PinkPantheress dropped her debut album Heaven Knows in November and while the project encompasses 13 songs, it still comes in at a compact 34 minutes – an average of about two and a half minutes per track.
Some fans have noticed a pattern in the British singer’s discography, namely that all of her singles are quite short. In a new interview with ABC News, PinkPantheress shared how she came to favor shorter tracks on the LP and now even favors a quick cut.
“I was able to experiment and making short songs was just a result of me experimenting,” the singer said. “A song doesn’t need to be longer than two minutes [and] thirty [seconds], in my opinion.”
“We don’t need to repeat a verse, we don’t need to have a bridge, we don’t need it. We don’t need a long outro.”
Social media began debating her point of view, with TDE President Terrence “Punch” Henderson posting to X, “No more bridges?”

Even though a six-minute track may be more conducive to something like a ballad, PinkPantheress’ alt-pop style gets the energy going quite early on in a track. Her hit “Boy’s a Liar,” for instance, comes in at just two minutes and eleven seconds.
