"Where You Are" is a song by English singer PinkPantheress featuring American singer-songwriter Willow. It was released on 22 April 2022, through Elektra Records and Parlophone. The song samples " Never Let This Go" by American rock band Paramore.
In January 2022, PinkPantheress revealed that she had a collaboration with Willow in the works. [1] PinkPantheress continued teasing the song until April 2022, when she announced its release for 22 April. [2] The song was released on that day through Elektra and Parlophone. [3]
PinkPantheress, Mura Masa, and Skrillex produced "Where You Are". The three of them are credited as writers on the song, along with featured artist Willow and American rock band Paramore, [4] for the sampling of their 2005 track " Never Let This Go". [5] The song's structure follows PinkPantheress' usual formula, with musical elements such as synths and a drum machine beat that recall hit songs from the early 2000s. [6] A guitar was also used. [7] The lyrics of "Where You Are" show PinkPantheress and Willow longing for their past partners back. PinkPantheress sings: "please tell me that you want to meet again"; Willow tormentedly cries out: "now my life's a downward spiral", in contrast with the lead artist's soft vocals. [8] [9] Willow's part of the song was described as angsty. [10] Chris DeVille of Stereogum opined that the song was a more "haunted version" of her 2021 single " Just for Me". [11] The song's genre is electronic-pop. [12] It contains elements of UK garage, [13] pop-punk, [14] [13] '90s club music and hyperpop. [15] The song's video version runs for three minutes and twelve seconds, which is unusual as PinkPantheress normally makes short-form songs. [16]
In Clash, Robin Murray called the song "a deeply addictive single", as well as "an unruly pop moment that dismisses the rules and embraces freedom". [15] Dork called the track "reassuringly classic", and complimented the prospect of two distinct artists collaborating. [17] Rob H. of Beats Per Minute called the song "an absolute jam". [18] American Songwriter's Sam Long called PinkPantheress's vocals on the track "angelic", and the single as a whole "hypnotic". [19]
