British legendary web-zine NME picked PINKPANTHERESS‘s
massive hit ILLEGAL as their best song of 2025.

The song is about PP’s tale of scoring weed.

It samples Underworld’s (British techno celebs)
1994 anthem Dark And Long (Dark Train).

The 24-year-old British songstress commented in an interview with NME: “I don’t know if it’s anything too deep, other than having a [TikTok] trend for it helped and also the sample is quite timeless. I think the power of the beat itself is what people really like about it.”
