The lead single from PinkPantheress' second mixtape “Fancy That”, “Tonight,” is a synth-powered dance pop track where we see the singer in a more mature light, ready to get it on with her loved one, coupled with sampled orchestral arrangements from Panic! At The Disco’s 2008 song “Do You Know What I...
[Intro]
Like what?
Come on, what?
It's like, "What?"
Come on
[Verse 1]
I waited all this time, now I guess it's time I can hold ya (Like what?)
A million things I can say, but, baby, I'll wait some longer (Come on, what?)
I leave my bedroom with my posters of you up (It's like what?)
I do this all because you're my superstar (Come on, my superstar)
[Pre-Chorus]
I look at you and I wonder why it's so complicated (Like what?)
You're talking out to a crowd of people who thought you hated (Come on, what?)
Your friends will tell me you're too scared of comin' up (It's like what?)
But tonight, why's it all emotional to me?
[Chorus]
You want sex with me? Uh-huh
Come talk to me, come on (Like what?)
You want sex with me? Uh-huh
Come talk to me, come on
You want sex with me? Huh?
Come talk to me (Come talk to me), come on
You want sex with me? Huh?
Come talk to me, come on
[Post-Chorus]
Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight
You're hot, on fire, that's why I'm goin' tonight
Talk later, that's why you're goin' tonight (It's like what?)
Your sex on fire, that's where we're goin' tonight
Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight (Like what?)
You're hot, on fire, that's why I'm goin' tonight
Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight (It's like what?)
Your sex on fire, that's where we're goin' tonight
[Verse 2]
I waited all this time, now I guess this time I can hold ya (Like what?)
A million things I can say, but, baby, I'll wait some longer (Come on, hold on, wait)
And how many hours can we stay up? You can ruin my makeup (It's like what?)
Yes, it's fine (Hah, let's bounce tonight)
You could even ruin my life (Come on)
[Pre-Chorus]
I look at you and I wonder why it's so complicated (Like what?)
You're talking out to a crowd of people who thought you hated (Come on, what?)
Anticipation makes me feel like throwing up (It's like what?)
But tonight, can you get ready? (Come on, what's goin' on?)
[Chorus]
You want sex with me? Uh-huh
Come talk to me, come on (Like what?)
You want sex with me? Uh-huh
Come talk to me, come on (Yeah)
You want sex with me? Huh?
Come talk to me (Come talk to me), come on
You want sex with me? Huh?
Come talk to me, come on
[Post-Chorus]
Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight
You're hot, on fire, that's why I'm goin' tonight
Talk later, that's why you're goin' tonight (It's like what?)
Your sex on fire, that's where we're goin' tonight
Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight (Like what?)
You're hot, on fire, that's why I'm goin' tonight
Talk later, that's why I'm goin' tonight (It's like what?)
Your sex on fire, that's where we're goin' tonight
[Chorus]
You want sex with me? Uh-huh
Come talk to me, come on
You want sex with me? Uh-huh
Come talk to me, come on (Yeah)
You want sex with me? Huh?
Come talk to me (Come talk to me), come on
You want sex with me? Huh?

I literally just really loved that song. I’ve always wanted a song that samples Panic! at the Disco, so I just made it work. I was looking for an intro to throw it all together. I think that was the perfect intro because it’s such a deep cut. So for people who are aware of the sample it’s like, “Oh...
It’s been really fun. I don’t look too much on socials, but I thought people were going to be very like, “Oh my god, ew, no!” But people have actually been really receptive to the whole thing.

The meaning of “Tonight” by PinkPantheress is about the anxiety of being in a romantic relationship, giving a feeling of antipication and longing. Additionally, Pink wishes for a more carefree, youthful, and “childish” relationship, as the lyrics bring a sense of recklessness and immaturity.
