pinkpirate has shared a new single, ‘Can We Talk About The Past Instead?’

pinkpirate has shared ‘Can We Talk About The Past Instead?’, the third single from their upcoming EP, ‘i don’t want to grow up boring’.

The Sussex-born singer’s new track explores the nostalgia of childhood through a confused and slightly lost lens.

On the new single, pinkpirate shares: “I wrote ‘Can We Talk About The Past Instead?’ about the fear I’ve always had about growing up. I wanted it to be the fun song on the EP, inspired by Charli XCX and other more ‘avant-pop’ artists.

“I’ve always wanted to talk about my anxiety surrounding growing up within a song and I think the lyrics capture the ideas around the pressure to grow up and not be boring or simple, but simultaneously about how once you get to a certain age, you don’t really seem to matter to society anymore (especially on social media),” she adds. “The song originated as a bit of a joke as one of my friends wanted to scream on a song I wrote, so I got her to send me audio of her screaming and then wrote the first verse around that...”.

‘Can We Talk About The Past Instead?’ arrives with a nostalgia-yearning music video, too.
