JAKARTA - English singer and music producer PinkPantheress has just made a shocking confession about the creative process behind her hit work, "Tonight".
Through a video uploaded on TikTok, the winner of Producer of the Year at the 2026 BRIT Awards revealed that he produced the song only by relying on the built-in keyboard of his laptop, without any fancy studio equipment.
"Tonight" is the lead single from his second mixtape, "Fancy That", which was released last April.
In a short video tutorial, the musician with the real name Victoria Beverley Walker showed how she composed the musical elements manually.
He used the musical typing feature on the Logic Pro software to enter melodies and chords through the keys on the laptop keyboard.
"Everyone is very kind to give appreciation for my music production, so I'll show you how I made the song 'Tonight' from the album 'Fancy That'. The first thing I started was to determine the chord like this," said PinkPantheress, quoted Monday, March 23.
This step was not taken without reason. He wants to send a message to young music producers that the limitations of the instrument are not an obstacle to working. According to him, MIDI controllers or external musical instruments are often priced at a price that is quite draining for beginners.
"MIDI controllers can be very expensive! Manually inputting them into whatever software you're using can work just as well," he added.
In addition to sharing his production techniques, he also paid tribute to the band Panic! At The Disco. The song "Tonight" is known to sample their 2008 work titled "Do You Know What I'm Seeing?".
PinkPantheress said iconic works like theirs not only touch the hearts of listeners, but also motivate many people to pursue their dreams in the music industry.
PinkPantheress' career is indeed skyrocketing. In addition to the success of "Tonight", other songs such as "Illegal" from the same mixtape were named the best song of the year by NME.
When asked about the secret of why his music is so popular, he humbly answered that the power of the music beats and the use of samples are the keys to his success.
"I don't know if there's a reason that's too deep, other than the trend help on TikTok and its music samples that are indeed timeless. I think the strength of the beat itself that people really like," he concluded.
