xx,

Meanwhile, Willow performed 'Psychofreak,'
a collaboration with Camila Cabello, on Saturday Night Live last weekend.
