Stateside Lyrics
[Intro]
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? (Oh)
[Verse]
It sounds insane, right? (Uh-huh)
I'll take the same flight (Mm, uh-huh)
Wait at your bedside (Uh-huh)
I'll land right next to you (Mm, uh-huh)
I'm going stateside (Uh-huh)
Where I'll see you tonight (Mm, uh-huh)
Tell me, how did a girl like me get into you? (Yeah, oh)
[Chorus]
You could be my American, ha, ha, ha, ha
(You could be my American, ha, ha, ha, ha)
[Post-Chorus]
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 one treats me this way
Are all boys out here the same?
[Chorus]
What can I say? (Uh-huh) What can I do? (Uh-huh)
I'm tryna be the girl that you're talking to (Uh, uh-huh)
And maybe you could be my American ha, ha boy
He could be my American ha, ha boy
Why can't you say that you want it too? (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
I'm flying intercontinental with you (You)
And maybe you can be my American ha, ha boy
You can be my American, ha, ha
[Bridge]
I'm freezing outside, I feel my skin tight
My coat is inside, but I look up at you (You)
I tracked your plane ride for when you're—
Tell me, when is the next time I'll run into you?
[Chorus]
You can be my American ha, ha boy
You can be my American ha, ha boy
Why can't you say that you want it too? (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
I'm flying intercontinental with you (You)
And maybe you can be my American ha, ha boy
You can be my American ha, ha
[Post-Chorus]
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 one treats me this way
Are all boys out here the same?

Why does PinkPantheress consider this the best song in her discography thus far?
Just because I think, melodically, the beat’s super fire, I think, just in terms of even the lyrics, it’s just so cheeky.
—via Radio 1’s New Music Show with Jack Saunders
The fact that we made it completely together was fire. But [also] the fact that I think sonically, it’s the best.

I don’t wanna be that person but like, if anyone’s seen my interviews, when they ask me like, ‘Who’s this about?’ I’m like, ‘It’s fictional,’ that’s kind of my go-to reply to avoid. Honestly, is it about someone? Not directly, genuinely, not directly, but, I will say, and this is something not many...

Victoria always looks at me through one squinted eye, especially after I say or do something she feels to be of dubious quality.
