Lirik Lagu Stateside - PinkPantheress & Zara Larsson, Viral Setelah Dipakai Alysa Liu

(Ah-ah-ah)

I'm freezing outside, I feel my skin tight

My coat is inside, but I look up at you

I tracked your plane ride for when you're in tonight

Tell me, when is the next time I'll run into you?

(Ah-ah-ah)

I'm freezing outside, I feel my skin tight

My coat is inside, but I look up at you

I tracked your plane ride for when you're in tonight

Tell me, when is the next time I'll run into you?

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

You can be my American, ha, ha (Ha, ha)

Ha, ha, ha, ha (Mwah)

Is it right? I don't know

Yet you're taking my control

Never been abroad before

Now I'm knocking through your door

But you're nice, so I'll stay

Never met a British girl, you say?

No onе treats me this way

Are all boys out hеre the same?

What can I say? (Uh-huh) What can I do? (Uh-huh)

I'm tryna be the girl that you're talking to (You're talking to, baby)

And maybe you can be my American ha, ha boy (Ah-ah-ah)

You can be my American ha, ha boy (Boy)

Why can't you say that you want it too? (Too)

I'm flying intercontinental with you

And maybe you can be my American ha, ha boy (Boy)

You can be my American ha, ha

All those years I put in for the American Dream

Is it worth all the work if you can't be here with me? (Me)

'Cause I fly Stockholm to LA

Leave my feelings on the plane

Worries fade away (Fade away)

When I hit the stage

I've been touring stateside

Kissing my Swedish boy over FaceTime

Who knew, opening up would make me a headline?

Boots, that's my ego boost

Schedule ain't been loose for a minute

Yeah, I'm that girl, I've been it (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah)

Oh, oh-oh, ooh, woah-oh

Oh-oh-oh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-ah

What can I say? (Uh-huh) What can I do? (Uh-huh)

I'm tryna be the girl that you're talking to (You're talking to, baby)

And maybe you can be my American ha, ha boy (Ah-ah-ah)

You can be my American ha, ha boy (Boy)

Why can't you say that you want it too? (Uh-huh)

I'm flying intercontinental with you

And maybe you can be my American ha, ha boy (Hey, boy)

You can be my American, ha, ha

Is it right? I don't know

But you're taking my control

Never been abroad before

Now I'm knocking through your door

But you're nice, so I'll stay

Never met a Swedish girl, you say?

No one treats me this way

Are all boys out here the same?

Stateside merupakan sebuah lagu yang dipersembahkan untuk para pejuang long distance relationship (LDR). PinkPantheress dan Zara Larsson menggambarkan perasaan mereka yang menggebu-gebu, ketika menunggu kerinduan dengan seseorang tercinta yang berada di tempat yang jauh bisa dilepaskan.

PinkPantheress memposisikan dirinya sebagai perempuan Inggris, yang jatuh cinta dengan seseorang dari Amerika Serikat. Dalam beberapa bait liriknya, ia merasa sangat tertarik dan terobsesi dengan sosok tersebut, hingga melakukan berbagai hal seperti memantau jadwal penerbangannya dan berimajinasi bisa pergi satu pesawat dengan dia.

Di sisi lain, ada juga perasaan ragu yang muncul karena percintaan lintas benua seperti ini sangat sulit dijalani. Terlebih, pertemuan sementara gak mampu menghapus rasa rindu sepenuhnya. Siapa yang relate?

"Stateside" merupakan lagu milik PinkPantheress yang versi solonya dirilis pada 25 April 2025. Kemudian pada Oktober, penyanyi asal AS tersebut merilis album remix berjudul Fancy Some More? salah satunya membuat lagu "Stateside" dengan gaya baru lewat kolaborasi dengan Zara Larsson.

Meski sudah dirilis sejak 2025, namun MV untuk "Stateside" versi ini baru dirilis pada Januari 2026. Kemudian lagunya kembali viral setelah dibawakan Alysa Liu di Olympic Winter Games 2026.

Setelah viral, lagu ini langsung meroket di chart dengan menempati Top 10 chart Spotify global dan Spotify AS.
